Hey guys,
So let me start off by saying this is my first grow ever. I mean I have tried it once but it didn't work out and the plant died within the first 4 days. I sort of took a break after that. I decided that I would try and get back into it.
I did a lot of research to build a grow box that would fit my needs. I had to build it from scratch because I couldn't find a cabinet with the exact dimensions I needed. Here are some pictures when I started to build the cabinet. The dimensions are 2x2x4 not exactly maybe a little smaller but yea. I'm going to be growing Greenbud Seeds White Widow x AK47 Early version. Does anyone know what that means early version? I'm going to be using a SolarStorm440
it took me 2 months to build this thing although I do work so that kind of got in the way.
After building the main frame and the outside of the box I sealed the whole inside of it with construction adhesive (the gorilla glue one to be exact). I then let that dry for a day with a fan blowing towards it. After letting it dry I sealed it again with silicone. I originally had the square inner frame but I took out one of the front 2x2 pieces. Originally I was going to put a separate chamber for my light to cool it but it's an led so I changed my mind. After sealing it with silicone and letting it dry I applied foil tape. Hvac tape it's what they use for ducting. This tape sticks to anything really good tape.
I really wanted to make a thread on a diy for this cabinet but I just couldn't find the time. I assume if anyone wanted to know how to build it they could just do it by studying the build. I used mdf for the outside panels and the door it's expensive. You can use particle board if you wanted to go the cheaper route. All together not including the light and seeds I probably spent $200-$230 seems like a lot but I got to customize it to how I liked it plus a cabinet this size would be close to $100 new. There charging almost $3,000 for super closet like wth?? That's crazy anyway
After sealing and putting the tape I lined it with the... I forgot what it's called poly something. I just know the guy at the store told me it's really good stuff.
Some pics of the ventilation and the light
