I was just looking into doing a total cfl setup after my aerogarden has finished budding. They have 2600 lum full spectrum cfl lights, about $9 per bulb Great job dude!

lol i took the hood from my AG and now use it as the light fixture in a grow box like this I have 3 plants inside in hempy buckets, have another cfl flower room check my grow these are the ones from the box

Hey Dave1gi tried to PM you, lack of access anyways

atm im trying your idea curious as to the lighting.. itts all hooked up looks very similar to yours rom homedepot.. only 3 sockets.. regardless it says 60w max... but i see you had that as wlel witha Y splitter with 2 42 cfls... is that acceptable on that fixture

yeah it will work, i wired that up a while back and it holds just fine for mine

Ok ill triple the lighting today when i can get to home depot and rip off a couple bulbs...

question for dave though, what type of lighting cycles did you use... the atmosphere of the rubbermaid totes is much different from a room IMO... although ive got a very powerful inline duct fan keeping the temperate constant.

They are just starting to pop up... thinking 24/0 to get root growth going.. but since you've done this type of grow before, want to fillme

really????

dont judge the mind of a stoned 20 year old... why pay for something when im Doing It Myself... so easy

ill hopefully try and post some pics .. its actually turned out very well and imo much cleaner and organized than Daves, not as big unfortauntely couldnt find anything that big

also what size pots did you end up using for those beauties?

Any estimation as to the total investment cost, excluding energy costs?

id say on my box which is close to this make up ive dropped 150-200 on everything together, but i fucked up on a few things lol

ya give or take.. depending on if shits on sale or if you got a sneaky fingers .. im at about 155 and i probably bought to small or rubbermaid totes.. debating what to do

my question is with the emergency blankets holding in heat and such, could one switch the lighting, slap some racks in, and use this as a dryer box similar to al b fuct's GROWFAQ when its all done? new to "completing" a growing venture and am interested in your setup mixed with hempy buckets.

I see tube lights in there, did you use tube lights vertically too or just CFL's?

Just know, all the pre-assembled hydro equipment available for ridiculous prices on the Internet was originally a DIY project some pothead penned out in chem class. Always be thinkin.

i love this shit right here. I want to make the same setup but i would only be growing about 2 plants, and i have a 150 watt hps. My fear was always wondering if i could actually flower in one because i need the whole thing to be as stealth as possible. I'm happy i got to see some pics of how it came out. Great job man.

thanks man...simple setup
all cfl's nothing else

This would be a sweet grow using a UFO!

wowza! nice

what kind of weed?

by the way...go RED SOX...boston for life!

so you do 12/12 once theyre a couple inches tall, right?
