Greetings devil's lettuce growers,
I just wanted some help or suggestions on my box. I'm comfortable where it's at to an extent but maybe someone might have an idea I have not thought of. I plan on growing about 2 to 3 plants and scroging them. I live in a hot southwest state so it's pretty darn hot and my temp stays around 80F with humidity at 30%. I realize the temp should be closer to 74F and humidity much higher but I'm comfortable with that at the moment.
The dimensions are 36x32x18.5.
I have 8 lights hooked up to adjustable fixtures. 2 lights per fixture. This allows me to adjust the lights in any configuration I need at the time.
I am using 8 of these bulbs. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns about these please tell me because this was my biggest problem. Finding the correct lights.
The board the light fixtures are attached to is adjustable via the chains I'm using. I use a nail to slight in and out of the holes so if I have young plants on the right and adults on the left, I can slant the board to get the CFLs as close as possible to all the plants.
I have a small fan inside but I need to get a slightly more powerful one to really increase internal circulation.
I have a case fan I got from RadioShack sucking air out of the box toward the top right and in the bottom left I have a hole for a passive intake. The hole is the same diameter as the fan blade.
It's my first box I built. It used to be a dresser with 4 drawers but I gutted, sanded, and reinforced it with about 250 nails (nailgun). It is ugly but seems to be a very promising prospect. Please, I'd appreciate your feedback as this will be my first grow and want to come out in the positive by the end of this.
Thanks brothers/sisters!
