Small.batch’s cupboard of stress

[Small.Batch]

Right well I’m just putting some final touches onto my little grow cupboard which will reside under a fish tank eventually. 

As you can Probally tell by the name I’ve not got a lot of space to work with,  the cupboard is only LxWxH 54cm x 54cm x 50cm, 

 

so I’ve got myself a lumatek Attis 200w in there currently and I’m using a 6” Ruck ec fan controlled with a pwm speed controller at the minute, need to get a temp controlled on ideally but I’ve had the cupboard running and can maintain the temps quite consistently so may just see how I go. 
 

so I’m currently waiting on a seedling heat mat to arrive and then I can get that installed and get a seed popped. 
 

bear with me just working out about pics at the minute.

So managed to get the pics uploaded off my phone. 
 

here’s the front of the cupboard,

 

and inside 

 

electrics and controls in cupboard next door 

 

and then sensors inside and a camera for time lapse 

 

Still awaiting a heat mat to arrive and then get that installed and I should be ready to pop a bean !

p.s when the fishtank's up and running post a picture in the pets section, there are a few fishkeepers on here myself included who would love to see it.

Cheers buddy, has been a labour of love and planning but the light is almost at the end of the tunnel, 

 

Defiantly will do a little photo thread as and when it’s all done and going in, that’s another project thou !

 

also all the sensors are hooked up to the sonoff’s so I can monitor when I’m not at the house,

oo i see a small white strip on bottom edge what happens when the door warps , 

[Small.Batch]

@geogeo I’ve got strip all around the door sealing it, no light leaks there, the interior of the cupboard is lined with orca aswell, 

 

there’s a lock which pulls the door in tight to the seals aswell. 
 

as for the door warping I’ll just get a new one at £30 if it happens 
 

and yes I’m a sparky haha how could you tell

Hi 

 

Lovely organised build you have there, I used to grow under my computer desk (3 x 250W Cool Tubes with a scrog), this was before the introduction of LEDS but a small recommendation, ditch the air pots and try and find plastic containers instead, I used washing up bowls, you can gain a bit of height that way, I know that LEDS keep the height down but you have hardly any if you intend on using that larger airpot, lovely build though and I wish you all the best
