Just wanted to be a showoff and let some people see how cheap and easy it can be to build and maintain a grow box. This box cost me virtually nothing to build; just materials around the house.
This little no cost box has grown me some gorgeous plants. I use it mostly for sexing my plants. I grow under 12/12 from Day 1 til approximately Day 25 when I begin to find which plants are males and which ones are females. I keep the females (I have about a 70% success rate at getting females lately, hopefully my new babies will be just as good) and continue on the 12/12 schedule until approximately Day 60 to Day 75 when I turn off all lights for three days and then harvest.
