Veg/Clone Box

[dutch540]

Just bought a digital camera the other month so I thought i'd put it to some use.

 

Here is my grow box, which I use for veging clones, mother plants and seedlings. I have got two mothers Haze Special, Golden Skush and some Early Durban, Afghani #1 seedlings in there at the moment.

 

 

The box is 4' long 3' high and 1.3' deep it is on caster wheels so I can move it around. There are 4 36W 4' flouros providing the light, i use a combination of cool white and daylight tubes. There is 1 120mm inlet fan blowing 80cf/m in, while hot air is vented through piping out the bottom. Both the inlet and outlet are fitted with inbuilt light traps.

This photo was taken only a few days ago. This photo shows two soon to be outside mothers mentioned above, and a few Early Durban seedlings.

Nice box.

 

Check out Bunnings for 40W CF bulbs [bayonet or screwin -$24 each] if you want better lighting.

they're selling 40W compact fluoros now? excellent, I'll have to pick up a few of those.

Yes theyre Compton brand IIRC [i seen them at the Everton Park store today] - theyre equal to about 250W or something. I almost bought 4 of them [3 for mother & 1 for clone] but Ill wait till later - hehehe.

 

I couldnt see any decent lightbulb holders there so does anyone know where to get good ones [with plug] from for about $10? I dont want to make my own if I can buy some.

I buy the $5 cheapo lamps from Bunnings and bust them up to use the lamp chords.

Yeah don't know guys.

 

Id need atleast 4-5 to cover the same area, I'm content with my 36W Sq/foot. The box is mostly used for clones, so this setup is good for clone trays.

 

Lot of a hassle for very little gain...and lets face it, it wouldnt looks as good..

 

Might see if I can get some 40W tubes though.
