Thought I post a couple shots of the new children,Just received them yesterday...12 baby OG Kush clones rooting like crazy
(by the way those ez cloners are the shit, I wouldn't mind picking up the smallest one they make eventually)
So I made a veg box out of plywood and 2x4's(anything I could find)...its pretty shitty haha,there were a lot of uneven edges and almost nothing was flush...but its close enough, I used some foam sealant on all the cracks, I used plastic masking tape then silver a/c tape over that for other gaps to seal the light. I made a 6inch hole for exhaust using only a drill, and ran 6 inch ducting 2ft up and it connects to one of those cheaper 6 inch "Inline fans"...it moves about 175cfm and the box is only 5ft long 4 ft high and 2 and a half ft wide(less then 10square ft) by my calculations the fan will be good enough...maybe add a small 6 or 8 inch rotating fan inside...the intake is about 3 inches w/ some extra screen over it I had lying around.
The funny thing is that I originally had the box long ways(5 ft high,4 ft length still 2 and a half wide...but the 4 ft 6 bulb T5 I got was to long and wouldn't fit to my own dismay...so like a true smoker I started racking my brain how to extend the box, what would be easiest? So 1 hour or so later I finally decide to extend the box, just take out some screws and nails and add more plywood to extend it, so i get everything off but by that point it was kind of late so I decided to finish the rest tomorrow...
So I'm lying in bed when it hits me, haha...If I just push the stupid box over it will be perfect, because I made it too high in the first place(5ft) and im only vegging in there w/ a fluorescent so I'm not going to need that much more then 3ft really...so I pushed the funker over, drilled a new exhaust, patched the old one added a 2x4 on top to support the T5, put a blanket over the only exposed area and its like a flap door...thing...haha
I have some extra IR barrier Mylar that I'm going to use on the inside, add some chains for the light and a cheap peg timer and I think I'm good.
