not your ordinary first grow

[headshake]

thanks llama! i plan on adding 4 more bulbs i think. and a couple more coats of flat white. and a clone/veg box is in the works. and then the DWC setup.

i'll probably build the bubble cloner first, since i won't be harvesting anytime soon. let some clones veg in there, and then a little later build the DWC and move the clones and start the (hopefully) perpetual cycle.

okay, okay bigsmoke. i'll get some pics up here in a minute. no bs.

thanks mr. goodmorning02! i am trying. i started off with like $20 and have invested approximately $150 since. i should have just done it right to begin with. but i do have a lot of factors that kept me from doing so. the next grow will be proper. but it is a good learning experience. i cannot complain. and more than anything it's helping me with my patience!

okay. okay. i'm going to take pics right this second. they will be up in a few.

Haha, 4 more bulbs is gonna make it pretty crowded in there. The more the better, but don't compromise the structural integrity of that cardboard box. Think the fans will be able to handle the added heat?

[headshake]

llama, i think so. i can take the risers in the bottom out. i've got close to a foot that's styrofoam so the plants were closer to the lights. it will still be tight.

i've got the pics taken and just have to upload them. i've got company right now. they are coming though.

i think the fans can handle it. the temps have been cold here lately, so the box stays in the high 60's/low 70's for the most part. i can replace one of the fans. i should/need too anyway. one of the cheap car fans quit running a while ago. and the box should be able to handle it too. if not, i'll build a new one. it's only cardboard.
