does any1 use the grow rooms that you can buy and build it up yourself,ive looked at a few websites that sell these grow rooms starting from 1m x 1m and im thinking of maybe buying 1 as i need space for a second (flowering) room,can any1 give me some info on these grow rooms in a box as you may say and are they any good?
They look ok. Is that growell? i saw them once and they looked good for what they were. i prefer solid tops to hold the ballast box off the floor and to mount fans in.
Neat where, i ahev ltos of space to grow upstairs but i dont want a 400 watt lith on for an extended period, this thing looks perfect.
I guess a refrigoratior or any big contain could do the same thing?
In my opinion for the prices that some places charge it's not worth it. I saw one site flogging what they claimed to be a hi-tech grow box, they showed a pic of how well it's concealed in a room, etc. However upon examining the pic you could see that they had purposely lowered every object in the room so that you couldn't notice how small this shitty thing was. The pictures on the wall were lower than a nearby window and the bed was just a mattress on the floor. Don't get me wrong, you can grow great short plants but I wouldn't fork out the £1100 that the company was asking for this micro grow box.
If the price is right go for it, but if it's expensive as hell it'd be cheaper getting someone you trust to help build you one.
imotep im not sure if its a growell i just searched the pic for quickness.i reckon the solid top would be good for the hardware
asesino the 1`s ive been lookin at are just basicly plastic framing with black/polly walls and a flip up and over front door with a beam to hold your light and cost about £100
Sweet, if you see a site you had in mind post the link up here as I wouldn't mind having a browse myself ;)
C-dogs idea.
Lives in moms attick, no-ones been up there aceppt me in years. How abotu i curtain off one 1/8th of my room not even, enuff room for mabe 4-6 plants, full gornw, accept my ceelign slants,a nd teh area that i woudl curtain off would be only mabe 7 feet tall in the topmost part and 4 ft talkk in the short part, cause it['s sloaping.

"covering the enlcosed aread with tinfoil "
Don't do that- very bad idea and a potential fire hazard.
Only question I have about these tents is..what about ventilation for your plants?
asesino you can cut a hole in the top and in the bottom of it for fans
Wardrobe G,
How big you planning on making this thing?
Only thing is, I too looked into growboxes and they seem A LOT of money for what they are.
Being honest I had plans to build a grow area about 2 months ago, but I'm a lazy ass stoner so it's just kinda being finished now.
Each one is about 1.5m x 1.5m, made it using chipboard because its lighter and cheaper than mdf, got it cut at my local diy store: cost of wood £80.
I got full sheets cut down (8'x4') to the sizes I wanted, and then just some screws and other bits and bobs (like brackets) probably in total cost me about £120 for materials.
If you werent as lazy as me, and more importantly had someone around to help you could do it in a weekend, plus get the size you want, and save you the best part of a grand!
mole2k4 these grow rooms are only £100,could get a light for £100 and another extractor fan for £8,be talking about £210 all in for a flowering room,4 plants would repay you within 3 months or even less if you were puttin clones into it every few weeksQuote:

I used a small closet and made (IMO) a good set up using two sheets of 5/8th inch drywall. I cut it on the backside both so it would not break off, (meaning no tear on the frontside where the white is, the corners are even curved as opposed to square)
The other thing it does is to allow it to be placed inside a closet with the white side of the sheetrock facing inwards. That of course both keeps the light in as well as the white provides fair reflection of light. No fans at all.
I use a 2 ft gro light. Florescent even. I take advantage of bringing in fresh air from the crawl space as well as the heat, (what little there is) and the odor (aroma) drift up through and through an opening to the attic.
It's my first and only try at this type set up. I am building a house with a full size basement and will have no need of using a closet......*S*
