Converted bookshelf grow box, help??
Hey guys, first post on the forums for me! I'm a relatively new grower and live in an apartment complex, therefore I am seeking methods for discretion. I have been tooling around with an idea of converting an old bookshelf to a grow box. The exact dimensions of the bookshelf with the inner shelves removed (aside from the top to allow for light mounting) is 34"H x 16"W x 11"D. The wood is quite heavy and the bookcase is solid. Do you think this is a feasible project? I was thinking of placing 3 floro fixtures in the box for a total of 6 40W bulbs (24" vertical) for the vegetative state and maybe using these lights for the generative state as well? I have a seperate unit for pre vegetative. If necessary I can buy a small 75W sodium high pressure lamp and install it on the bottom of the top shelf I have left intact, do you think this is a necessary step for this box and if so, will it fit?? I plan on installing 3 120mm computer fans on the top area of the box and equal sized vent holes toward the bottom. I am also going to attach a power strip and I have a wall mountable humidity and temperature gauge. So I guess my general questions are: what can I do to improve this setup if infact it is feasible AND what is my potential yield under optimum conditions? The two strains I have purchased are Hawaii Maui Waui and Dutch Dragon. Thanks alot in advance guys!!
