HOW TO BUILD
EKET - 2020 EDITION
Welcome to the website guide of the Eket V2 build video guide.
With two separate chambers this build can do continuous supply in a very small package.
This guide is done with a small and a big eket, but you could do it with two large ones to allow longer vegging, in this case you can do the second eket for vegging with just 2 panels instead of 4.
The normal power usage for this build is below 50w total, which means less than $5/month for veg (4€) and $3/month in bloom (3€).
The new cardboard compression chamber of the blower allows for a quieter build and makes the carbon filter setup much simpler.

We know how satisfying it is to tear open boxes but you’ll need the cardboard from both boxes for the build so take a deep breath and open them properly.

Read the manual and follow the instructions; you got this!
See you at the next step for some drilling :)
Drill 2 cable management holes

Make two large holes with the drill on the back side in both top corners.
It's simpler to take care of the cable holes before doing the rest.
The sensor has the biggest connector of the bunch so drill accordingly.
As you’ll notice this guide doesn’t follow the same order as the video; simply because we used the editing experience to improve the guide even more.

This is actually one of the most important part of this build, the main problem being to be able to place the led panels diagonally in the box, so the plant has more room to grow.
Another advantage of this way of doing, is that the cardboard structure exposes the back of the panels inside the cardboard tubes, instead of directly in the box, which helps evacuating hot air directly to the top of the box, without spreading to the rest of the box.
