Hi folks,

I'm planning my new growdrobe and would like some advice from you fine folks here at AFN. I need it to be as silent and discreet as possible as it's going to be in the guest room (rarely used)

Here's my plans.

1 x IKEA Dombas wardrobe - L = 140cm W = 51cm H = 181

Lights

1 x 135w HLG QB V2

Environmental control

1 x 4 inch RUCK fan (intake and circulation)

1 x 4 inch Systemair DiffuseAir (to replace circulation fans)

1 x 4 inch acoustic box fan (extract) (unsure which model yet)

1 x 4 inch Rhino carbon filter (blowing into)

1 / 2 x fan controller (undecided)

4 inch combi ducting

1 x 4 inch spigot

Plan of action

Double wardrobe will be used as the main growing area for 1 plant at a time.

Intake will come in from top left

ducting --> Ruck fan --> diffuseair

Extraction will be on the top right hand side of double wardrobe.

Acoustic box fan --> ducting --> carbon filter

A four inch hole will be drilled in to the top shelf of the single wardrobe where I will house the carbon filter. Holes will be drilled out of the top and/or sides of this section to allow the air to escape.

The lower shelf in the single wardrobe will eventually be used as a veg chamber.

I'll ask the better half of she can do a little mock up for me on the computer and I'll post the plans here.

So what do you all think of my plans? Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'll tag a few in who have helped me out to get started @Mañ'O'Green @davisgirl @bushmasterar15 @MedCzech @Bailey @Mossy

Cheers

Sounds pretty good to me. Good air flow will be key in this small space. Vertical vents on the interior to allow air to move around the interior of the cabinet will be necessary. If there are shelves, I would think about replacing them with metal or plastic racks. This will make seeing things in the cabinet much easier. Shelving blocks light, air, and makes places for crap to build up over time.

Home Depot should offer something that would work.
 
@MedCzech Thanks mate. The shelving is needed to block the light (can't have any light bleeding out the holes in the CF chamber). There will only be one shelf in the smaller side of the wardrobe to section it off. Top will be for carbon filter and bottom for veg chamber eventually. I'll get a drawing posted asap. You should have little read about the diffuseair, it's supposed to create perfect airflow in the whole grow area.

@Bailey Thanks bud. Glad to know that I come up with decent ideas sometimes. :crying:

I think the whole idea will work for sure man. Sounds like to have the air flow sorted. Sounds so simple, burn that is the main reason cabinet grows fail otherwise too much light is also as, but the board will be easy to control, so no worries there.

Rock and roll baby! Get this thing going and let's put some nice plant in there, I am very impatient.
 
@AutoWonders Thanks for the suggestion. I probably should have mentioned I'm in the UK and can't find that over here.

Anyone used a fantronix 3.5amp Variac? Would I be able to run both fans off it or do I need 1 each?

Also seen a ram air 2 twin controller that automatically controls both fans based on temperature and pressure.

@davisgirl I'll be sure to pick them up. Anymore useful suggestions?:crying:

I'll be sure to tag you in my next grow.

HSO asked awhile ago if I would do a diary for their section so I'm thinking about taking them up in their offer. Maybe do Blue Dream again or possibly the Lost Coast Skunk... I wonder if they have any tester beans they'd like documented? I might ask.
