Let me introduce myself, I've been mesmerized by the yield from stratlogic's hydro bucket/ box setup, so instead of stare at the screen all day, I decided to put pencil to paper and start sketching some stuff out. I'll list my goals and thought process before and during the build here. There are some variables still up in the air, bu I'll post all of my specifications of my box/ climate/ etc. Pics to be up soon!! I hope 
My main goals/ objectives of this grow are as follows: (In no particular order)
Bucket Size - 5 gallon
Medium - Hydroton
Lights - Two 68 watt (actual watt) CFL, Nine 26 watt (actual) CFLs
Nutrients - Advanced Nutrients A + B Sensi Bloom
Strain(s) - Unknown as of now (Still deciding)
Yield : 4 ounces (1 plant). I know this sounds extremely optimistic but I wanna aim high, and yield even higher! Also the choices of plants to choose from will be (OG Grand Daddy, Blue Dream, or Jack Herrer) I still am not sure what plant to use, I will be using 5 feet of vertical space with a 2' x 2' for the bottom. Please let me know what strain would be best for this !! Thanks
I've been so excited from the time this thought popped into my head until the grow box was complete and I still cannot wait to get started!!
Before I even think about getting seeds/ or clone, I want everything to be 100% done and planned out. I saw this quote by Benjamin Franklin and it seems to not be said enough!!! "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
Well enough of my rambling on. Here's some specs of the box (Thank you again stratlogic for paving the way on a decent closet box design as well as the hydro bucket!)
For copyright purposes heres the link to strats hydrobucket thread I used:
Hydro Bucket Construction
The bucket remains, for the most part, unchanged except for some minor details. The 3" net pot I changed to a 6" net pot and the cd case cover underneath the lid was changed to a larger container to fit around the larger netpot. All items were bought from petco (Air pump, Water pump, air stones) The others from Home depot and hydro store (Bucket, net pot, zip ties)
The box is an almost exact dimensional layout of stratlogics box, again here's the link to his box grow.
Grow Box Construction
Few minor changes as well, for $$$ reasons I chose to go with a flat white paint on the inside rather than mylar. No carbon filter installed yet either.
Where I'm at right now is the box being almost all the way done, I'd say im about 85% there for the most part until day one begins!
I'll post pics soon of my progress but they're crappy camera pics but o well! Beggers cant be choosers hahah
Also, I'm just doing this off the top of my head to get the Journal started, The grow is expected to begin sometime late next week if everything stays to the plan. Also, let me know if there's a materials list or parts list anyone needs, Thanks again 420 magazine and members!!
My main goals/ objectives of this grow are as follows: (In no particular order)
- stealthy, should fit in the closet and pull no visual attention from unwanted guests
- odor should be reduced/ covered to achieve full stealth grow.
- Have a fully controllable climate inside the grow box
- Utilize everday items found around the garage, house, etc
- Keep project within budget, DIY for the most part
- Try different methods of growing combined such as a LST and ScrOG.
- Noise to be an absolute minimum (In the closet)
- Large yield/ plant ratio
- Learn as much as I can and have fun!!!!
