Looking for some feedback on my cabinet thats going to house both the clone and flowering rooms. This cabinet is 78X36X24. The bottom half is 55.5 inches and the top half is 22.5. Theres a 4 inch duct joining the two chambers. I used spray foam to seal the inside edges of the self, and plan to line the outside edge of the self with weather stripping as soon as I can find some. I'll also probably need to line the doors with something because they're recessed.
My custom made aeroponic units are 15 inches tall - a 10 gallon roughneck inside a 14 gallon. The 396 pump resides in the bottom roughneck which acts as the reservoir. I started with StinkBud's designs tho, so alot of credit goes to him. I do plan on using 1 soil pot for a mother plant.
I'm using 4 24watt T5s up top, and a 400 watt HPS down below in a cool tube with a 6 inch Vortex fan. The fan is temporarily sitting on an upside down roughneck until I construct a better mount and intake that will also utilize the 4 inch ducting leading to the top. I also have a mini 6 inch oscilating fan too. The flex ducting isn't hooked up because my lamp is having issues. I'm taking it back to the hydro-shop tomorrow.
One huge problem is that my plants only have 6-7 inches to grow on top, and 27.5 to grow on thh bottom... Kinda sucks, makes me wish I wouldn't have spent all this money on timers, roughnecks, pvc, etc for a hyrdo setup. Some pots and soil would have been lower profile and allowed the plants to grow larger. I think my hydro setup will kinda make it hard to do SOG style growing too but we'll see. A concern of mine is that 1 mother plant must live up top. She'll only have 22.5 inches including whatever pot. A 3 gallon pot is already 11 inches, so I'm really worried how the mother situation is going to work out.
I've never grown anything yet, but got some seeds from Nirvana already, and some on the way from Attitude. Too bad I placed the order from Nirvana before I even had the cabinet and was also a total n00b (well, still am I guess). I got some Jock Horror and Ice seeds. The Jock Horror is going to get tall so I'll probably have to trash it. I tried to find the best short strain I could tho the second time and came up with blue moonshine. They say it rarely goes over 3 feet outside and 2.5 inside. Hopefully I can get by with this strain as a mother and only 22.5 inches...
