Ok, but seriously, I’m proud of that hole and figuring out the hole saw in this one 😂 I love my cabinet so much more now.

That’s so exciting for you! I was a new mom this spring too!! Remember someone has to watch over them while away from home, it’s like having pets! Lol I’m blessed I found a plant lady that does vacay care while we’re gone to Hawaii to get married! 40$/hr! Should be under 160$ for the trip with 100 plants I think!

@debbiethomas3687 5 ай бұрын

Seeing you google how to use a hole saw made me laugh because that's exactly what I had to do. My set came with no instructions and I had no idea how to attach it to the drill. Trouble is, my memory is so bad that I'll have to google it again if I need to drill another hole. I have fully fitting safety goggles that I bought to use with my garden shredder. They are great for this sort of thing, and for using alcohol inks, but they get mostly when I'm chopping onions because they save so much pain and tears. You need fans in an enclosure but they help to reduce the humidity - as I know from my terrariums - and it can be tricky to get right. I love what you've done with the cabinet though, it looks fabulous. Now going shopping for a light meter. 😁

Your excitement is so cute! I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets silly about this kind of stuff. I wish I had another room to devote to my plants. I have a craft room (9'x10') but that's not even big enough for the craft stuff, so I can only have a few plants in there with me. My dining room is the main plant space because the double "east" facing window. It's a disaster right now due to battling thrips :(

Anyone who gets the rudsta wide (I think here is a rudsta tall) you don't need to drill a hole there's a gap in the top where the cords fit if you place them before closing the bar. Just an fyi. Also I never used humidifier in mine and my plants have been fine. But I don't have anything too picky I don't think.

I recently drilled a ho-le in a cabinet and I had a similar experience with it taking forever. That ho-le just would not finish. Btw, instead of hand turning the loosener/tightener (yeah nobody taught me the words either) you can push the little button to reverse the direction of the drill, and power the drill, while holding onto the loosener/tightener thingy, and it will loosen or tighten faster with the power coming from the drill.

The only reasons, I can think of, that took you so long to cut the hole are wrong hole saw for metal and should of used a little cutting oil to keep the bit cool. However, you got it cut, and that's all that matters. I love your enthusiasm and videos. Keep it up❤!!!

What I have learned from the comment section from another youtuber who used a hole saw (haha) was that corded drills are much stronger and go through quicker! So, it's not you, it's your drill.

Is mid 80s for humidity too high for a grow cabinet? My usually fluctuates between 85 and mid 90s if I leave it sealed up, so I usually tend to crack the zippers open about 30% on each side to let of the moisture out.

All my attempts so far had failled and I know I'm not the only one. Also it would be great to knows which plants are better grown in water, which plants are not ect.
