need help with grow box

[canesrock118]

ok I have grown before in a 20 gallon fish tank. lol That was a failure. I wanted to give it another try but this time i want to build a grow box. Im going to put it in my closet and I only want to grow one to two plants using the scrog method. I have been looking through the forums and found a couple threads on how to build a box. I just wanted to ask if this is a good idea and also any pointers would be useful. Thanks

I seem to be in the same boat that you are minus the "The Fishtank Experiment". If you hear any thing let me know. Thanks

Ok, this is what they have, and they am 4 weeks from harvest...

Two stackable rubber maid conatiners...stacked on top of one another of course.

Two large potting containers

4 tube style floro lights, small enough to fit hung on the top of rubber made container. (if anyone knows the technical trerm for a floro tube light that is half inch in diameter and used for horticultural lighting, please feel free to enlighten me, I know they have a higher output than a shop light)


FAN (squirrel, computer...doesnt really matter, you need air to move from outside to inside...and then outside again

soil

weed seeds

chicken wire




Ok, so, if you havent figured it out mcguyver like yet...cut two round holes in the lid of bottom of container and bottom of top container...big enough to fit flower pots in.

Cover inside of top "growing' chamber with light proof material.

suspend light fixture from top of box with rope or wire.

stack boxes on top of one another, top box will be the growing chamber, drop in the flower pot, the bottom of growing chamber should be roughtly same hight as soil mixture...

cut two holes in the back of the box, attach an exhast fan to one, leave the other open for intake...


fill pots with soil and plant germinated seedlings/clones in pots.

turn the lights on...


AND GROW SOME DOPE!!!


get back to me when you get it going, and I will fill you in on the nuances of it all
