I have an old oak cabinet in my garage I would like to convert into a stealth grow. I am in the process of cleaning, sealing cracks, and painting the inside flat white. I will be adding magnetic door latches and some rubber seals for light/smell mitigation. There is no middle divider.

Inside Dimensions: 20" deep, 22" tall, 72" wide.

Dropping 2x 5 gallon sip buckets through the floor so I will have almost all of the 22" from floor to ceiling.

Adding 2x 4" passive air inlets through the bottom floor as well with some duct flanges and flexible dryer ducting.

Purchasing an AC Infinity 4" vent/filter combo kit and an internal fan for air circulation.

I just can't settle on a light(s). I think I need something low profile so I can maximize the internal space. I have been so close to pulling the trigger on a SuperGreenLab Ninja Bundle but I don't know if it is enough power. I have also considered the SpiderFarmer SF1000 2 Pack or an 8 pack of the SpiderFarmer Light Bars.

The plan is to grow autos and or photos in both buckets with a screen of green from seed to harvest in one setup. I do have another box I plan to convert to a flower tent down the road but not for at least a year or so. I want to start with this setup first and make sure it works to me and then expand. I am not looking for maximum extreme harvest. I am just growing for personal use and my state allows for personal growing.

Any and all help and opinions would be greatly appreciated. It should be noted that the garage is not temp controlled and I live in growing zone 6B. I plan to grow in the cabinet year round.

First of all, huge shout out to the designers and developers of this product. Incredible Stoner Engineering. I just found this product and I am super excited to try my first build.

I am looking for some suggestion/ideas on two builds for micro grows. I am attaching some photos of the two boxes. The plan is for two grows at the same time seed to harvest but have also considered the continuous grow with veg in one and flower in the other.

Do I need two of the Ninja Bundles?

Are there any add ons that I need to buy? I definitely need odor mitigation.

Anyone have a suggestion on medium?

Size and shape of container?

Lastly, I see there was a 4/20 sale. Any idea if there’s any sales coming up?

Issue: Last week we experienced an intense popup shower and I discovered the downspout/drain was backed up. I disconnected the downspout and discovered the elbow is no longer connected to the drain that runs under my concrete pad and connects to another downspout. Gravel and mulch totally clogged the drain but I was able to flush line and get all of the gravel and debris that had built up. The only explanation I can think of is the concrete pad and walk way settled in some spots and dislodged the connection.

I am no longer able to get the connection from the downspout to the elbow because the PVC drain has shifted just enough to block the lip. See photos.

What are my options? Should I try an offset adapter? Or maybe a flexible coupler? I’ve considered just capping it and putting a rain barrel there along with a plastic flex drain into the flower bed.
