Led box of Auto`s very low budget.

[claypipe69]

Decided to throw together a led grow box for autos

White lemon hase
white widow
chocolate kush
money maker x2
The lights are china specials
top light 300 w probable only 200 w = $85
three bottom panels 45 w 35x3 = $105
fan = $10
total = $200

Just see what happens

Nice. Interested to see how it works out.

Front off, 5 out of 6 is okay The smallest one front right is an AK47 x NL very slow to start

What are the 45's that you are using, I looked at some Chinese 45's on ebay. i don't remember which ones, but they were cheap and i was thinking of using maybe eight, all individually positioned/movable - but I wasn't sure that the red spectrum was quite right.

 

[claypipe69]

They are 45 w each only $35 each they dont get hot at all as you can see they within inches of the plants these have White ,Red ,orange , Blue, the plant seem to like em

The box is only 21 x 21 x 30 inch high Front comes off its held in place with magnets you can take the lid off as well.A link to where I got em

You are going to be very happy with the results from you LED. I just ran two grows using a Galaxy Hydro LED from amazon and got over 3 zips of the best medicine. Feed them right, use good soil and the light will take care of the rest

Thanks thought i d have a go at autos inside, in the past it was always outside photos I am using homemade compost as soil an just water I`ll wait until they show signs of needing anything before I feed them. The space is to tiny for the 6 plants so the side panels should supply some light for the girls.
Max grow height is only 18" so should be interesting to see the results

How many lumens per watt are your panels.

 

[claypipe69]

move your lights up the side of your pots won`t photosynthesise anything

 

[claypipe69]

Swallowed the blue pill did you?

You have a huge investment in quality seeds, but not your lights. Sigh

Is the top light also burple=+ blue + red (no white)?

If budget is a concern, I recommend you grab a cheap HD/Lowes vanity fixture (2-3 bulb) and 2 Cree NW (neutral white) spotlights (all light faces out)
