Im putting 2 plants in it. when the plants get too tall I can seperate the two halves and put walls to make it taller. I am also putting the hose from a homemade c02 (fermentation). check it out and lemme know what you think, Im gonna work on it a couple more hours tonight, hopefully finish.:thumbsup:
Looks great for a cheap setup. I'll be building a real cabinet this weekend and tossing out the old box but it worked fantastic for what it was.

As for the CO2. I've read that there really isn't enough light from CFL's to make the uptake of CO2 really effective or for it to even happen. I tried it but also had so much ventilation going on that it would all get sucked out anyway.

You need a fairly enclosed space for CO2 to work. But if you want to give it a try then go for it. Bakers yeast is cheap and 2 liter bottles are free if you drink the contents. It can't hurt for the price it costs. All in all it looks good. Though I think I would replace those sun blocker things with just white paint.

I had mylar in my box and I still think I would just use flat white paint next time. So much easier to work with and nearly as reflective.
daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on . Direct light to buds and what is the sex? This is a two part question as pretty much stated in my subject line. I'll post each question with it's corresponding pictures. My first question is this. As I understand buds like direct sunlight and tucking the leaves/branches out of the way is the preferred method, but I have a beast of a plant that vegged under CFL's. What would be your suggestion in this situation? Please see the pictures below. I've got 4 pictures showing all 4 sides of the plant. Rating: 5
