Ok its almost done 5'6"high 6' long 2'8"deep with a cloning room that is 2' wide and 2'6"high...In the cloning chamber I will have 2-75 watt floros and the main compartment will have a 600 Watt digital Ballast with both HSP and MH lamps, air cooled 6 inch hood fan with carbon filter...Fan will be mounted above the cloning chamber on the bench part of the unit...Please give my your opinions before I finish this, will be complete within 1 week.:bigjoint:

Sweet! In the process as well. Starting a Grow Journal??? So your door is like a garage door, pulls strait up? Wish I had the room for that. What did you use to get hang the mylar? Im got some 3M spray adhesive 40, hope its not toxic to plants. Oh and one question are you growing from clones? If so, wheres your mother go? Im assumeing that your gonna flower somewhere else?

I used nickle plated thumbtacks and yes the door opens up like a garage door, I figured this would hide light better and less likely for kids to pull apart the doors to see whats inside. At first I will be growing from seed then from clones and I will be flowering in the cabinet also. Im not sure I have enough room in the cabinet for clones, veg and a mother and the extra cost in lights, heat and wiring sketches me out. Therefor this is it my grow cabinet with a cloning station and an area for 6-12 plants, deep SOG or just some fattys.

After thinking about your set up and looking at the size of your small chamber and the size of your propagation tray and dome. I bet you could fit a LST’d mother and 4, 12” clones in there. So that when your cloning it’s a aeorponics mister with a 6” x 6” footprint, the basin just tall enough to submerge the pump. Then when the 4 clones get roots you swap out the aeropincs for the pots??? I think you could do it. Look up some Low Stress Training techniques, if ya havnt already. LST could keep your mother nice and short. Maybe even 6 clones at once…?

P.S. The stain looks great! Doin mine all black outside. For better Basement camouflage.
