NEW VEG BOX - with pic of course!

42" x 22" x 36"

The box is divided in 2. this is a prefab cabinet from Home Depot, it came divided so i left it like that. i will eventually use the left side for clones and a mother. The right side was actually bigger than the left side, but the doors were the same size. I had to an a 4 inch wide peice of wood in order for the door to be light sealed. the pics explain this better

Whats inside:

4 40 watt cfls
1 4"inductor fan
4" passive intake
whole lot of mylar

The fan is mounted outside the box for 2 reasons

1 - I found that it PULLS air much better than it pushes
2 - its loud as fuck. its humming noise transferred throughout the box. its not really that its a loud fan, its just that the sheet metal housing is loud and transfers the humming very easily. i suspended the fan on the outside of the box with steel stapping. that helped a lot! but the sound of air movement is still pretty loud. but like i said, i cant push air through ducting with this fan, its just not strong enough.

the left side is not complete yet as you will see.

on to the pics

shit heres the pics...i suck at this as you can see

cool setup can u use an hid with that????

i would use a 150 HPS if the box wasnt split in 2. Its short so its not very good for HID. with 168 watts of cfl the box gets about 4-5 degrees warmer than ambient temp

This is my HID setup.

how many watts are those??you got two flower rooms?

no just one flower space. actually Im using the flower space right now to veg. I'm running some tests to see which lamps i want to use in which box,so ive been utilizing both boxes . i may need a third box. funny how easy greed takes over, lol.


- So here is the box i intend to flower with. Its now housing a 175MH as i am using it to veg some seeds. Its going to be a loooooong ways to flower cuz i still need to select a mother, and cloner her. it may not even happen from this batch of bagseed, these plants have been acting really weird. Im ordering seeds soon; I think its time for real genetics.

- here are the 2 larger seedlings. these guys are about 2 weeks old. something like that. they look a little pale and there are some faint yellowing spots.

-here is a close up of the afghan looking plant. this pic was taken outside the box and away from the halide lamp. you can see the colour a bit better. still, it doesn't look as healthy as it should i dont think. theres faint yellowing spots and the leaves are really dry. is 40 - 505 humidity to low? all in all the plants going pretty strong but do you guys see any burn spots?

- here is the other larger seedling. Im pretty happy with her, she has some of the same problems though. dry almost cracking leaves, and shes a bit droopy sometimes.

- the plants are about 9 or 10 inches away from the 175MH. the temps are about high 70's to low-mid 80's. humididy fluctuates a bit from 40 to 60. does this sound good to you guys??

- this is the yellowing i was talking about. it looks like a stain or something. is it hot spots from the mylar? bulb to close? nute problem?. i havent fed them yet, soil is shultz seed starter with pearlite added (it has mild starter nutrients, thats it)

- broad leaf close up. is the yellowing in the vein normal. its dry, too.


please help

is your soil moist?do u have drainage?the yellow does not look like nute burn probably too close to the halide how close you have it to the tops?
