I'm planning on making a grow journal once I get the clones in. I'm starting off with my first indoor grow, i've done an outdoor grow last summer with two plants that yielding a few ounces. I've been doing a ton of research to figure out how to do what I need to do and now this is what I came up with... Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated, I really want to get anything thats a factor out of the way by the time I start em up.
I started off with a cabinet I had in my garage and hollowed it out, drilled a few holes on the top and cut two fan holes on opposite sides. Once I had everything in I measured the heat with 2 120W CFLs and two 120mm computer fans. With it being in my closet it still got pretty hot and up to 100degrees.
So after all that work I decided to start a new one. I grabbed some spare would, drew out a plan, and started fresh. Heres the outcome of that. I still have the same lights but added 1 more. Upgraded to a 120mm 2950 RPM fan, which shot out a lot more than the 120mm computer fan. This box also gave me a lot more room. Its about two and a half feet in width and a good four feet or so in hieght. The box has cooled down, its constant 80 degrees now which is a lot better but not exactly enough I dont think.
Next up I need to think about a drainage system, I was thinking just stapling plastic tarping to the bottom and putting a tub in there to catch the water. I'm not sure yet, any suggestions help.
Basically I just wanted to hear what people think and any ideas that can help make this grow better. I will be using Fox Farms Ocean Forrest and Fox Farms 3 Pack.
Thanks,
Ross
