Hey all just me again, This is my final plans before i start chopping into my box. Any last input is welcome. Also do i have enough space between cooltube and screen 5.5"? screen is 17"Dx22"L. Will be ordering a 6"inline extracting fan + fan speed controller. Any questions just ask. Any advice just tell . Box is 24"Hx18"Wx31"L. Oh yeah and there will be 4 seperate pots+growin screens which allows me to have a perpetual harvest system. Each screen will be about 17"Dx5.5". But my main question is still do i have enough room between the screen and the cooltube?!!! Emps

Can anyone link me or help me with a simple design for a clone chamber or box that i can leave for a few days. Self watering so that i don't have to work to much at it. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I can't help it. Junk is drawn to me. Just around the corner from home, we passed a place that had some junk out by the road side. There it was, a set of drawers, solidly built, just crying out to be taken home and converted. I asked Mr to stop so I could grab it. He said no. I said, Fine, I'll walk up and get it. We went around the block and I won! lmao Anyhoo. I'm now thinking along the lines of converting them into a mum cupboard or maybe for clones. Not sure yet. I actually don't think it would be big enough for a mum. It measures approx. 450 mm x 450 mm and about 760 mm tall... Oh yeah, and here's a pic. Well, I have to go do some sanding now. The i…

Hello, I have done a little bit of research into setting up a grow box in my bedroom. Due to space/stealth reasons I won't be able to use a box any higher than 1 meter. Even if I use a strain that doesn't grow very high is this going to be enough height to accommodate the plants & equipment? Note: I won't need many plants as I don't smoke very much at all (about 1.5 grams a fortnight) so high yields aren't needed. Also what would you estimate as the minimum cost of setting this up? It will be in my bedroom and needs to be stealthy. It doesn't need to be ultra stealthy but noise, and more importantly, smell will need to be kept to an absolute minimum. Thank you for…

Ok, so I have been doing some research into 'mums.' I've had a search around and seen what others are doing, the whole bonsai thing is cute. So now I have a few questions for the more knowledgeable of us out there. I'm interested in growing a mum myself one day, so I'm curious, how much space should you give a single mum plant? I gather that her cupboard would have to be ventilated but what about filtered for odor? Are mum's smelly or is it just when they flower? Yeah, I'm still quite the newbie... Cheers. ~M.

Hey Folks, I thought i'd share my new bud chamber with youse. The mod come about from noticing that the way i had the room previously setup, it was wasting a lot of light out to the sides and bottom of the general grow area. So hopefully by closing it in more, i can gain back those lumen's that were previously going to waste. Also got the bonus of keeping stuff like reservoir underneath 'n away from the direct light that may increase in temps in the bucket 'n res that previously may have been going on. It's a fairly basic system... 250mm centrifugal fan 2x200mm inlets 'n 2x150mm extraction Just one 15-20 litre bucket used DWC style. Continual recirculating watering…

Hey all, I have been growing bonsai for 3-4 years but have no experience growing marijuana. The horticulture part I feel pretty confident in, but I have never had to construct anything to grow in so that's the part I am clueless about. A friend of mine build a small , stealth grow box this semester and it has been working very well, but I am home for break and he doesn't have a cell phone at the moment so I can't bounce any ideas off of him. I guess at this point I am more concered with something stealthy that won't stink and will fit in my closet over yield, so i bought a small cabinet that is 24" w X 30" h X 12" deep. I did some reseach regarding filters and cons…

I'm looking to start growing but have no idea were to start. All I do know is that it will be indoor, small area, not too expensive, harvest for personal use not sale, little to no knowledge. I've been looking around and I like the setup of a super closet / any grow box but they're too much money. Does anyone know of any good sitess on DIY your own grow boxes?

Hello Canna Nation, My questions are 1.Best way to vent? Im currently thinking of exhausting outside the widow, OR drill a whole right outside, and use the window for Intake(is there such a thing as too much) ? Ideas? if anyone could link me to a dummy guide on what to use when to vent a intake/exhaust that would be great, because as of now, i have nothing. 2.If i just mount my 1000 watt on my ceiling, will i have to worry about burning my plants from such a powerful light? ( my pot+plant size should be 2 ft, 3 max for SOG- im starting with 15 plants, may go over that, im pretty sure 1000w will be enough for 15 plants? What is the max # you think i can get? 3. …

I have been looking at a couple of different grow tents on the market and although they have provisions for electrical cables, lights and even the CF, they don't appear to have any holes pre made for plumbing access. I can understand why - everyone uses a different method - but if I want to jam pack my tent fromm side to side and from top to bottom as any normal person would want....the res will have to reside outside? So if I had to cut a hole or two in one of these will the lining slowly tear? How do you lot suggest I reinforce the hole? Or is there a way that others are using that I haven't thought of? Plus are these tents good for total light block during flower…
