You got a good wife ...
She has her moments.
You put a bug in my ear on the home made cabinet. Not much stealth in a tent. Most come with a logo of some kind refering to growing. Since my girls are not going to be monsters this time even with the LED, I have time so am rethinking the tent. I've had some Ideas for a double walled cab with built in odor control that are eating at me to build a prototype.

How tall is your space ? Briefly set your light on a hard surface and turn it on and see how much light leaks out through the vents ... I'm thinking that putting a light outside a cab but attached to the top would serve all sorts of purposes ... ie. Heat control; height issues; being able to move the pot down instead of up helps to get the grower off the floor ... I want to build a cab out of 1/4" Masonite ... most of the cuts would be done by Home Depot or Lowes for free ...
Its lighter than wood. Not bad, But you will have to brace it more. It isn't as sturdy so the frame will be the load bearer.
Channeled corners, routered or cut with a dado blade so the panels slide in then caulked or hot glued. My cab now is 5'. not enough.
You could screw or nail it conventionally to a frame, but then you have the frame inside taking space, Channeled puts as much of the bracing outside as you want. 2"x 2" stock would work nicely. I want hollow walls to put ducts that hold activated charcoal with the draw fan under a sub floor

"Channeled corners, routered or cut with a dado blade so the panels slide in then caulked or hot glued" ... next you'll want to stain and wax it ... or fill the walls w/ charcoal ...

Just 5'
If you are talking the masonite for yours, the brown stuff thats smooth on one side and grainy on the other, we called it "Beaver Board" when I was building ranch houses using it for interior walls in Belize and its pretty flimsy. I was just thinking the best way to assemble it. But yeah just nail it.
I tend to ramble when stoned.
Not fill, But have ducts within the walls with chambers filled with activated charcoal changed through access panels. the fan under the floor out of sight drawing through vents in the inside and exhausting out the back. All it is is eliminating the can filter and integrating it into the walls out of sight. That for mine, the carpentry was about yours.

I do tend to ramble when highly medicated. Mine will just have the filter built into the walls. out of the way.
The draw fan under a raised floor venting out the back. Quieter than hanging inside.
Masonite is the brown Pressed board right? Smooth on one side, grainy on the back? its good stuff but not real strong. Look at dressers that have it in the back and you will see that its a covering that adds little strength. Usually in channels or just stapled on.
It will do the job.

One type of Masonite has shiny white on one side ... I use 2x4 sheets of it as portable reflectors ... at least as stiff as any fabric tent ... your idea sounds like a high tech grow box ... I was thinking slightly less complex ... a cardboard box w/ slightly stiffer walls ...
I'm just familiar with the brown we call Beaver board. It'll work just fine.
Do you know if there are diagrams anywhere of what individual leds make up the Mars Hydro arrays?. Each of my three panels has 1 that appears almost dead, but looks like it could be IR which Tina said isn't on board.
