I am COMPLETELY new to indoor greenhouses, and you just saved me HOURS of time researching all of this stuff. Thank you for this very comprehensive guide and resources. The only thing that would make it better is an accompanying blog. Your cabinet is beautiful!

Not only was your cabinet the best looking cabinet of all the videos I watched for this project, but it was also the most thorough. I'm so glad you addressed the cord situation because I feel like that's the problem everyone runs into the most but no one really shows the mapping of it. Thank you so much! This helped me tremendously! ❤️☺️☺️☺️

I’m so happy it was helpful! How’s your cabinet journey going?

This is so helpful! Unfortunately i already put my cabinet together but I haven't put the shelves in yet so I'm going to drill a hole tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Best looking Ikea cabinet set up I've seen yet. So clean and can actually see the plants versus ugly peg board, cords etc. It's actually being used for what it was created for which is to "display" plants. Love it!

Nice build. I appreciate your attention to detail. First time I've seen that door seal with overlap - Elegant solution. Congrats on your beautiful cabinet!

Thank you for your video. It’s my birthday today and we went to ikea, got the milsbo, building it now, and ordering off amazon. Thank you for spreading the knowledge

Hi!! Thank you so much for this helpful video! You are literally the only person that I’ve seen who is as particular about wire management as I am and I am so excited to have found your channel (and your ig)!!! I have 3 milsbo tall greenhouse cabinets (only 2 are set up at this time), and I am definitely going to be buying those cord covers. I’ve managed to hide my cords pretty well, but adding the covers will make my cabinets look perfect! There is nothing more distracting imo than cords left dangling in these greenhouse cabinets! I also made the mistake of buying the monios-L t8 lights instead of the barrina t5’s and have had to temporarily remove most of my plants to keep them from burning, until I have the time to order &install the t5’s. The plus side of that mistake is that I won’t have a cabinet full of plants to remove in order to switch the lights out and manage the cables:) I decided to go with clear acrylic shelves as well, and instead of humidifiers, I have clear acrylic automatic cat waterers; they work really well for me! I’m definitely going to be following along to see how your plants do without added humidity- I would love to remove the waterers I have and to use that extra space for more plants. Thanks again for sharing your setup and for the product links! Xx -Nora

What thickness in the shelf would you recommend? 3/8" or 1/4"? what do you have in the video?

Did you put the “fuzzy stuff” on the other side as well or just that one side?

How did you get the lights with those built in timers to work with an outlet timer?

Hi! I am loving your set up and the cord management. I didn't even think about that being an issue. I'm picking up my cabinet tomorrow from Ikea and getting my Amazon order together. On the fans you used, the white ones seem to have a black cord in the picture...but I couldn't see it at all in your video. I was curious if they actually came with a white cord or if that was because of the cord cover?

late reply but i think she used a seperate longer USB cable for the fans that was white

Love this video. I can’t stand cables showing either. I also want to install my fans on top like you did. Can you tell me how the air flow is? Mine is a wide milsbo but wanted to add two black fans at top.

@scottshrum4119

Жыл бұрын

Any issue with your fans mounted to the top? I mounted the same as you did and it doesn’t seem to blow air downward. It seems to blow out the sides. I’m thinking it needs more of a gap between the fan and the top of the cabinet.

This was an amazingly timed video for me! I just found your page on IG yesterday and then noticed your post about coming to see this video! I JUST ordered the Milsbo cabinet last night, so I’m thrilled to see your tips! What is the reason for not wanting to have a humidifier in there? (Im not sure that I’ll be able to avoid having one since I live in Arizona and the cabinet will be in a large room that’s open to the second floor.) Is it damaging to the cabinet or the plants?

Hi! What plant is sitting on top of your cabinet ? The leaves look red

what did you use to drill the hole?

Would have loved the total price, to know if this is a reasonable project I can start right now also didn’t see how you installed the corner shelves…

Hi! The barrina grow light on Amazon comes in white or yellow. Which did you use for yours? The mosthink led lights as welcome in purple or white light which the newer version having options (full spectrum, purple, and red blue. Please let me know! Thanks!

Looks great. I’m interested in how you keep humidity up. I have pretty much same set up and overnight humidity goes up to 70-80%. Once lights go on in morning the humidity goes down to in the 50’s. Any thoughts?

I don't have a milsbo cabinet I want to get one maybe two but they have changed the looks of the cabinet now. It no longer has glass to the back wall of the cabinet.

What did your cart look like when checking out on modern aqua to get everything?

Are you able to confirm if you all got the shelves for the Milsbo? I went on the site and there’s wide, upper, etc.

So beautiful!! Is there a link to the accessories you used? Was gonna get black but now I want white! Doing this for my daughter too when she gets her apartment after college! I messaged you a question on insta. She's at UNL now. Need some info from you besides plants! 😅

You don’t find there’s an issue with airflow with the fans being so close/flat to the top of the cabinet. I’ve always seen it suggested they sit out a bit from any glass or metal panels.

Hello. Beautiful cabinet. How did you use the T5 extension cords, 9ft extension cords. I ordered the acrylic shelves with your discount code thank you for that. Hope you can answer my question. Love your Instagram channel as well.

You need to space your fans off the top. They won't flow much air as they are. If there was 6" of space behind them they'd flow so much more air
