    Default Stealth grow cabinet

    Hey everybody I’m feeling artsy and decided to turn my old cabinet into a seedling/early veg tent. I’m planning on adding a 300w CFL and reflector, some PC fans on the walls for air circulation and I’ve pre-cut a hole in the side for my digital hygrometer and thermometer for easy access but I’m stuck on one thing.... what material should I line the inside with, my first idea was just shit loads of thick tin foil but then I realised that would crank up the heat like crazy. A friend of mine who turned his cupboard into a grow used reflective Mylar (which I’m pretty sure is what goes into tents) but is there anything better/cheaper? Like could I just paint the inside white? I don’t want to lose too much light reflectivity just trying to save a few quid once....
    so if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated

    I’m pretty sure it’s bigger than that mate, but at least it’s a minimum to go off... I’d say it’s more 1.5x2x3 but I can’t be exactly sure till I remember where I was pottering around when I last used the tape measure lol

    Lol fair enough mate, I mean if I cared about being able to take everything out and it still look like a cabinet then I guess I’d have to go with Mylar but I honestly might just slap some paint in there although it might be a little harder to clean

    Cheers mate, that’s tonight’s reading sorted lol.

    I’ve never built anything like this before mate, so I’ll probably have a few questions I was going to use it when I first started but sprung for the tent instead. Not sure if I’ll be able to fit a carbon filter in there, I’ve got a huge one bigger than my waist here somewhere for my tent but I don’t use it because the area I’m in always stinks of bud and did way before I started growing so smell isn’t really a problem. Especially if I’m only having some seedlings in it and early veg, then I’ll move em to a veg tent I’ve recently acquired then from that to my flowering tent... hopefully start a perpetual grow, although how well that will end I’m not sure lmao

    This is everything I did start to finish on the bigger box and there's stuff on the smaller cab dotted about somewhere in the DIY section.
