Church Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi ChurchYou've occasionally mentioned that you would alter the design of the wardrobe somewhat, especially by removing the top shelf of the setup to give you more room. If you were to do so, would the design of the attached image be worth considering? I realise that flower space would be reduced, but instead of (presumably) a yield every 4 to 4 and a half months, the design of the attached setup would offer fruit every 2 to 2 and a half months. With a 125 CFL in the bottom compartment (no filter, just pc fan for air flow - smell during veg not an issue) and a 250 HPS (normal, not cool tube) in the top with a fan and filter the same as yours, I suspect this could work. Any advice will be much appreciated, and, to be honest, followed. That's an impressive looking drobe for sure - looks very professional. I've always kept a separate vegging area, which allowed me to have a perpetual grow ongoing for a couple of years, where 1 or 2 went in every 3 to 4 weeks as 1 or 2 came out - it kept me happily in weed on an ongoing basis. Unfortunately, the last 2 plants I grew in there - NLxHaze - were massive plants and took up the entire grow area = end of perpetual. Stuey - I never weighed it, but it is enough. The cooltube's one of the best things I ever put in there, made so much difference in temperature - I'd recommend one if you can get it. It'll definitely work as long as you're lightproofed between the areas. I don't know how you'll find the upper area spacewise - I find the height restrictive as is. As long as you keep your plants really short, you should be ok - but I found myself wishing for more height on many a grow. Good luck in your endeavours, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a bit of cash and I can copy the shit out of this. The missus wasn't happy with the suggestion of donating an entire room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nad84dan Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Likeing this alot. And its the way im going to go. Ive got a few questions though to people who have made a growdrobe. 1. Would I need a contactor to turn on a 250 hps 2. What would be the ideal size area for a 250 hps 3. How do you make sure no funny smells leak out if your growing in a drobe and have a fan and filter combo for the out take and passive intakes for intake. (Surely some smells would leak out from any of the gaps of which im sure there will be a few on a wardrobe. Is it a cast of these gaps are pretty much adding to the passive intakes and as such if the out take fan is on high enough (so more air is bering sucked out then sucked in) it will create negative air flow and therefor no smells?)

Matt 08 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi I've got a chest of drawers, that i would like to convert the lower half into veg space. The bottom 2 drawers measure 40cm depth - 75cm width - 35cm height. I was thinking of using this light which measures 6cm depth - 25cm width - 60cm length. How do i go about taking out the drawers and leaving the handle bit on to make it look stealthy, what would i attach the light onto? Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyturnip Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Church, thanks very much for this, it's been very useful in my quest to grow. Regarding the dreaded fan controller. They're available right now on eBay for £4.99 delivered. Search for this - 'dimmer plug*' and include the asterisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
