Welcome to the website guide of the Eket V4 build video guide.
This new edition introduces the use of the new LED rail holders.

The normal power usage for this build is below 35w total, which means less than $5/month for veg (4) and $3/month in bloom (3).

With a singled Ninja Bundle you can do 2 of these Ekets, in this case best is to do the setups with 3 panels per boxes, and take a low profile holder to attach a third LED at the top of the box.

Remove the door of the Eket if needed

Done

If the Eket is already assembled, we'll have to remove the door, because the way the hinge is made on the Eket makes it nearly impossible to light seal the Eket.

 

The easiest way to remove the door is to push the bottom towards the back, this will release the door.

 

Once the bottom removed, you can easily remove the door.

 

Remove the hinges from the door.

Prepare the blower

Prepare the blower

Done

Most of the noise from your blower will come from its vibration against the furniture.

 

Best way to mitigate this vibration noise is to add some vibration insulation on the blower.

 

Place some insulation gasket on the surface of the blower that will be in contact with the furniture.

Mark the blower's position

Done

Now place the blower in the position you're planning to place it, and mark the position of the blower's outtake.

 

Note that the blower should be placed at the top of the box, where the hot air will go.

Tape the blower in place

Done

Now let's tape the blower in place. Using tape instead of screws makes the link between the blower and the furniture flexible, which will also help with absorbing part of the vibration from the blower.

Make the intake hole

Done

Now that our outtake blower is in place, we need to make the intake hole.

 

The intake hole should be at least as big as the outtake hole. And should be at the opposite side of the blower.

 

You can add any filter foam to prevent dust from getting in.

Install the sensor

Done

Place you sensor roughly at the center of the back panel. This will be a good position as no LED panel will be directly pointed at it. Keep in mind direct light will highly impact the temperature reading, so make sure you don't place it under direct light.

Add plastic profiles around the door

Done

Now let's do the door!

 

In order to make light sealing much easier, we'll add some plastic profile all around the door frame.

 

This way we'll just have to push the door in place to close and seal the box from outside lighting.
