ello mate lookin nice n tidy, well built. i use 125w ecolite cfl`s for starting seedlings and veg, and if my leaves touchy touchy they get burny burny! they still get hot enough to burn your leaves mate. they can get about an inch away, just not touching.

You got any ideas on a light baffle? I get what your saying as it will fuck up the 12/12 if light can get in! plus add to "stealth" lol.gif. so you know any simple solutions??

mate of mine had the same problem, if you can get your hands on or buy a second hand wardrobe or summit and convert it, it's a much easier way, but adds to cost, but you would be paying for timber anyeway so.... plus you also could get lucky and get like draws and stuff for all your nutes! and shit! so your cush, help you when your baked looking after your plants you'll never forget where you put anything! v.gif

i noticed you havent got any air intake holes either ?

theres a few threads about light baffles & passive intakes to help you out.

That fan is intake, so will i need extraction??

If i was to say put a fan in that is exactly the same as the one i've got in there but so that it would draw air out would that help? this would obviously be oposite side, and maybe lower down, wiring it shouldn't be a problem,

Let me know! v.gif

Whats going on here? Yes you will need extraction, yes you will need a light baffle for both extraction and intake, yes you will need to do something about the smell (carbon filter or similar). Maybe you didnt read all the thread Leepy mate but this is hardly 'bang on'. I'm not meaning to be harsh but there are some basic enviromental conditions you need to take care of before you even start, theres no point in sugar coating it.

You want the intake fan low down and the extraction one high up, im looking for a corner cupboard to buy and convert myself at the minute.
Looks really good mate, well done.
