I was housing my plants in the last cab i made (link in sig) but i got ahold of a mini fridge, and had to pimp it out... Havnt 'finished' it yet; i need to add some type of cooling, looking for any great ideas... copped a (actual)65w CFL Flood with hood and housing at good ol' hD for under $50, puts out over 4000 lumens, 6500k. seems like an ok choice for right now. I ripped the refrigeration unit and tubing out, ran my light & my power(extension cord tip) to the same cord that originally came out of the fridge (keepin it stealth) Got a lock for the door, its my wine fridge? ZERO light leak is key, and so far so good, but want to make sure with my air system im not leaking light... Check out my babies...
forgot to mention, the lamp housing came with a uv filtered glass, i took that glass off and put the housing on top of the shelf glass from the fridge, i can move the light up and down easily that way without having to rig it up, that should make things easier
looks good but id say take that huge black pot out because it takes up so much room, you'd have better air movement without it, you could grow your plants to the end in those coffee cans, id think about adding two 42watt cfls and you'll be straight till the end, I like those mini fridge grows alot, i looked at my old one but its a mirco mini fridge like 2ftwide by 1ft high which dosnt work, im going to keep a eye on this, Also you got the better of the Cfl lights in that lamp, becayse its so flat and not the circle type you use more light, good look bro
noo doubt! Any ideas on cooling? i dont think i want to run pc fans for intake and exhaust like i did last time...i want to move a good amount of air, need to keep the light out, and smell from leaking
I have 2 porcelain lamp holders im going to wire in, I also have a UVB light.. i was thinking of attaching the 2 light holders onto the door, so when its open i can still move the main lamp and shelf, im not even sure if im going to use this as a mother cab, or if im going to flower in it as well...
i really need to figure out something for cooling asap, i cant leave the door open on the fridge all day tomorrow.. thinking about drilling some holes in the bottom, placing a fan in the undercarriage part where the condenser was to get some air in from behind, scratching my head for exhaust
Dremel! dont drill holes yet, lemme see wat i got at the shop tomm i may have somethin like that.. dont rush on something u cant grab everyday.. ie. MINI FRIDGE!
i cut a 5x5 inch hole in the back nd afixed a 120mm computer fan as my exhaust!, check out the mini fridge link in my sig for more details be well and safe growing! Bp
Devastation, devastation, devastation. I MURDEREDDDDD my HashBerry I closed the fridge door for about 2.5 hours with 2 additional cfl's i had thrown in, never got around to ventalation...lesson learned, TOASTED TO A CRISPPPP!
