Here's the stuff I used in the cabinet (may contain affiliate links)
Cabinet (Rudsta wide): www.ikea.com/us/en/p/rudsta-g...
Sphagnum moss : amzn.to/3RTK7vZ
Coco Chips : amzn.to/45P0Bez
Silicone : amzn.to/3RQtyRC
Mineral Spirits : amzn.to/3RVJjGG
Spray Foam : amzn.to/3RVJjGG
Moss Sheets : Gotta double check; they might not sell the one I got anymore
Cork : idk, I've just had it around since forever
Plant Felt : I also forget where I got it tbh; saw it on another guy's video. It's NOT florafelt though.
Pump : amzn.to/3zxjYg3 (It's aight. Kind of loud af)
Drip Emitters : amzn.to/4cRiXOp (Mine are 2gph ones though; they seem to have changed the listing. They're all kind of the same though)
Plumbing Fittings : amzn.to/3XTTakb
2' Lights (this cabinet): amzn.to/4bBg3Mu
4' lights I also use: amzn.to/4buWs0o
Magnetic Clips for light : I'll make a link to sell the things eventually.
Leca : might have also ordered from josh's but it's been sitting in a bucket in my basement for years so I finally used it up lol.
Art because people always ask :
There's a Beefby in a cloche from Ikea, the skull was one of the first 3d prints I did and the art is just random postcards from redbubble that I get because I want small art but am cheap and don't want to pay for real prints lol.

Yo! I feel like I saw your setup in a Reddit comment section. You explained how people were always super interested in the setup,, it’s really cool to see it like this! Definitely putting making one of these enclosures on my bucket list.

@@timothyflowers I made the video specifically because Reddit folk were asking lol. It was a good excuse to get off my butt and actually put a quick video together lol. I’m planning on building a whole weird basement hydroponic setup too 😂

Thanks for the tour. It looks great

I saw your post on the reedit, great video. Im in progress to creat my first ikea greenhouse and my only consern is what growing lights use since i wanna add some begonias and they need up to 85%-95% humidity and i dont wanna start a fire lol. Are the barrina light waterprof? Did you had any problems with the growing lights in all this year? Thanks!😊

[@grumpyalison4869]

They're not *technically* waterproof but i've... spilled water on them many times and haven't had an issue... Not that I'd recommend dousing them, but they've been very reliable and hard wearing for me.
