    So to start thanks for taking a look at the new box...
    All measurements in inches
    Dimensions are L 34 x W 16 x D 14
    It's constructed out of 1x4 lumber from home depot and the caulk and painted all supplies this far from the depot.
    I have 2 80mm pc fans for I take that pull a combined 80cfm
    For exhaust I have a 120mm axial fan that pulls 110 cfm with another one I can install if needed
    The fans come from the all mighty amazon
    Tomorrow the lights get put in
    Also tomorrow clones get picked up from the store and the full test begins
    Comments and suggestions welcome

  2. So far so good. Keep it going
     
  3. now I just have the choice of what clones I wanna get
     
  4. Will be following to see how it all works out!! Good luck!
     
  5. thanks Obama ... I noticed we have similar structures for grow boxs
     
  6. You going to be running cfls? Or leds?
     
  7. cfls that's what I have at the moment anyway and am comfortable with... LED that new fangled technology lol
     
  8. Ok kinda assumed but wanted to ask instead actually assuming lol with my medicated self! Anyhow hope you get going!
     
  9. Jailbait420!?!? Hahahaha definately original. The box looks crafty. You just doing one clone at a time? How long you vegging for?
     
  10. Heat will be your biggest issue. You need good air movement inside the box as well as through it to disperse heat inside and strengthen your plants.
    Since this is your first grow, do some serious reading up on the process in the new grower threads here on the forum. There are some basics you need to know to keep a plant healthy and you'll be much better off getting these down before you start instead of trying to recoup your plant after you have issues with it.
    Good luck with it! TWW
     
  11. capt. Murphy I will be vegging for probably 2 weeks since its clones


    And just for record not first grow not at all lol just new box
     
  12. Right on I was thinkin the same thing. Good job on the build, very clean. I had a fan blowing under my canopy(like your intake fans I believe) and it kept drying out the soil, just something to think abouy if you dont have a plan already
     
  13. ya that's I concern is drying soil and I realised that factor after I put the holes in lol. But it will hopefully be alright a little more water ain't a big deal
     
  14. There are top dressings to help with that. I'm using coco husks. They make a great barrier
     
  15. Here is the 8 lamp CFL rig I worked out to minimize head space.. It needed a 4 inch 110 CFM axial fan to keep it cool with a 6x6 passive vent down low..

    8 @ 23-26 watt 6500k
    [​IMG]Had a matched pair of them I ran for a couple of years in..
    BNW
     
  16. i will look at the top dressing at the grow shop here after while...ya the heat is gonna be a little bit of a worry but I will have about 150 watts in here with the option of expanding if I want to
     
  17. Nice box brother.
