whadup whadup. in this post ill be explaining how to make yourself a cheap and easy veg/clone box. i was recently thinking of a place i could use to host any clones i would take. i already used what eligible space i had for my stealth grow box so i had to come up with an alternative.
what ive used basically is just a cardboard box and a light fixture, some hardware and simple wiring.
first of all id like to mention that this, is only meant as a temporary (portable?) place to accompany any small seedling/clones u may have untill you would want to transfer into a larger flowering room. as i myself cant keep both a veg/flowering room side by side, i decided to make myself this litttle darling.
depending on how many you intend to keep under lights, thats how big your box will need to be. in this case ive chosen a box to host about 2 clones at a time.
next, get yourself a light fixture. and also grab a cord with an outlet plug on one side and exposed wire on the other. found in the lighting section in most hardware stores.
from here its as simple as connecting the exposed wired from both applications onto eachother. use wire caps and or electrical tape.
next you are going to have to poke holes into the top of your box to fit tightly around the fixtures hardware. here you can see that ive made 2 holes conveniently located on either side of a slit that allowed the hanging clamp to rest and pull up against the fixture inside securly.
thread through your hardware and attach bolts or washers so that the fixture wont fall thru.
KABLAM!!! you are finished. you can also run a small fan inside or poke vent holes. in my box i have 10 inches of clearence from floor to light bulb. plently to get started a clone or seedling in stealth mode. here i have it hidden inside a movie projector box, tucked away in a corner.
