hydro can be done in basically anything, but you will need to paint the outside of your tank, if it's glass ... anywhere light reaches, will promote algae growth ... better to just use a Tupperware-type tub, etc., anyway, due to breakage, leaks, etc. ... :jointsmile:
If you're gonna enclose that many lights in that tight of space, you will need to ventilate it. Otherwise your temps will be through the roof. Also as image reaper said black out your root zone. Otherwise yes, in theory, it will work just fine.
Nope.Quote:

can you please explain why. i dont want to start the grow if it will not work. thank you.
your setup is sounding more bizarre,as you add details :wtf: ... dark room, no lights ??? :wtf: ... white painted glass still passes plenty enough light to promote algae ... start over, this time by reading the Basics ... I have a feeling it will take you many failures, before you start growing conventionally ... no offense meant, I wish you luck :)Quote:

Hydro is VERY heat sensitive and your conditions are too hot.
Cannabis is a very light intensive plant. If all else were perfect u could limp along with CFLs.
You are going to work very hard and be very disappointed. I'd much rather see you get a 3 gallon bucket and put the plant outside or in a very sunny room and you get some nice results. Then decide if it's something u want to invest in.

before i start to make a new box is it possible to grow a small plant?
is budding about a 10" tall plant even possible?
Yes.
keep in mind, even 'little plants' can carry the same legal penalties :smokin:
thanks for the tip not worried about that :)Quote:

There's a whole thread or section on growing in cabinets. Like small kitchen cabs. Also some grow in computer cases. I need more that that. LOL
use the Search function here in the Forums, to find any of 'Treetops' grow logs ... Treetops does hydro grows in Folger's containers ... he grows nice little plants, in small spaces ... :smokin:
wow i didnt see that search thing thanks the computer case sounds good ill look one of those up. thank you
