My grow box set up. (pics)

[StonedHonda]

Here is my set up so far. I have not gone to get lights yet as I am awaiting signs of life from my seeds.

The first picture is the front. The box is 25 in tall 15x18' square. The "window" is 8in square.

The 2nd picture is from the top inside.

The lid is normally closed but opened for this picture.


Looking down in you can see my empty pot :( awaiting her seeds.

It set on top of an upside down box. The box is lined with one of those camping emergency blanket things. It is thermal and reflective, but if you hold it up to a light you can see through it.

I also have two dowel rods run through the box to support my light (when I get it). I can adjust the height of the light by simply punching holes in the box and moving the dowel rods up or down.

Picture 3 shows holes that were already in the box, so I am installing small computer fans (the ones that go on the processor) to help move the air.

I will also thinking of building a light box with fas to help move the heat away from the light.

The box will set upstairs with the opening facing the window so I can use some natural light as well.

I am also thinking of lineing the top flaps of the box and tilting them so that the sun light will relfect down into the box.

What do you all think?

Well, it's not a room. its a box. What the hell would you call it?

[ProjectEight]

I like it

[Zandor]

No; you're right it's a grow BOX.
No offence meant dude, just struck me as funny thatâ??s all.
Good luck

[professer evil]

alrite mate that box looks easy to set up,is that just a hole on the side or are u goin to cover it up when u start growing?? what kind of lights are u goin to put in there and is that just a regular cardboard box???

what kind of top are u using for the box????

and why didnt u just cover the inside with mylar??????

Non taken. After reading my reply I thought it sounded kinda snappy. sorry.

The box has its own top to close. (the flaps)

I have this set up for my light. it is a florescent grow light that my father had laying around in the garage from when he had an indoor garden. (not for weed)

I have it safely mounted in the box with everything insulated.

2 fans mounted on the sides to help reduce the heat. The fans line up with the hols in the side of the box. and when I have to rais the light I will simply cover the old holes and make new.

I will also go pick up 4 small bulb style grow lights since thatâ??s all I can afford.

This is my first grow so we'll see how it turns out.


Yes it is just a reg cardboard box.

[SyKo]

lol how many do you plan on growing in there. from what i see one of my plants would outgrow that box in a month,n dont forget they grow alot more in the 10 weeks or so it takes to flower

[Subzer0]

Watch that axial fan. They get hot and will go bad after 12-18 months and make the loudest noises. Plus the FIRE factor might make you reconsider your BOX. I keep several spares on hand and never use a USED fan. Time is ticking. Be safe. Keeps it away from flammables. GOOD LUCK

[marimbas]

Awsome.. you guys are sooooo creative, good luck man

[HARDDON]

ROFLMAO :):):)

WTF???????????

That has to be one of the most creative grow "boxes" I have ever ever seen. :)

Its simplicity and function are quite amazing indeed.

And to think I spent a whole weekend building mine on the fly....

I say you got to love it.

So how is it working out?

What happens when you get it wet?

Really ingenious....

Keep us posted......

HAPPY GROWING :)

[GTC21]

Where did you put all the foam cups?

[bruiser]

if you get bud in that box well it's a good box lol.....

[spankegti]

I'm growing my plant in a cardboard box too no problems here ;)

3 weeks in 12/12

[GraveReaper0]

That light fixture you got there, unless you put ducts onboth fans, its useless. I hope you knew that.

[GoDoFwEEd]

this winter i had the same looking growbox and i got about an 5 o off of it

[Zero Revolt]

Lemme know when it burns down.

[AussieBud]

man if i knew ya could juz slap a box together with like $5 i would have never
spent $1800 on a grow room for 3 plants lmao but with sea of green i could get alot more but in australia if you have more plants thats more jail time

[HARDDON]

5 weeks total grow, 3 weeks on 12 / 12 so you vegged for 2 weeks?

[Zandor]

[WaRuKaWa]

StonedHonda, if your grow box didn't work at least say something. I'm considering designing one based off that because I really like that concept and it suits my needs well. and if it DID work....well then, hell...please make me cream as soon as possible.

i.e. post some pictures i really want to see this. good luck.

[sheist]

same here.. i'm working on something similar (not off yours).. but u have the same elements, so i wanna see if this thing is working

[rastabill89]

thats awesome pretty ghetto man

[snow owl]

Instead of punch new holes for rods all the time, set the rods up high and use chains and "S" hooks for adjustment.

[Zandor]

Or use motor cycle tie downs the push button type.

[partyguy420]

yea, man post sum current pics and let me know how it worked. cuz i wouldnt mind doing the same except with sum ply wood and 2x4s maybe a lil bit bigger and use some couputer fans since thats what everyone tells me to use.

[Ish]

Still no update on those pics, looks like it didn't work out too well LMAO

[UpInSmOkE834]

Dont be suprised when that shit cathces on fire and burns you and your house down.

[StonedHonda]

WOW 2 years since I posted about this. Sorry for the time delay. Lots of shit happen since then. My wife got knocked up by some 17 year old bag boy d!ck and we split. then I have moved and well, lets just say things got as low as they could go.

Anyway. I am back.

Update time.

Well, sadly I couldn't get anything to germinate so I never got to even try my box. The box itself got destroyed when my ex bitch trashed some of my stuff. I may attempt this again later with a better box. but with even less money now then I had then, who knows.

[Stuper Star]

With flouro lighting...the box isn't going to burn up...lol
For a free bigger box...hit up an Appliance store.

im doing a cardboard box grow soon...

[cjf2612]

It seems crazy to me that anyone would use cardboard that close to heat/electricity/moisture. Its just a disaster waiting to happen. Hope you live alone because your risking everybodys lives that live with you. Making something like that is just irresponcible and I can't believe that someone could be so stupid.
A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING

[Packah]

THat is a really smart set im i started doing one like that but only for one plant man cnt grow too it will be too packed in trust me people im just using a 40w lighin is that alright do u think for one planet

[rob7901]

I'm growing my plant in a cardboard box too no problems here ;)

3 weeks in 12/12
Please help, I have a grow box made of cardboard also and mine lay on it's side and is 15x15x48 long and I lined it with mylar and 1flo. lights at the top of box. There growing but slow don't get me wrong they been growing for 2 weeks been in box for 1 week.the plant have 2 sets of leaves [not very large], but very healthly and thin stems.I know I need more light but only can spend 50 more dollars only.My question is how many more lights flo. lights do I need to speed the growth ?I have seen a 3 week picture of a plant and mine seems to be growing slow. Also can I just grow in my basement instead of the box? my basement is very cold but lots of room. Do you think it could be to cold?

[frostedwonder]

I would never think that it could be remotely safe, but if you happen to make it work for you more power to you. I am trying with a bud box that is 4'w30''D4'H and using a 400w HPS Sun system2 AC unit and some CFL Side lighting and two inline duct fans one for light and one for box. If a person could save money why not I guess.:jointsmile:
