Lightbulb Mr. Rizzo's Stealth Scrog Box....

Hey Y'all.... IamRizzo.....

I was on overgrow a long time ago n saw this stealth box arond a TV box. I have never actually had time or space to grow. I have now finished building my box it is 20" X 20" inside. I am using soil since everything else seems real complicated for my first time. I have two computer fans on the front door spaced out at the top n vents at the back of the box along the bottom. I also have a fan setup within the box for constant air movement.

I will be takin pictures n postin em dis weeknd......

First question..... I was thinkin bout 2 plants but I tink I should atleast have 3 since my box is only 19" high n I would like to fill to 20 X 20 screen....

Second question I am 90% sure of.... I am goin to splurge n get a 250W HPS red spec light for flowering n get two 18" floruos to veg and train the plant into the screen.... Right???

Any help or suggestions would be great......


Thanks for readin my blurb I hope u can tell wut I mean..... Like I said though pics on da way.....

-Mr. Rizzo

That sounds pretty good man, the pics will really do justice though, but from what you have listed everything sounds good. Make sure you have a hole at the top of the box and the bottom of the box for ventillation purposes, as well as having a fan at the top hole sucking out the hot air, the hole at the bottom of the box will be bringing in cool fresh air for your plants to benefit off of.

Sounds good! 19" high celling might be a little low for 250w because you need about 8" or more between the bulb and plant and 6" or more from soil to canopy.

Also, it's pretty handy to attach the screen to each potted plant so you can turn them around and stuff, instead of 1 big screen. I included a picture I got from good ol' OG. This is the picture I modeled mine after.

From my experience, don't get too attached to your first design. You'll learn a lot by doing it and seeing what works and what doesn't. I think it's a real fun hobby!

Very Sweet!!!! Now you have a box that'll last for years and be custom fit for ya!

Yes, I get my fluoeresents (can't spell that word!) an inch or 2 away. That might be a better fit for that box. My screens are about 10" sq, too. They work for me. Look for short pots as wide as you can for the box. Go for 4 pots! One plant per pot as long as they're a couple inches from the flo bubls.
