Hi all. I am new to this forum and wanted everybodys thoughts and feelings on my new grow box that I have made. The grow box is 5ft tall big enpugh to fit 1-2 plants. I will be using the SCROG Method. I have 3 cfl's for vegging and when its time to flower my strains I will be installing a 150w HPS with digital ballast. Now I just want reassurance really. I have 1 desk fan for exhaust but nothing for intake at the moment. I will be putting small wheels on the bottom of each corner. So i will probably cut out 2 intake holes at the bottom on the grow box and place 2 UPVC 90 degree pipes to prevent light escaping. I currently have 4 cpu fans. But will be scrapping these for 2 desk fans to circulate the air. My Blue Cheese seeds are germinating at the moment and I will finish my screen for the scrog tomorrow. Have a gander. I will post more pics up throughout the week. Your thoughts, opinions and suggestions are welcome.
I have two 30w cfls and one 125w. do you think that is enough for vegging? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
looks like your HID is blue spectrum and cfls are red spectrum.. veg is blue and flower is red... I dunno how hot it is where you grow but you might have temp issues with just desk fans.. hopefully someone with a little more experience takes a look, good luck
they are all cfls mate. Will be getting a hps when shes ready to flower Sent from my GT-I9300 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Nice grow box, you could use more light- try for 8 to 10,000 lumens/sq ft. 23 watt CFL produces around 1500 lumens. Where are you venting this grow? More lights/more heat not to mention the odour that is to come! Keep posting
got you. I have made a hole at the top of the box with a fan directly opposite it. Thats to blow hot air out. I have drilled 8 holes at the bottom of the box for air to go in. I may need an extractor. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
