I've had the fun of taking this cabinet from my brain and lamely making this diagram, figuring all the math needed to give the grow cabinet it's best thought up design. My first ever design!! Gimme your thoughts?!
72" x 24" x "72 or 6ft × 2ft x 6ft
(W x D x H) stand will be assembled with 2x2 framing lumber and ply wood.
Grow space broken down.
Avg 5 gallon pail 18" tall
..added to..
36" grow space ~ 3 ft
As well as.....
Combined avg 12" for plug in socket, adapter and bulb with reflector.
For a combined height of 72" ~ 6 ft
Width.. The total of 4 pails is avg 44" wide. I decided upon 72". That only leaves a combined total of 28" left over with 4 pails in place....
that's an average of 5.5cm between pails (or pails to the walls)
Depth is 24" your pail is 11"
Minus your pail depth, leaving 13 inches of left over depth space.. Allowing an average of 6.5 cm extra grow room on the front and back of the cabinet.
I decided to put each light on it's own rail track with a bracket so each pail has it's own adjustable hanging light (not all plants grow the same)
2 clamp fans on "L" brackets at the top center of the sides.
Finishing it off with a set of custom made doors. 35" inches per door.
..
..
It will be painted a flat white to reflect the light around.
..
I will be putting 2x 6500 lumen bulbs for each plant to start and increasing from there if needed. (With 3 way light splitter)
This grow cabinet is designed to grow an indoor vegetable garden.
Please comment on whether you think this set up would work?? Thanks, E.M!
