So I'm getting ready for my second grow and picked up this perfect cab at a garage sale next door for $10!!!



Once I get all the light leaks sealed up no one will be able to tell!!



Also picked up a baby gate at the sale for $2 and it fits perfectly as a SCROG screen!!



So far that is all I have. I'm going to try and track down some old computers to get some intake and exhaust fans as well. No seeds in the process yet, still deciding if we want to use up our bagseeds or actual order from Attitude. I will start a new grow journal once those steps start taking place. :weed:

Thanks guys!! And glad to see you're still around Glock!!!

What are some good methods of light sealing? I was thinking of using some garage door seal or like a thick foam rubber tape. I've got quite a large area to cover.....

I've got plenty of time to make sure I get it right. I thought about using duct tape for the edges and corners just for extra protection, but with the big gaps I want something a little more secure

i cut a quilt/ drop cloth to size,aluminum foil taped mylar to inside of it,put velcro around edges and around inside of your cab door frame.It seals it up nice any other light leaks seal it up with duct/foil tape.

I was at menards getting stuff to wash by car and noticed it so i picked it up, i bet a lowes or home depot would have the same thing, i think it was like 3$ for a good long roll, peel and stick, its about 1/4" thick and about an inch wide, works really good, its what ill be using to lining the area around my doors on my cab.

Nice, I'm headed to Ace to check it out and see if they have some. I still need to permanently attach and seal the top board on the front, as well as hammer on the boards on the top. Still figuring out where I want to put my fans that I still need to get and where to have the power cord enter. I will have pics up in a bit

Got some 3/8" thick, 1/2" wide door seal tape and put it all around both doors and the upper front "access panel."
Also mounted my surge protector and routed the wiring out of the cab.

Here she is all closed up and light-leak free!!! Total spent so far $17 :)
