    I really like it. Makes me think you veg a lot lol. I'm having friends that are just hitting the point in their lives that they have to hide it from their kids also.

    Its just easier to do it like this but my only problem with it is because its in the build in wordrobe there's no fresh air getting in so need to find a way to vent out and in. My temps are hitting 30c

    The cabinet looks great but airflow looks wrong, is the fan blowing air in the cabinet or pulling it out ?
    hot air should always be pulled out of the top of a cabinet (causes a vacuum to keep door shut, reduce light leak) (the backs best because you can hide it with overlap back )

    and pull cool air in from the bottom(low as you can) you can even cut the inside shelf 1" too small so the air pulls up the inside towards the back

    Hi pal I've made a mistake I've put the fan blowing in on the plants and at the top just an air vent so when the box is closed it pushes warm air out well that was the theory but because it's in the wardrobe its just circulating the same air so i need to get some fresh air in there. The only way to do that is through the roof into the loft but i borded all that out. And with the kids been off school i don't want them asking questions.

    Hi Fluffy,
    Not sure what led your using but seedling/small veg box does not need much light, my veg box has 4 x t5 tubes and uses less than 40 watts
    does a great job on plants up to 8" tall.

    Can you control how many tubes turn on at any time,
    because you can start a few seedling off under one tube and as they grow, you turn more tubes on, larger they get the more light they need and they can handle more heat (max 34c)

    what the temp 3-4" under the tube in the centre ?

    If your using the propagator, you need to check the temps in there halfway up and place the to 2" under the tubes.
    You could find the temps going to be over 35c and you will kill and seedling you put in there.

    This is the temp at minute. i had the lid on for the proppergator but temps when to about 35c and humidity 98 so taken the lid off. I plan on potting them up later because there in 4" rockwool at the moment.
