CFL Closet Growbox.
So i'm starting a new grow in a new box with some new seeds. i'm sure ima need help and advice so i'm starting the thread now. i realized shortly after i posted this that i would have been better off just to start my grow thread and ask that question within, buuuuut i can't erase it so here we are. on to the important stuff.
i'll post pics of the box later when i can, right now i've got my seeds in there germinating. IT was built by cutting down cardboard boxes and putting them back together in the shape i want, so dimensions aren't real exact. It is light-proof however, i checked by sitting and noticing that i couldn't see sheeeeiiittt. ahh, but i digress again. the box itself is about 6sq' and a little over 5 feet tall. three of the inside walls are painted white, with the inside of the top being lined with aluminum foil and the fourth wall, my entryway being a white curtain...ok, old tablecloth, but you get the idea. the whole thing tales up the left half of my closet (big closet) i'm going to be growing plants two at a time, one "power skunk" and the other some white widow. both plants will be sharing 4 bulbs with one Ott-Lite (more on that in a second) and one 6500k cfl over each, which will make more sense when i can post some pics of my full setup tomorrow. i plan to transplant my plants twice, one form peat moss to the red pot you see in the pic below i did take before my box went dark, and then again from the red one to the bigger white one for final and blooming.
ok, the ott-lite. these fuckin things. i bought them from home depot on my last grow because they were the only lights i could find designated specifically for plant growth. information beyond that is... like... nonexistant. if i remember correctly they are 17w each, although i did see a place that said 20...i dunno. as far as spectrum i did find something that said they are 5400-5700k in spectrum. yeah, that's right, the best i could find was a range and i'm not even sure how accurate it is. they did grow my plants really well last time though... anyways, so i figured adding some 6500k's would give me a good spectrum for light for my plants to grow.
and in case it comes up over the course of my grow: yes, i AM growing in my parents house, yes they DO know about it, and yes, they DON'T care. let's move on, shall we?GeddaLiddleHI Reviewed by GeddaLiddleHI on .
