I designed a box setup specific to space I had available. The final measurements of my design came to (0.70cm x 0.70cm x 1.40cm) for those in inches...(27.5in x 27.5in x 51.1in height)
Built the box in two days and have gone to do some shopping in the mean time. I bought some palm peat, two bricks and two 500g bags of vermiculite. Purchased a laundry tub ( you might ask why a laundry tub? It is low so uses less of my height, also I can drill holes in it. Also got a drip tray for underneath my tub pot.
I know, I know ! I never showed you my light yet cause it was a surprise
Solid fixture Raptor.VI 1000W Veg/Bloom spectrum Blue/Red and some specs invetween UV and IR light equipped.
Power Draw sits between 250-280W so light is bright AF and means business. At this wattage draw I could easily grow a 1 x 1 x 2 meter box as intended ( on ya inches 4' x 4' capability rating of light)
I found some extra polystyrene laying around and made and entire covering all way down to pot level for ultimate reflection to plants
Also made a perfect fit lid for the box BUT had not yet made a Masonite cover to make it solid. Reason I tell you this is cause we have cats and my male cat loves to inspect new heights even at 1.4 meters he jumped on top of the box when I was not there and smashed my perfect lid to entire eternity. Sad I have since then added a Masonite lid for safety from other cat destruction.
First photo has a memory of the Perfect Polystyrene Lid! Second is a first of my Tub pot.
I'll be back with another post to be continued (10 Pic post rule)
