Hey guys, after a lot of trial and error I have finally decided to grow for the first time. I was on a budget so I didn't want to buy a tent or anything. The key word here is "was" seeing as I f***** up a couple of times trying to build my first stealth cab and wasted about $75 worth of supplies. I ended up deciding to go with a mini fridge grow because it has a lot of good aspects for budget builds. Ok so I took this old mini fridge and got started. I would show you guys the process I went through in building it but the photos got deleted. Anyway here are the stats
1. Lights - cfls I'm using (2) 42 watt bulbs and (3) 23 watt bulbs
I'm using cfls because of the low heat output and they are cheaper than LEDs
2. Airflow- I'm using a 4 inch inline fan that I fitted into the back wall of the mini fridge using a drill and saw to cut the hole I also have two passive intake holes on the bottom side walls about 2inches by 2inches a piece. This creates a airtight seal caused by negative air pressure.
3.soil or hydroponics? - this go around I am using soil because it is my first grow and some things are just easier to leave to Mother Nature and I don't think you can really go to wrong with soil as long as the plant has what it needs. One major note it that I'm using mirical gro potting soil because I don't have access to anything else at the moment but I've seen good results with it so far so we'll see
As I am new to this I welcome all input and advise and look forward to seeing your guys' input. Thank you and here are some
pics of izabella(plant) and the setup right now.
