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! ❤️☺️☺️☺️
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!
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.
It looks amazing. I am new to the whole greenhouse idea, but I think this looks great and I love how clean it looks. Thank you so much for the how to. Can't wait to start this journey.
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I’ve also struggled to find a good way to hide cords in cabinets, and the solution you showed is by far the best fit I’ve seen. Great tip! 🌟
I was looking for a video that explains more iin depth about how to construct the milsbo cabiniet. I would love to see a one month update (or longer) to see how things have been going. If you were able to get the humidity up to where you wanted it to be or any issues you ran into ect. Thank you for your video!
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!
This video was really helpful! I had a really hard time with this weather stripping product. The adhesive was so goopy and messy. Little hairs kept falling out and sticking to my hands.
I’ve been hemming and hawing about making an IKEA cabinet. I’m not the handiest person but THIS is what I’m going to use as my guide. You did a stunning job!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your hard work!!!!❤
I'm so confused I bought the same lights and magnets you linked and the metal clips that come with the grow lights do not stick to the magnets. Is this something you have heard of or am I stupid and missing something??? Love the video btw hehe
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
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!
It’s kind of hard to see how the magnets hold up your fans, for me anyway lol do you use the large disc magnets as well and how did you attack the magnets to the fans? Beautiful set up!
For the non barina lights, the ones that have their own timers, how did you connect them to outside timer? I find I can’t connect mine to timer cuz if I turn them off with outside timer they don’t turn back on unless I press their button
i think i’ve watched this video over 100 times. thank you for sharing your process! i was able to get mine built similarly-in black, of course-due to your video & links in the description. 🖤
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
Love this! I need to get some of that cable management for mine as that drive me nuts as well! I recently used some double sided tape to attach my power strip to the side of my cabinet to get it off the floor. Yours could probably easily go underneath there attached to the bottom. Good job, I love it!
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.
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.
Looks really great! You did a super job. Love how crisp and clean it looks. I’ve been wanting to do one myself and after seeing how yours came out I will give mine a go and try to do it like you did. Some people do them and they don’t try to hide cords. I love the clean look. Oh, is that a Philodendron Micans that’s hanging down the right side of the shelf ?
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!
Hi I bought those amazing shelves I used your code I'm in Australia so in the end I paid $400 it's been about 9 days and aside from a conformation email I've heard nothing was this your experience? Should I start panicing? Lol
Hello new sub in your channel thank u so much for this i have my milsbo since last year and it's have cord all over even me trying to hide it i want it to look nice and clean so thank u 💚💚💚
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.
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?
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?
Does anyone know if the Mosthink light strips can be set to come on automatically at the same time every day? They don’t seem to work with an external timer. 🤔 I may be overthinking this.
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.
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! 😅
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.
Thank you, I haven’t gotten a cabinet yet, but I want one, just doing a lot of research right now, I don’t know if I want to spend that much money, but I love my plants🪴🪴🪴🪴

Yes!! Me too, I watched a few and this was the best video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you!! 🫶🏻
Finally! A video that addresses cord management and clean visuals. Thank you really appreciate this! ❤🎉❤

Hands down, the BEST Ikea greenhouse hack video out there!!! Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, thank you!

I will absolutely work on an update!!
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!
How is this holding up? Starting mine this weekend and love the set up. Hoping it's working well
This was the best video I’ve seen on the topic… but I sure wish I could just pay you to come over and put it together for me!! 😩😩🙇🏻♀️😇
This video was really helpful! I had a really hard time with this weather stripping product. The adhesive was so goopy and messy. Little hairs kept falling out and sticking to my hands.
How did you get the lights with those built in timers to work with an outlet timer?
I’ve been hemming and hawing about making an IKEA cabinet. I’m not the handiest person but THIS is what I’m going to use as my guide. You did a stunning job!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your hard work!!!!❤
Thank you so much!!
Your cord management is excellent bust I've experienced
I'm so confused I bought the same lights and magnets you linked and the metal clips that come with the grow lights do not stick to the magnets. Is this something you have heard of or am I stupid and missing something??? Love the video btw hehe
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
Great job, I'm gonna follow your video❤
Beautiful job. Nice attention to the aesthetic issues.
Thank you so much!
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!
I love what you did: im going to try and mimic it. Looks so beautiful
Thanks for watching!
I think this is the prettiest setup I've seen so far :0 wow! so beautiful
Wow, thank you so much! 🙏🏻
What did your cart look like when checking out on modern aqua to get everything?
It’s beautiful
Samantha, this is beautiful!! Very informative video, so that we don’t make mistakes. I didn’t even have a cabinet on my radar, but now…for sure!
Thank you for the kind words!
This is by far the most beautiful ❤
Thank you
It looks very nice!
It’s kind of hard to see how the magnets hold up your fans, for me anyway lol do you use the large disc magnets as well and how did you attack the magnets to the fans? Beautiful set up!
Thank you for this video. I'm planning on making a greenhouse similar to yours and your video helped so much. Your setup is amazing
I just used all your links. Thank you so much. My wife is going to love this!! Your video was very helpful!!❤
Thank for your video. It’s really helpful.
Looks amazing but how did you attach magnets to to fan feet?
For the non barina lights, the ones that have their own timers, how did you connect them to outside timer? I find I can’t connect mine to timer cuz if I turn them off with outside timer they don’t turn back on unless I press their button
Definitely want to add a fan lower down for sure :) trust me I learned the hard way lol
For sure!
Very clean build 🤙🏼
I’m glad I’m not the only one
Thank you!!
Yeeesssss! 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌😍👌 looks so gooooood! I love it. Thank u for all rhe info 💓
Looks amazing!
I like you set it up. Looks neat!
i think i’ve watched this video over 100 times. thank you for sharing your process! i was able to get mine built similarly-in black, of course-due to your video & links in the description. 🖤
Yes I bought a three prong extension cord for the top light, it’s linked in the description 💚
Did you weatherproof the back of the cabinet.

