Here??s my set-up two grow boxes each is 4?? tall 2??wide and 2?? deep. That is 4?? square feet and 16 cubic feet of volume. The lighting I am using is in the veg box a set of 2 175W MH and in the flower box I??m using 400W HPS. These boxes are painted white ( five coats) on the inside and a water sealer has been copiasly applied. To start off with the boxes are air tight.
To build the boxes
Materials at Home Depot
5 4?? x 2?? ½?MDF
Screws (I used 2? #8 screws), Hinges, Door Closer, Dryer Venting
1st Paint on one side white
2nd Predrill holes (this is MDF we are working with)
3rd Assembale 3 sides and attach door
4th Cut 5th piece of MDF one for the top and one for the bottom
5th Caulk on the inside and you are done.
I installed the lights by cutting a hole through the back that is just large enough for the bulb to slip in and am using a regular reflector but have sealed it up and I am air cooling that. The two 175 I just hung the reflectors and cut a hole at the bottom and one at the top.
For Airflow I am using 85cfm Computer fans, They work great but are a little loud, would like to find something quiter. For cool air I have them hooked to a 15K BTU Window unit.
The temputure on the Veg box is at the high 71 and the low is 64
The temutrue of the Flower is 82 and the low 76
I still don??t know which hydro set-up to use but the ebb and flow looks like it will probably win.
Right know I have a 6 pot DWC and 9 Pots
I have 10 Blueberry
3 Chronic and 1 OG Kush
