So the story is... I cannot let anyone know I am growing, I have a detached garage that i keep my motorcycle in and the kids also keep bikes in.
My first challenge was building the grow cabinet without anyone saying "daddy whats that large box for with the bright lights" 
I have a rather large work bench that i built year ago that has a ton of space underneath, so this is the place i will build my box.
Let me make it clear"" Noah would never employ me, I am a crap carpenter, I cut the wood to fit and hate measuring lol.
lol, brilliant work mate, that's going to be a nice little stealth cabinet!
Aslong as you have some intake coming from somewhere mate, youre good to ape up the edges. you have to make sure no light leaks..... unless you want to grow autos in there?
Thanks m8, Yes going to be auto's to start off. Then search for a strain for an uplifting high not a couch lock.
Tonight I work on taping the corners and jigsawing the inlet for air in veg floor.
Can I post links?
yes I can Thanks Percy lol, saw this page and thought you might be interested in those 😉
Nice, thanks m8
Good prices also
Sweet man, let me know what you choose!
I have 3 ak47 auto from royal seeds that I will try first, i also have a pack of 18 year old power plant and a pack of adventure mix I doubt they will pop but worth a try.

give them an extra long soak before paper towels mate, theyll pop 😉 The shell gets harder as they get older, hopefully therye still viable 18 years old! old school lol
so lads i've run into a issue, i have a silent fan (connected to carbon filter) that i cannot hear running when my lights turn on, but give it an hour and i can hear a slight wind type noise, any ideas why it only starts after awhile? Still really quiet but not as quiet when first on

Any sensors on it? Maybe it's getting warmer and speeding up because of it? Strange one mate lol. AND knows his electrics, maye he knows....
So youll be ready soon! better get some seeds popped mate lol
will do m8, just waiting for shrooms to finish and get dried as i microdose them, then start grow

Highly possible its heat related as everything gets bigger when it get warmer, apart from Ice cubes, lol
I would guess at fan blades or bearings, what type of fan is it ?

Also I swear by the combi ducting. Works great on my 8" extractor.

Will Check when home
Oh btw the grow box is finished other than the sliding drawer fitting, just need to screw it down and add base where plants will sit.
oh one other question, my grow is 2x2x4 with 260w led quantum board and screw in led, should i pop a few autos or just focus on one.
Depends on the auto, with some topping and training you'll get two in there I think mate

You're running 260w of qb in a 60x60 cm tent ?
That's a hella lot of light
Is it dimmable ?
I have a 120w quantum board (dimmable) and I have 140w screw in led also.You think this is to much?
I can reduce the screw in by 20watts each bulb I remove.
What do u reckon is optimal for 60x60x100 space?
What do u reckon is optimal for 60x60x100 space?
Yeah the qb alone will be perfect mate. I'm using 90w atm in a larger space. The QBS light can be intense.
Which driver do you have on the qb ?
The m8, it's a HLG-120-c1050b.
Thanks for reply
Just got delivered today, and they sent the c1050a. I guess I cannot dim this one...

Damn, that was fast! lol
It says I can adjust voltage by removing grommet. Do these things get really hot? Easier in grow box than outside to hide it

Yeah under that grommet there's a small screw. Adjust the screw to dim the light. Will need a watt meter to get accurate measurement.
I would recommend getting it all built and put the driver where you want it then monitor temps for 24 hrs. If you put it in the box and it's too hot take it out.
I tend to move mine. In the summer I have all drivers outside my room and I have a fan blowing on them but i the winter when i need heat i put them back in the room to help out:)
Ivean has recommended to me before mate, that between 30 and 35 w per square foot is good for LED lights, so about 120-140 w with a QB

Cool I just need to get a dimmer for it, can I use a standard light dimmer?

Nope
You need to get a 100k ohm mono potentiometer.
