*Note - This is not my first grow, I am aware that the lighting and various features are in need of improvement... But I enjoy pulling a nice box out of a budget of $30 or less. Heck, I would say that I enjoy the build more than the grow sometimes. lol
I built this baby from free Amazon giftcards from various websites. This box was free, but the total cost out of pocket would have been around $20.
I asked myself going in 'What is the smallest footprint I can leave with my personal stash-grow?' and I decided to build off of usb power!
LIST:
10w LED Strip (changes to 9 colors and strobe, planning 2 more)
5 port usb hub
1Gal Smart-pot
1 food grade bottle (for wick system)
Cotton Shoelace
Aluminium Foil
Bamboo skewers
36 Can insulated cooler
Cardboard (4 inch high reflector base to hide unused vertical space and lower pot)
COST - $0.00!!!
Total exposed surface space is probably just shy of one square foot.
I spiraled the light strip down the side for maximum node exposure!
I popped some bag seed, can't wait!
My Questions:
Does anyone know of a way to set a timer for usb switch?
..and I've left it on and sealed for several hours now - no heat build up what-so-ever. Is a vent fan really necessary? I bought a small fan but am now contemplating using it for a trunk-stem aggitator instead of exhaust...
Could I get away with a yeast Co2 drip for such a small space? (Instead of said exhaust fan lol)
Here is the feeding and training schedule:
