First grow ever

Yeah you are gonna need a bigger light.

But you are gonna need more height when you go to a bigger light.

Read up on everything space buckets there is a ton on info out there and heaps of designs.

Reddit is good to ask questions about them too

You can have 2 fans

- intake and exhaust and while they are little you only need 1 going.

OR

have 1 fan for exhaust and drill holes low for passive intakes.

That looks like a ripper. I have no idea what a 300w UFO LED is but I'll check it out.

 

Surely the light I have will be ok to get the plant going to a descent height and strength. I can then look at space bucket mods[emoji7]

Yeah all i use is a 10 watt cultivation led from ikea at about 20-25 cm away and it works really well to begin with

Thanks all for the info.

 

When you say you use a 10w cultivating lamp to begin with, how big is the plant before you switch to a bigger lamp?

When tbey get 3 or for sets of leaves i up it a bit.

I have another lid with 5 x 7 watts that are each on there own switch. So i can have 7,14,21,28 and 35 watts going.

I also have an e27 double adapter that i can just screw another bulb into.

I gave my otber ikea 10 bulb to a friend so recently just plugged 2x 24 watt cool whites into.

It.really is trial and error amd working out what works for you.

I'll probably buy a 300w grow light off eBay if this little seedling starts to take off and grow.

Ok. I'm back.

 

Today I made my own space bucket with a storage container (140L) from bunnings, aluminium foil, 2 x LED lights and a fan (which I haven't installed yet.

 

I lined the inside of the storage container and lid with aluminium foil which I spray glued on.

 

I then cut out where the lights will fit into the lid and fitted the lights.

 

Can you please critique it and let me know what I need to do to improve it.

 

The seedling (AK47 autoflower) in the pot just started to surface so it will be interesting to see how all this pans out.

 

Attached are a few pics of it.

Take the plastic covers off those plights as they would be blocking a good %

 

And maybe it would of been a better idea starting it off in a smaller pot that way it would of given you a couple of weeks more to re evaluate what your options are in regards to the height restrictions, lighting and ventilation.
