Hey Guys,
I am planning to begin my first grow here in a couple of weeks and I just need help with a few basic things. I stumbled across a badass cabinet/entertainment system at goodwill for 50 bucks and it blends into my room perfectly(pictures below). Plan to make the top area the Flowering chamber and the bottom the Clone/veg area. Another nice thing is that my A/C vent is right by the back of the cabinet so i will be getting so super cold/fresh air in that box.
The cabinet is pretty cool but it does have some light leaks. I plan to close those up with some caulk. My question is how do you think i could fix the light leaks on the side of the doors and middle where the doors meet (pictures Below)? I would think that if i put sealent on the cracks it would impede the door from opening properly. Also i do not really want tape on the outside. I live in a one bedroom apartment so i don't want maintenence seeing my taped up cab. I read about too many people getting caught on this board.
That brings up my next point. This is in a single bedroom apartment where mainetence can come in and have their way with my shit at any time. I am gonna have to be on my A game in order to keep my operation covert and I know this. I plan on getting a 4 inch Inline fan and carbon filter combo from HTGsupply along with a 4 inch duct fan (for the intake) and a Floralux 150 watt HPS. I am pretty sure that a powerful 4 inch inline will take care of the 150 watt heat (only want 2 mature plants at one time) but I am not sure about the smell. Do you think that the 4 inch inline fan and filter would be able to keep my room minty fresh or would it still stink with only 2 mature plants?
The next sense I have to worry about is sound. With an 150 watt HPS/Inline Fan/Duct fan all going at the same time, what kind of sound do you think I am gonna get and will it be noticable?
My final question has to do with an appropriate locking system. The cabinet obviously has no locking mechanism and that just won't do. I was thinking about putting a small pad lock at the very top of the double doors (pic) and then maybe a blanket over the top of the cabinet that would hand over the edge and conceal the lock. Is that a good idea or is there any better way.
Thanks for all the help guys; I will be sure to keep you posted
