  • CORD MANAGEMENT is the game, and I was determined to do my best. 😂 To some the cords may not be a big deal, but to me--let's just say I put SO much time into figuring out how to hide them that I feel like a pro! 🤪

    This was the absolute best training video yet. I love how you listed all the items needed. I haven’t done anything to the inside of my cabinet, just the clear gloss enamel to protect against Rust. But, I’m ready to change the shelving and wall panels I’ve purchased. Yours look great. Thanks so much for sharing.

    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! ❤️☺️☺️☺️

    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

    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

    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?

      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.

    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?
