So as of now the measurements of my grow box is 4 feet three and a quarter inches wide 6.5 feet hight 2.5 feet deep.. Those are the outside dimensions inside spaces 3 feet 11 inches why height is 5 ft 1 1/4 inches into feet 3 inches deep roughly 49 cubic feet it has no doors well it used to have glass sliding doors but I'm putting plywood doors on it and probably a special lock here are a few pictures of it and questions that I have to ask.. Inside dimension 5ft1in=H ...3ft11in= W ...2ft3.5 in D Questions I was wondering could the condenser unit in the top of my fridge still be used to cool the air in grow box and/or should I just discard it well I can save it for another project and yeah that's pretty much it but tips and anything else you guys have to offer will be great thank you. I think of you pictures came through upside down ... I'm basically trying to replicate or make a better one of these http://www.growboxusa.com/cart/silverback_hydroponic_grow_box_w_cloning_chamber I'll be doing mostly everything myself and I'll be showing you a couple projects that I created to go with this or other boxes I've created Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
So more I had to add but just wanted to get the post started before it deleted what I was writing well I have a 400 watt HPS I did the DIY to make into switchable ballest ,then I also took apart a in house standing osculating fan to make my exhaust blower I think it's like 650 CFM I took the oscillating motor to add to my DIY co2 bucket I will be using t8s and t5s as my side lighting ,working on my carbon filter DIYer and the motorized co. 2 bucket is I'm adding a motor to the bucket is to ster the baking soda while my vinegar is dripping with the constant stir the solution won't settle in will make constant co2 but that will be a DIY project I will be doing and working on with you guys Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Ok I went a step further and cut out the condenser unit , I also pulled out the the ballest so I can clean the unit need to get a different cutting bit for my dremel to cut hole roof... Any suggestions My bottom spce will be divided into 2 one side will be for the ballest and electronic components an the other side will be for clones an maybe a bonsi its only 1 foot of space, hight wise, going tho get ply board for making doors deciding on what kind of hinges to use *will that be enough space for mother plant. (maybe in LTS) * what watts should I run with Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Sorry bout that the app froze and I couldn't upload the rest of the pictures more to come Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Okay so this is the unit cleaned out going to clean out the bottom again and line it with black plastic and reflective material I want to paint the outside like a gun metal gray or black.... Next update should be of new wiring or skematics to put back together and I'll be installing a few permanent outlets... Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
After all that work I hope you go hydro. It would be shame to do all that then put buckets of dirt inside. LOL
I hope I go hydro to I'm trying to get another p_h meter but was thinking about starting off a few and so well maybe 6-9 pots but what do you think or recommend I have some 10 gallon totes and a submersible pump but check these out I have the pump running for like a week now well since the 4th and I think that she was so all the air was in getting to the air stone but I just got to check it again and these are underneath No roots are forming yet and I am having a problem cloning with peat pellets I've clone in rockwall successfully and also in peat pellets but recently I have been rooting slow I have a 70 litre aqua active air pump connected to my bubble cloner air stones I want to get a quieter air pump which one would you recommend what a 6o-100 gallon work Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Air pumps? I have one of these... I want 3 more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elemental-O2-Commercial-Air-Pump-1157-gph-Aquarium-Hydroponics-Aquaponics-Pond-/141153620486?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item20dd695206 This one is a bit better.. $70 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elemental-O2-Commercial-Air-Pump-1744-gph-Aquarium-Hydroponics-Aquaponics-Pond-/130882653783?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item1e7936ce57 I want multiple pumps so when one dies I can keep running till I fix it or get it replaced.
What do yot think about this squirrel type fan I salvaged it from a osculating in home air blower I used it for previous tent and it works fine but this is not a tent it has 3 speeds an 50 output in a nother 120 volt output which you still have a 50 revolution per minute motor are connected to it Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
This is the pump I hahe to use with this new cabinet that I'm building but I want a smaller quieter one for my cloning chamber my other grow cabinet that you seen in the other pictures Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
love the fan, squirrel cage fans move a lot of air and are not cheap . the pump will be run on a timed cycle or constant? Iv been and engineer and machinist for over 20 years and love to build things, use recycled parts and know the build inside and out. What you are making will be very nice.
Thank You ... I need motivation I was just going through a messed up period . Going to reroute 4ft flourle to sides wondering if I sh ould install 1 or 2 sets when do you think that fan in the second picture is still usable for something it was connected to the condenser unit Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
You bet, clean it up and use it as an air mover, have it on its own switch so you can turn it on/off or plumb into a timed circuit or even a thermostat. The possibilities are endless. Makes me think I need to get my ass in gear but I have a few months before I turn on the lights indoors.
it's never too late start anything I was wondering did you know anything about this 5 in 2 day honeywell programmable thermostat is that as I want to keep the room cool is there a way to and make connect , I know the thermostat runs off of a 24 volt relays so that's what I would have find out some way to connect this into squirrel fans 3speeds... any electrition out there can help Sent from my SGH-T889 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
