Ok , got some Magic Dragon seeds and decided I would play with them . at the same time I decided to put a new cabinet together to see how much a "cheap" grow would be for a friend of mine .
The cabinet is 15" x 25" inside diameter and 34" high inside . Took me a bit to get it where I wanted it . The middle shelf was part of the wall assembly so I had to cut out the center . The top was also cut out and a piece of sheetrock screwed down on top .
Inside was lined with medal film I have and also metal 3" tape .
intake /exhaust is pretty simple . I cut out 4 holes in the doors and put small vents in . The exhaust is an Attwood 4000 4" fan running at 12v . Used a walwart to power that .
The lights are a single bathroom light bar with 3 splitters . In the sockets are 2 @ 6700k bulbs ( 26 watt) and 4 @ 2700k ( 26 watts) . Total of 10.5k lumens .
Now the costs :
Cabinet $59
light bar $7
reflective material free
tape $2
Fan $17
vents $5
bulbs ........ 5 pack of the 2700k for $7 ... the 6700k were free
pots .69 apiece so $5.52
all the little stuff I already had laying around , so a total of $102 for the complete box.
Heres the outside . You can see the vents and the Atwood exhaust fan on top .
