    Here it is, bad quality video but this is my box :). I'll post some HQ still pictures once my seeds sprout in the grow jorunal I will be making.


    8 26 watt cfl bulbs, 204watts total.

    Light bars tied on with plastic ties, they will not move.

    Adjustable shelf can be lowered when plants grow bigger, or removed.

    Venting holes inside the box, very clean wiring.

    Fan on the outside of the box blowing fresh and clean air into the box, and out the other side due to holes on both sides of the box.

    If the above method does not vent properly I will install computer fans.

    If you could install computer fans, then you place a nice cloth over that and you'll have a table / grow box covertly disguised! Either way...GREAT JOB

    Peace and good luck,

    I like how the CFL's are plugged directly into the power strip. I think I'm gonna try that.

    Hey cool set up, i want to do something similar to that with lowryder#2, is it a good strain to start with for a first grow?

    Thanks for the tips but my grow box is already in action, I have 2 fans installed now if you view my grow journal in my sig you can check it out, also I use flat white paint since it is much more reflective than tin foil and does not create any hot spots :)

    Morning Indy I got one question, How do I upload a video here ?
     
  17. #17 Indi420, Jun 10, 2009

    Morning, I use photobucket and just upload my video on that then use the img code, same as a picture really. :smoking:

    Aluminum Foil? NO NO NO


    When you decide to grow, I suggest you use mylar or flat white paint.
     
  19. #19 zPharoah, Jun 11, 2009

    Definitely mylar... white paint is over exaggerated its really not that great/reflective i see much better results with mylar.
     
  20. #20 JanesMan, Jun 11, 2009

    Yeah I use kinda both, but I'm starting to realize mylar is better, I have some mylar and mostly white surfaces in my mini cabinet. For my Big Flowering Cab I think I will use all mylar.
