DIY 4oz. minimum yield grow box

i'm glad you two have time to flame eachother while those of us that are looking to gain knowledge are out in the cold waiting for some help. FYI i already found the wiring diagram i needed, but in the future please act professional. I'm sure that the moderators would agree that this site is for those who are interested in either gaining knowledge or helping others gain knowledge.

man thats were i was goin with that.....
thats why i did a diy thread to try and help out....

peace

how bad was your smell bro?

it was crazy dude......
had to keep a couple windows open and set up fans for ventalation... that worked good though

check this carbon filter out, this is what i'm going to use and it costs about 20 bucks depending on where your at. It looks like a great alternative to buying an expensive already built one, and it's pretty simple to make.

Dave i was wondering about the electrical setup, how did you wire the computer fans? The only ways that i could think of that would be safe is either using a PSU(too much electricity for a couple of fans IMO) or using a power brick.

I bought a 12v ac to dc adapter and wired the fans straight to that. Works great, fans spin real fast!

I've already figured it out, i'm going to use a four fan controller and use a 12v power cord. Thank you for the help though

thanks for your info on the setup bro!!! just harvested my first run from my box and it went great

nice good to hear man.....

cool how much you yield?

i'm fairly new at this but i did something simalar. useing 2 totes 4 150watt and 6 100watt all equivalant not actuall wattage. thinking of using an exhaust fan from bathroom on top to evacuate heat as it is around 90-110 every time i test run for a few hours. I know i live in maine great growing conditions outside but i need stealth. anyway suggestions welcome. 2 plants in 17 quart pots bout fill bottom of my tubs.

well i got 215 grams wet from 5 plants its still drying so im not sure what the grand total is goin to be but i will say i did leave a nug or 2 on the cable box over night and my friends it was fantastic.. lol i know i probly didnt get the best yeld but it was my first grow and imo i didnt do to bad

I MADE ONE EXACTLY AS STATED ON THE FIRST PAGE, THE INLINE FAN WORKS EFFIN AWESOME, iM ABOUT 3 WEEKS IN WITH WHAT i FIGURE IS 3 WEEKS TO GO ALL THE PLANTS HAVE BUDS GROWING , I HAD SOME HEAT ISSUES AT FIRST BECAUSE i WAS USING 8 BULBS (ALL 4 SOCKETS HAD DOUBLERS) BUT SINCE i WENT BACK TO 6 ITS WORKING GREAT. oNE OTHER THING i HAVE A SMALL FAN AIMED RIGHT AT THE VENT HOLE AND i PUT A SMALL TUPPERWARE BEIHIND IT A ND PUT TWO REUSEABLE ICE PACKS IN IT SO IT BLOWS COOL AIR INTO THE BOX AND MY TEMP IS 76-80. YOU CAN BUY A FISH TANK TEMP STICKER ANYWHERE AND STICK IT ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX AND CONSTANTLY MONITOR IT. iM IN fL WHERE ITS DAMN HOT AND ITS WORKING FINE.


bIG UP TO DAVE BEST FUCKING POST EVER

no prob. man, good to hear that its workin out for the rollitup crew.
i dont know if your havin a problem with bugs but i did and all i did to fix it was bought bug sticky traps and placed them all inside ... probably ended up pullin a couple hundred bugs when it was all said and done.. crazy

Wow, very impressed with this set up. How many plants were actually in the box? At what height or how old did you switch to flower? Also what ratings were the bulbs?

Thanks
