If i build a cab i can make a veg box an a bloom box an keep a cycle contiously going is the plan .. not to crazy but still enough to satisfy my needs because its starting to hit the pockets pretty good i need to not spend so much lol maybe i can save in the long run here ..

i like my tent and it cost me about what it would have cost to build something myself. I picked up a standard 4x4x7 tent for 140 plus it's reflectively lined much easier than trying to hang mylar

For years I used a custom cabinet I made. I moved and purchased a 2x4 tent and I couldn't be happier. Easy to assemble and ready for my germated seed the same day. No fuss. Under $140 and can go with me under the radar if I should move again or just want to break it down during my rest periods.

well i decided im a use a cabinet i have for the veg an a tent for the bloom .. so i gues smy question now would be ventaltion for the cabinet i have a light that measures 24 inchs long it has a 150 watt hps light in the middle an 4 t5 fluros 2 on each side of the 150 watt kinda cool little light fits perfect in my cabinet
here's the measurements for my cabinet
30 inch tall
36 inch wide
25 inch deep
i think this is a descent size for a quick ponics system .. im looking for a tub that is slim in design gonna build my own kit instead of 1 pump im going with 2 air pumps ,, what would be the most efficiat air pump to put inside the tub that is of good quality?? i need to order the asap also need help with what computer fans to buy?? 120mm 74 cfm?? was thinking of installing 2 on the rear lower portioin of the cabinet for intakes .. now just need to decide what to do for the exaust??? My light is not an air cooled light so what will be most efficiat way to exaust hot air???

I'm not sure if I'm reading first grow or new grow but get a tent they're fast simple, easy to ventilate and maintain and if it's hitting the pockets, grow in soil......

aswell as a nice cab i can take every where i go thats stealthy .. to me the cab is more stealthy then a tent lol... so i will only need the tent up for bloom then take it down while vegging exc...