Thanks so much for watching! So far it’s been staying around 70% rh so I may add some leca trays to set some plants on at the bottom
You did an awesome job! I’m picky about unsightly cords too! Looks beautiful
Love this! I need to get some of that cable management for mine as that drive me nuts as well! I recently used some double sided tape to attach my power strip to the side of my cabinet to get it off the floor. Yours could probably easily go underneath there attached to the bottom. Good job, I love it!
Yes that’s what I was thinking! I just do to do it 😅
great job!
Did it come with the acrylic backing and shelving?
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…
Did you put the “fuzzy stuff” on the other side as well or just that one side?
This looks amazing, Samantha! Thank you for sharing 🪴🪴🪴
Thank you for watching!
I Love this , I would love to have one🌱
💚
Do you have a suggestion on what video to watch for drilling the hole through a steel base? Thats the only part I'm worried about 😕
Plants with Krystal has one of these videos and she goes into drilling the hole more in depth
What thickness in the shelf would you recommend? 3/8" or 1/4"? what do you have in the video?
Wow looks great 🤩
Hi! What plant is sitting on top of your cabinet ? The leaves look red
Anyone know if it matters if you get the Yellow, White, or Pinkish White Barrina T5 grow lights? Are they really all full spectrum?
Beautiful job lol your picky like me, I couldn't enjoy my plants if it's a mess with cords every where....ocd 😂
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.
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.
I don't see a link for the back acrylic labels. Where did you get those? TIA
Do you have another discount code with ModernAqua. HPP5 is not valid anymore
I love it
Im looking at the Modern Aqua website and wondering what is the size of the pegboard that you bought? TIA 😁
Where do you get the shelves and corner ?
Looks really great! You did a super job. Love how crisp and clean it looks. I’ve been wanting to do one myself and after seeing how yours came out I will give mine a go and try to do it like you did. Some people do them and they don’t try to hide cords. I love the clean look. Oh, is that a Philodendron Micans that’s hanging down the right side of the shelf ?
thank you, and yes it is!
Does anyone know how many of the T5 2’ grow lights to use? Thanks! 😊
I used 2, one on the very top and one on the bottom shelf. Hope that helps!
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!
Yellow and then white for the mosthink
I need you to come to my house and do this!! Hide ALLLLL the cords!!
Haha I have so many clothes areas I could apply this to!
Hi I bought those amazing shelves I used your code I'm in Australia so in the end I paid $400 it's been about 9 days and aside from a conformation email I've heard nothing was this your experience? Should I start panicing? Lol
what did you use to drill the hole?
Hello new sub in your channel thank u so much for this i have my milsbo since last year and it's have cord all over even me trying to hide it i want it to look nice and clean so thank u 💚💚💚
So glad you found it helpful!
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?
My plant is to either weatherproof more or add some trays of leca to help with evaporation
@@houseplusplant thanks. I have trays of leca in 4 spots so hope extra weather proofing more will help
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.
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.
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
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?
Having anything electronic in there isn’t a great idea if you’re trying to keep your humidity high
Does anyone know if the Mosthink light strips can be set to come on automatically at the same time every day? They don’t seem to work with an external timer. 🤔 I may be overthinking this.
I leave mine on 24/7 because they don’t work with the external timer
What did you use to hide the cords? Can you please link it thank you
I have my complete list of supplies and their links in my video description.
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.
They seem to push the air fine!
what size thickness of shelving did you get?
3/8
So, the big question then : what did your humidity get to? Did you need to make any adjustments to get humidity to increase? If so what?
I did an update video! I ended up adding a leca tray. It stays between 70-80%
So beautiful, if you don’t mind me asking.. what was your total spent for this project?
She said just over $600!
Yes around $600 and that included the expensive Ikea shipping
@@houseplusplant you are amazing! Thank you so much
Hiya how thick is your shelf? 1/4, 3/8? Which
3/8”!
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! 😅
All the products are linked in the description below the video
@@houseplusplant I hAd found it sorry! Dude I got everything you have! So excited it's so classy, clean and pretty
OMG thank you, I've been looking for a vid like this, I'm SOOOO anal about seeing cords all over the place! THAAAANK YOU!
You kinda look like Caroline from The Vampire Diaries 😊
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.
No cords in sight 🤌🏼 yes
🙌🏻
Thank you, I haven’t gotten a cabinet yet, but I want one, just doing a lot of research right now, I don’t know if I want to spend that much money, but I love my plants🪴🪴🪴🪴
Thanks for the video!
Totally get it! It’s definitely an investment. You could always gather things over time then build it out
