Got the tinker spirit? Why not transform a piece of furniture into a growbox?
Cabinets are a good choice for stealth growers or growers who want their grow space to match with the room's furniture.
This type of grow space is the proof that you can grow out of anything.
PRO TIP: flat white reflects light very well, no need for Mylar like you would with colored furniture.
You can also choose to make a DIY grow box and build you own grow space with a skeleton (usually a PVC structure) and reflective walls.
PROS
PROS
- Customizable / Tailored
You can design your box the way you want and choose the furniture that fits your needs (any size, shape or material) - Stealth
This option is probably the stealthiest as it will perfectly match with your other furniture and won't look out of place. - Cheap
Cabinets grow boxes are mostly cheaper than grow tents as you can turn any of your furniture into a grow space. This is a good choice for growers on a budget.
CONS
CONS
- Harder to control environment / air circulation
You will need to provide a good airflow / air circulation by drilling ventilation holes. You'll also need to add a carbon filter to your box to keep this dank smell inside. - Need to be lightproof and sealed
Cabinets are great but you must make sure your box is lightproof, waterproof and airtight to prevent any undesired leaks. - You'll need time and tools
This option require to build the box buy yourself, if you want a ready to use grow box we recommend looking for grow tents.
Even though building a cabinets is easy and not as annoying as it seems, just check our guide on how to build the Swedish grow box ;)

Guides to see next
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.
