Ztelthys 100W HPS TV Cabinet Conversion (Pimped Out !!!)
- Thread starter Ztelthy
- Start date
Wicked! Now hurry up and get some beans in lol
Looks excellent mate, in honesty I didn't think the PC fans would cut it, cooling the 250w, good that you got it to work!
Hi dude, I wont be planting any for a while yet cos I have just planted 1X Blue Cheese in my other Cab!
.. I'am aiming to smash my record of 17.5oZ from a (single plant) perhaps 20oZ !!! ...sadly it'll be my last grow in that cab....as after I will be taking it apart a getting rid of it 
...My Wifes not overally happy about it...but she and I have come to an agreement...thats also why I've been making the TV Grow Cab... I'd be lost without a Cab. in my life 
lol.. Yeah the 3 PC fans and the 4" Systemair In-Line fan has it sorted...and in warmer weather I can control temps with the Wattage Selecter on my Lumatek Digital Ballast
More Updates coming soon

Harsh, my missus don't like it either which is why I'm only allowed 1 cab with a max of 2 plants but she don't go in there so I usually run 2-5 lol this time only 1 though. Bloody women!
But then you only need 1 helluva efficient portable cab and it'll last you a lifetime.
I'll challenge your record with my grow, I'll aim for 18oz see who can get the most, seeing as we have roughly equivalent wattages, LED vs HPS in similar setups?

Looks awesome, like a lab quality except mini. Any noise output from that?
Whats that odorsok? Thought it was a filter, but i see the filter above the lights.
Well these new pictures don't even have the sok or the filter. So hmmm.

Hi dude, cheers.. the TV Cab runs next to silent, and the bigger Cab pictured above is a little louder but not enough to raise any concern.. The Odor Sok on the smaller cab is just there to stop dirt, bugs n dustetc from entering the grow-space.. and also to stop any unwanted back-draft odors etc.. and on the larger cab I have it set up slightly different with the odorsok still at the bottom and on the intake...its just been placed on the outside of the cab attached to a 6" Elbow...and I have an 8" In-Line fan attached to an 8" Rhino Carbon Filter up top...I'll post pics another day which will explain a little clearer
- ZTELTHY 
^ This is a view from the outside of the larger cab, you can see the 6" Odorsok attached via a 6" Duct component.. Above is my heated propagator for seedlings/clones..also in that corner is my case (filled with hid lamps 250's 400's and 600w lamps MH & HPS
^ ..and here is a view inside the larger cab at the top...its a tad messy up there, I need to get round to tidying it up as well as replacing the dirty air-lines on the air-pumps
But this is where my 8" in-line fan and 8" Rhino filter sits as well as my 3X lumatek ballasts (250,400 & 600) I also have CCTV in there so if I want to check temps and view the plants without opening the cab I can do so without opening the cab and releasing any of her precious smells lol.. I have a green night light and a stereo that plays 'Sounds of the Rain-Forest' to my plants 24/7 - ZTELTHY

Bahahaha, your plants get to live a happy life before they meet the flame!
Pretty soon the organic kids will follow suit and argue that it makes a better tasting bud if you play music to your plants.
I get it now, 2 different cabs.
When I was a teen and had visions of growing this is how my setups would look in my head and glad to see people taking pride in their work. DO you use any silent line fans?
And if people come by your place how do you avoid them opening it up to watch some TV? Haha.

Not much to log this week, as not much was delivered
..However I did get my '4,2 & 0 Carbon fiber self adhesive numbers.. I always add these number to my cabs I usually use mirrored numbers but I couldn't find any this time and kinda liked the carbon look lol..Anyhow this week I am going to focus just on sorting out the reflector ..and hiding some wires etc.. Then if any other bits I've ordered come through...I can plan work on my project TV Cab. accordingly
Hope ya'll like the '420' addition

Yeah they do lol.. I don't so much believe that low-level music will help or assist the plants growth in anyway I just like to open my Cab at night with just the green night light on.. I pull up a stool and light up a quality Spliff and crack open a cold Beer...and listen to the trippy 'nature sounds' whilst pruning/admiring my plants as they blow in the breeze from my fan.. Its very theraputic Yeah the big cab will be going soon, that's partly why I am building the smaller TV Cab.. (Mrs moans to frequently about the big one)
lol.. that and I wanted an ideal grow environment suited for growing in hot summer temps without AC etc..I am very passionate about my Cabs and always aim to do the best I can
.. I know what you mean though when you 'have a vision' ...I am terrible..If I go to a store with cupboards etc...my mind works on overtime on different ways I could mod them for awesome grow setups...Its like my mind goes on auto-pilot lolThe small cab runs quieter than my breathing
lol..and the big cab is about as loud as a 7" desk fan left on in a spare room...so not very loud I use Systemair in line fans in both cabs, a 4" in the TV Cab and an 8" in the bigger one, also in the bigger one I have anti-FLIR film,Accoustic sound mat, as well as Dynamat... so this not only stops those pesky pork choppers in the sky - Cypress Hill - Dr Green Thumb Quote lol.. but it also keeps noise a temps down too The unit/s are in a spare bedroom, thats never used
and is always locked...once the door is closed it is silent from the other side! Right I'am hungry 'Steak Egg & Chips I think

Do those anti FLIR mats work? I figured if these tens of thousands of dollar FLIR cameras were scrambled by some cheap(in comparison) mat, wouldn't it be a stupid for LEO to use? Like do you have any scientific proof or can you link me to any scientific proof that these work?
Hi dude, I was shown a demo of a FLIR image taken whilst the gun was facing a grow tent with a 600 in it, whilst it reduced the thermal image it didn't completely eradicate the heat signature.. I doubled up on it on my cab...and also lined my loft above with it... I only exhaust into my house and only really use a 400W HPS and a couple of 125/150W CFL's and I turn the heating off upstairs so the ambient temp upstairs in my house is always around 19oC ..More than anything its just added piece of mind..
Everything is going to plan..just awaiting my 10.0 UVB lamp and some other bits n pieces

Yup. with you there. Every bit of extra peace of mind is worth it!
Damn expensive stuff compared to mylar though.
Temps just hit the floor here and going to 12/12 soon so going to flip over to night time lights on to keep temps more stable.
The grow is in the bedroom so on the plus side, I get the extra heating. On the minus, I get the fan noise at night.
What I'm wondering is this......
Do I close the windows, block the inlet (from outside) and allow air inlet from inside (where we are both breathing out Co2) while asleep or leave it as it is, pulling cold air in from the eaves?

Women can be so hard to please sometimes eh!?
Challenge excepted!
Well I can get 4oz from my current cab whilst using CFL's so you wont have a problem with that
Challenging your big cab? - for some reason I thought I was challenging your TV cab
always up for a bit of a man off HAHA, so yes I will try to outgrow your 400w HPS in the big cab (or is it 600w) lol We'll see XDI run Advanced nutrients jungle juice as a base with Big bud, getting some Overdrive soon. Anything else I use as additives is just random crap I find lying around the shed like baby bio
that shit works wonders for micro deficiencies and is dirt cheap!Personally I use the air in the room to both intake and exhaust into..then open window's on the otherside of the house..the direction my home is facing the wind always blows through..and at night the temps keep us warm. But yeah I can hear the fan...but after a couple of spliffs I am out for the count and it doesnt bother us
I too though about the breathing out of Co2 ..every little helps eh!? If your pulling in cold air thats better...just try not to vent outside, many a trouble can occur when you vent outside..
Hope that helps - ZTELTHY
