    Default Converting a new cupboard

    Bit bored so got the idea to replace my current cupboard. Going for one a bit taller and a few cm less width.

    I intend on squeezing in a vegging area, a flowering area, the fan, filter and x2 5 litre jerry cans with pumps for auto feeding. Flowering section will have a drain to outside so its just the vegging area ill keep an eye on... I'll use a deep runoff tray for that.

    Will have the flowering area in the top half so its intake will be via a vent in the veg area above the lights. I only run autos so the lights not an issue. Hoping the veg lights help lower humidity as its not ideal to intake from the veg area, however I don't have the space to split the extraction ducting so the veg air will have to go via the flower room. Will be sucking air out from the flowering area and blowing it thru the filter which will be enclosed next to a vent to outside. Using rectangular ducting as its too tight for a 100mm duct running up the though the flowering area floor as the plant tray will cover most of the area. Should have just enough space in front of that stuff to put the watering jugs on shelves. Going to lower the base of the wardrobe to give an extra 12 or 13 cm.

    Just the lights, fan, drain hose and filter I think. Bought some hardboard and strip wood for partitions and hopefully inner doors too

    "however I don't have the space to split the extraction ducting so the veg air will have to go via the flower room."

    Although if I sacrifice a bit more space at the lower back of the flowering section I could use one fan to extract from both areas using rectangular bits against the back wall. Lose 6cm depth near the pots but I think that won't matter.

    Tight squeeze... kink in the flex ducting was annoying but I need the rectangle to be flush with the back wall else the plant tray will cover it.

    I love doing em mate. Shame to retire the old wardrobe as there was nothing wrong with it but this one means I can have it all in one corner and do away with my old veg cabinet which was an epoxy experiment gone wrong so bugs me to see it lol

    Ordered the plastics above plus a few clips and a length of straight ducting to join the pieces. Should look better than duct tape I hope. Annoying having to wait for delivery but can't be helped. Should arrive by Wednesday or Thursday and then I can cut the gaps where needed. Trying to find something else to do in the meantime but everything builds off the shelf and I can't secure that without having cut it.

    Awesome. Always wanted to build one of these to be stealth but I couldn't get past the ease of a small tent. Good work!

    Got the partition in which leaves me 44cm width for the vegging area which I can have x2 plants in as long as I get em into the flowering area by day 45ish. Waiting on mylar and ducting still. Next challenge is making internal doors for the sections. Just to help with lightproofing and noise reduction. Gonna be fun mounting em to avoid the main cupboard doors and hinges
