Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

That's very nice looking on the inside! Stealthy on the outside. Impressive.

I keep reading that CFL's are best when used horizontally, but I don't know if the type of CFL makes a difference and I don't have experience on either anyway.

How many intake/outtake fans are you using? Did you use any kind of calculations to come up with what size to use, or did you have an idea already? I'm working on a small PC box but I think I need bigger fans before I get started, with temps reading about 83.

Anyway, congrats and good luck with round 1 in your new box!

Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I know i also keep reading the same, i'm thinking of modifying the light, anything that will make my babies grow better

Ermm only calculations i did was reading that a plant needs 1 square foot of area so decided on these measurements to fit 2 plants maybe push for 3 becuase im limited on space so i needed something no too big, stealthy and also able to move around hence the wheels :) ,

i have 3 pc fans running , 2 exhaust ones at the top and a bigger one at the bottom for the intake, when running everything temp is around 26 - 28 degrees celcius which is a good average so perfect :)

BTW we have life !!! so exited

Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

It looks good, but will 3 feet tall for the whole box be high enough?

Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

This is alright! I would put a few small holes in the bottom to draw in cool air. also you should prune the top off the plant off to make it bush more "not now hahaha". Once it feels the walls it will go up.

You need a bush like plant for cfls.

Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

I think i should be fine as a already have the big fan blowing in and 2 fans blowing out, iv'e also added some Co2.

Also i'm planning on doing some LST ( to keep them nice and low ) and also top the plants.

Any suggestions as to when to do this?

iv'e read i should wait until the plants are at least a ft tall.

Thanks in advance!

update....

Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

Hi MeanBean, all i know is the soil bag says ph ( 5,5 - 7,0 )

Re: First ever Growbox/Grow attempt!

Just give it plain water for awhile, seems pretty light. Once you know your ph for your supplies you may never need to check it again..
