Thanks for the tips. That’s the direction I thought you where going and it makes sense. I’ll probably stick with the arduino just to learn but keep it simple.

I cant wait to see what you do with the new cabinets!

looks good are you still using solstrips ?

i will be, at least for one side thinking’s im just gonna run 3 strips though 5 would possibly be more ideal, but i might try something else with them :wink: just to be nerdy with efficiencies.

Also have a side project on the go too, Jelly is to blame on this one… But not gonna say more till its closer to being done.

Only effective in the top 1/3 to 1/2 is my take, and have to consider that you need a air gap just like your top lights, as once a plant grow into it, its not effective anymore.

Got airholes in and the carbon filter chamber, was gonna do a push through filter but this equalizes things easier.

Now onto lights, reflective panels and getting this this up and running.

Bashed out the base wiring quick and dirty like and made a light bracket and got one side fired up, the other side will get a slightly different light treatment but need to order some parts for that and its gonna take awhile.

Which gives a reason to start some seeds DDf2’s from 2 different plants that i’ll be looking for one to reverse.

Now i can tinker and get all the smaller things done such as neater wiring, voltage circuit for the pumps and controls for them, circulation fan mounting, sealing up everything light and air wise, getting some more reflective panels made up, and getting some tot loks mounted for the doors.

Finished the other panels and redid the back and wall for the smoother side of the cardboard, still should do the roof, but i may just tape or directly foil that.

On to locks “tot loks”, fan mounting and figuring out what i want to do control wise for watering control… thinking now i may mount them on the hinge tab…

Threw the reservoirs and pots/cups in to give a go at how it will look somewhat.
