Was down at my local favourite Scandinavian furniture store recently and spotted this rather attractively priced cupboard that comes complete with an internal plastic tray that's on runners . One would rather assume that it was purpose designed as a grow cabinet, anyway a few minor modifications later and it's been converted into a new cloning cab



Still needs abit of work to stop light leaks but as this will be only for vegging it's not going to be critical. Still haven't finished covering all the inside with mylar yet.



Add in a few server cabinet fans to provide a good airflow, these little puppies run on 240v so don't need a transformer, and some lighting and voila



Here's the internal plastic tray, this is sheer genius, slides right out for easy watering and inspection.



They've got a sale on at the moment so these cabinets work out at a reasonable price if you're in the market for a small cabinet.

Nice job Felix

Is this from Ik**?

Im in the market for something similer myself...........

A nifty box if ever i saw one!

Nice. Handy little tray that is.

It is indeed , couldn't believe it when I saw one set up in the shop and just instantly thought how it would be ideal for raising clones and seedlings. It was the internal tray that really sealed the deal



Thanks Bish, I'll have to credit the designers for a well thought out cab. It really did require very little modification on my part

e2a:



Man, the tray is a quality idea and the runners are sweet , makes it so easy to get at the plants

nice one Felix
just one thing ,clip them cables up ,looks untidy

Yes Sir !! I'll get them tidied up right away

Sadly I've never been the most organised of people

i feel a trip to ikea coming on

nice find and conversion mate

im not going to show you how organized my veg box is

It's a good buy with their sale on at the moment




and I'd always assumed it was the model of organised perfection, just like Mr Woodbine's

Hi Felix - nice find - what's the model number coz I've had a look on their website and can't find owt that looks like that?

It's a PAX, size 100x60x70

and it looks gorgeous

great job Felix

Thanks tsk but all the credit is due our Scandinavian cousins for a rather excellent design job

fantastic felix, great find
im heading to the land of Scandinavian furniture this very day, im after a new tv stand but im keeping my eye out for a new mum box

all the best.

I know this is off topic , so please excuse me, but how do you get your thumb nail photos to upload as small scale images and then when clicked they open in a new window large scale ??

Good luck my friend . Have fun assembling the TV stand when you get back




If you reply to the post that contains one of the pictures you'll see the code I used in my quote. The pictures are from my gallery and the img is the thumbnail of the picture I wanted to display.

Must have been a run on them recently then

Hey, I have the same box, only in white, I'm about to start flowering in 2 weeks The box was a BITCH to light-proof (cereal boxes cut into strips and LOTS of black tape

Forgot to add, Ik*a is like a superstore for weed growers, I got almost everything I needed there... I felt like a f*ckin' tool with 20 CFL lightbulbs in the shopping cart

the tray on rollers looks like the dogs bollocks.

Easy inspection and all that.

Great find.

great clone cab felix

so felix, its been nearly a month now and the important question for me is how is the draw holding up? basically are the rails etc still ok or do you reacon they are feeling the weight of the compost now after a few opening and closings?

still its an awesome cab mate, top job

Thanks guys

@ Scarface,

It's been a while now and the runners are still working ok. Having said that I've only been using very small 1/4 litre pots mostly and the largest that's been in there were 1/2 litre so there really hasn't been much weight placed on it. I don't think the runners would last long if you were to use heavier pots and possibly even with light use they may need replacing every 18 - 24 months. Not a major expense but certainly something to be aware of, when the runners finally give up the ghost you could still just use the tray on it's own.

sweet!

Steady on my son ...... ...... 'organised-perfection' is, .... as you are well aware ....my middle name .....


...A month late with a response ...ah well - better late than never....


Fine little veg cab you have there btw ....


Laz

Thank you Laz

About as organised as your feeding schedule I'll warrant . Mind you the Woodbine regime seems to agree with my plants

Nice cabinet comrade! If I may ask? What color temps are your T8s?

what a find comrade! those scandanavians are full of great ikeas ideas
nice and compact, neat and discreet - what more could you want from a clone box?
leading the way, not only in lighting experimentation, but growroom design too good on yer for sharing with the community mate
