yes i took the two top draws out but mounted their fronts to the bottom one with a bit of ply  and sealed the joints with decorators caulk (needs re doing) and for intake i drilled holes in the floor and then holes in the bottom draw in diff places to the bottom holes to be a sort of light trap ill take some pics for you petal , the extraction is a high power 12v dc 90mm fan you can buy far more powerful fans than they put in to pcs if you know where to look  and in summer i use to put two fans in side the ducting if needed

cmh is ceramic metal halide  they have little driver ive screwed on the back , the ducting and filter for me is a must have , ive seen guys make filters out of cooker hood carbon sheets im not sure how good they are but you could make a flat one for more stealth ,

i tried it up stairs but it was to hot my house is very warm up stairs , i should of done autos then i could just leave the lights on , yes the ceramics look good dont they

 

thats interesting  a bit long tho maybe but there is a good poss i can wind it on the bottom of the cab where the holes are ....

 

power resistors that might well do it as well ... cheers food for thought

 

@duke so you foot long has a stat on it ?  ive just bought a two foot one for my pals tent  with a stat  i didnt know you can ge them on a foot long one ,

 

ok thanks , i have a bit of thinking to do

 

@Petal ill take a few pics of my two cabs so you can get ideas

 

Alright then Forest, good information so I can try the same... Thanks hun and yes please, appreciate your pics. Good stuff!! xx

I sense a stealth cabinet grow coming in Petal's kitchen (yes I am psychic).

 

All good things

I'm planning on doing something similar to prevent an outside box with an ethernet repeater in it from freezing up

Waw buddy absolutely amazing

[Petal]

another question Forest, what sort of environment controller do you use? does this also control the lights? thanks

[2scoops]

I`m thinking old school Roman type underfloor heating myself or a few heat mats.

[Forest]

no its just the temp @petal  its a call for hot or cold room stat mounted inside,  so when its cold the fan drops to a min speed ive set  with a pot (variable resistor) and when its hot the fan runs at full speed , ive got some fine tuning to do and  a rebuild of the fan controller  i want to use a atc-800 now  to connect a heater up to it as well , and using dc volt fans that make it so much easier to control the speed of them than mains powered ones

[Petal]

ok well that's right out of my league now Forest lol I just maxed out my capabilities and my brain is now mushy stuff lolol ..thanks I might have to look at another way to work the environment somehow

[Forest]

if you dont have the too cold lights off temps it wont mater  just run it on full or use a pc fan controller to have it at a preset speed

 

or we can walk you though diy one ive got to make a new one so you can follow it

 

or use a ready made one like a sms com twin fan speed thingy  and a mains pc fan which are far more power full
