Hey man, you should check out a PC Grow, or even a rubbermaid growbox. You should definitely keep researching grow boxes and the math behind them. You will need to calculate how much light you need, how much CFM per fan/exhaust you will need, etc etc. I'm still on my first grow box, but...

How long is a piece of string? Anyway, the way I did it was I made a PVC frame and mounted socket adapters to it. Here is a photo:

Looks pretty good, nice and simple. You might want to put the air intake on the opposite side, furthest away possible from the exhaust (which really, in your case, is the tube that comes off your fan, that's where it will be pulling from) And actually, you may want to pull THROUGH the carbon...

Nope it's not running yet, I just posted this yesterday. That is next on my list, though. I need to fix light leaks, setup my ventilation and check out temps. Only problem is finding 5" insulated ducting.. I may have to order it online, and without my ventilation hooked up I won't have an...

I think training it is all part of the fun! I don't think I want an auto flower, though, the first few grows will be more of an experiment, and I look forward to playing with the plant Yeah skunk #1 seems like a good choice from what I'm reading, that will definitely be a contender when I am...

Cool I will look into this as well. I was reading into the Blue Dream and, unfortunately, it's a clone-only strain, so I can't get seeds, nor do I live anywhere near Cali. Skunk n1 - I will check this out, too, thanks dude!

Awesome. Yeah I know about the sativa being more lanky, indica being more bushy. I've been looking at seed sites, though, and it looks like there are a lot of Sativa strains that "grows like Indica" - but I don't know how much I trust that. 50/50 mix would be perfect, too. Not saying I don't...

actually, one of the main things I don't have all set is which strain to grow! I love me a good Sativa, even a Sativa/Indica (maybe slightly more Sativa?) - something that grows short and bushy and flowers fast. Something that is easy to train, SCROG, etc. Basically, a really good "first grow"...

Yes I plan on training the plant, most likely SCROG it as well. Thanks for the comments :)

Thanks man. Yeah.. Micro/stealth was pretty much my only option as of now. It should work out ok, though, especially with that Soler & Palau exhaust fan. After this first grow, though, I may be able to go bigger, it all depends on my situation. I should be able to yield a nice little personal...

Alrighty, so I've been busy this weekend constructing my grow box. So far I have just about everything I need (still a few things left) And I already started building it. The box is 2' x 1.5 ' x 3'. So far I've insulated and lined it with Mylar and setup my light mounts to hang. Check it out so...

Awesome, thanks for the welcome! I most likely will start a journal, I will try to take pics of the box construction, but most of the journal will be in the grow itself (not sure how many in-progress pics I'll have of the box, but I will snap some pics along the way :))

Thanks! I used Google Sketchup to make it. Really fun to play with! Makes designing things like this a LOT easier, especially when you're tight on space!

Yeah I was kind of expecting that. I think, then, I will have at least an 80mm fan at the above the HPS blowing towards the scrubber, jsut so the hot air doesn't build up in a single spot. And good news, I just found out that lightingdirect dot com is having a 10% off coupon sale until the 31st...

Yeah I will have to see how temps go. I've got the Sun System 150w which does have fan powered vents in the hood, but if I have to I could probably build a cool tube of some sort for it, but hopefully I won't have to. I've read a couple people saying the Sun System 150w is pretty good with heat...

Thanks guys! I should have mentioned, this is ONE box. I am just changing the light setup from veg to flower. As for that fan at the top in the flower mode, that's more of a fan to blow the hot air vented from the HPS light toward the scrubber, but yeah I've been wondering about that, probably...

Hey guys, so I'm trying to finalize everything in my plans before I start construction. Here is the box I did in Sketchup. I did both Veg and Flower versions. Veg will have 8x 26w CFLs, Flower has 150w HPS and 4x 26w CFLs I figure each side-light CFL fixture will have a pc fan to aid in...

Oh P.S. what kind of metal should I make the vent hood out of? What about the bulb reflectors? Will any shiny sheets of metal do?

This is what I am using: The doors open, and I would like to put a false front there. I can keep the shelving, too, and possibly even allow some shelf room on the top, but I don't know if I'm even going to bother yet.. I don't want to waste too much room, either.

I'm going to be growing in a smallish cabinet and I was thinking.. I wonder if it would look convincing if I took a bunch of boxes, like my Dremel box, my Ryobi grinder box, etc, and cut the fronts off about 1" deep and line the front with them. The cabinet I have is a heavy duty plastic and it...
