Made a box need help with lighting and vent system

Discussion in 'Do It Yourself' started by Bkinboston, Sep 4, 2012.

  1. I'm thinking of using a cool tube With 4 or 6 inch duct fan with a small fan inside or computer fans for venting and blowing air on the plaints

    box specs height 3 and half feet , 5 ft long and 2 and a half ft wide. Used foil as a reflector with plastic under the foil.

    Plain to grow small plaints , hope to do 5 gallon grow bags would like to do 5 or more plaints at least during the winter.

  2. I personally would ScrOG this set up at about a foot and a half with one to two plants and I would get multiple computer fans as to make sure you get enough air flow in there what type of light are you planning on using? Also foil is never really a good idea. Hit me back I can help you out a lot with any questions you may have.
     
  3. Just added this

    I'm a better off painting with white spay paint or invest in the reflective wrap?
     
  7. If you don't have the money for the reflective material, yes use a few coats of white paint. The tin foil is not safe to use, especially when covering that much space.
     

  8. gonna heat up like an oven

    Well I kind of need the heat also , the box in a shed on the back of my back yard , so I was thinking if the box it self does not make some kind of heat then I'll have to add insulation the box. I think I'll pick up some Mylar reflective film
     

  10. what kind of lights are you using?

    either way.....that light should heat up enough as long as you dont connect duct to either side of it....

  14. Made the changes just have to add the vent kit and other little changes as I go.

    Placed plants in last night to test the box looks like it works good but will have to get use to going indoors vs outdoors.

    Last note looking cloning machine or making one any info that can be sent my way would be a big help. Or if you see something missing or not correct in my box.

    Also 3 special queen 1 and the rest are bag seeds removed 2 males
