Cheap grow box>>

  1. Hey guys just wanted to share a few pictures of work in progress. I started constructing a smaller mother/clone box yesterday, and so far so good. The mother plant section is pretty much done other then finishing putting up the mylar, and getting the wires straightened out.. It will hold 2 large, or 3-4 smaller mother plants. Right now I have the Ice, Hashberry, and Northern Lights mothers in there.

    The bottom clone/germination section still needs to be finished. Basically I just need to pull the cords out the back, and put in some venting. I think I'm going to put in a 4 x 12 inch floor registers on the back wall for a little air flow down there. Oh yeah of course I still have to put up the mylar all over inside as this will thicken the walls, and making the unit a lot more light proof.

    The box is 24in x 19in x 54in. They also make a 24 x19 x 30in that would work great for a small fluorescent scrog set up;) . Anyway I have a 4 inch 80 cfm duct booster pulling any hot air out the top, and another 4in. muffin fan blowing air in the back, and through the canopy. Inside the mother section I have two lights hanging from the top. I took those y splitters, so now have 4 cfl bulbs running off of two cords. I also attached a fluorescent strip light below the canopy in hopes of developing soome of the lower growth that ususally gets no light through the dense canopy. In the clone section I have another fixture, and y adapter holding 2 cfls bulbs (I also have another fluorescent like in the mother box I may attach down here as well..


    Anyway here are a few pics of the work I got done yesterday. Today I hope to find more of that thick mylar so I can go ahead, and finish it up. All in all it should work pretty well. I have lots of strains to grow out, so my plans are to select my 2-3 favorite, and keep them as mothers, and grow from clone using a sog type of method in my main flower closet:smoking: .

    look at that friggin green!! Believe it or not I grew those three mother plants to that size in 6in round containers packed into a 12 x 22 x 24in closet. Basically they were just PACKED in there like sardines. All in all they are looking friggin healthy none the less. For being grown so tight together, and in small cups they have growth shoots up the ying-yang.
