    Default metal cupboard grow room

    i started another thread here:https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-foru...se-list-please

    but have lost the room in the garage i was gonna use ( its split into 3) so my only option now is to use a cabinet grow in my workspace area:

    I've got cabinet:

    i only want to grow auto flower high cbd strains ( anxiety and substitute for alcohol ) under a scrog if i can master it lol.

    im gonna line the box with 25mm celotex, the room is already insulated with 100mm celotex
    trying to put a shopping list together for it. , i had in my head:

    Ballast:

    figured this would be good at 250 for germination and then turn up as they grow

    Air filter:

    Controller:

    WAS LOOKING FOR HELP ON?

    Air cooled hood or not? and bulb type, do i go dual to start and finish? links to suitable would be great btw
    Airpot size ?
    fans to help airflow in cabinet


    I was gonna vent into different room to help change temperature before it escapes to prevent a heat signature on a garage 30 metres from house, would i be better with a passive intake from the same room the cabinet is in?

    your collective help would be greatly appreciated

    10 or 11 ltr air pots are perfect for autos, I've been using 15 ltr but haven't been all that impressed with my root mass. Imo dropping down to 10 /11 is ideal😉

    my steel cupboard is 920mm wide by 1000mm high and 470mm deep, i will be adding a 25mm celotex liner to it so measurements will be less 50mm except the height which will be less 25mm.


    looked at a lumatek 400 watt ballast.
    air cooled hood , i aint sure which one tbf???
    6" rhino filter and rvk fan ? which model if u could please, don't want to use too big a model just wanna clear the air properly.
    eco technics controller .
    anything else i need other than a passive intake ? opinions would be great.
    was going with soil grow in as mentioned 10litre airpots , what is recommended medium?
