Help Me With My First Growbox

[SonicHaze]

Alright, so I've somewhat constructed it, lol.

I reckon I'm gonna have to buy another light reflector.

Here's pics:





Might look like shit, but it's my first ever

Again, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

SonicHaze Reviewed by SonicHaze on 05-26-2009. Help Me With My First Growbox I need help constructing a growbox, preferrably one that is pretty cheap lol. I've read tons of shit about it, and still confused on many things. Can anyone give me a list of things I will need, and how to set it up? Any help is appreciated. Rating: 5

so the set up is good so far. A Few Things. Cut a 4 INCH hole at the bottom and get a dunking donuts styrofoam cup and cut the bottom of it off of it and place it in the hole and throw a screen over the bigger side to filter out hair and what not. Now as for the 5 gallon bucket id wait to flower cycle to use that and id start off with a small container of some sort during seedling (like a Dixie cup then transplant into a 2 liter soda bottle, then into the 5 gallon bucket). Also having the soil that low in the bucket (or any pot, keep soil at least/no more then a inch from the top) is no good will cause air to get stagnate in there.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I just bought a 20 oz fountain soda so it's all good

pretty obvious you didn't do any reading at all ... there is all the growing info in the world, in these pages, but you came up with a cardboard box and tin foil ? :wtf:

Actually I did quite a bit of reading. Perhaps I'm just a slow learner or something lol.

Couple pics:





Is 3 bulbs of 1700 lumens each(5100 combined) enough for my one plant?

So it's coming together slowly but surely. Now I have some food for thought for you. Now those reflector u have are going to probly next to nothing so any type of white paint (or spray paint) and paint the inside white /or completely line the inside with Mylar. That will help with light reflection and also it puts something inbetween the cardboard and water which can cause mold. It will also help with absorbing the heat too so everyone wins! Also the lights are good but it's not just about lumes it's also about KILVEN(color spectrum) so for veg you want blubs that have 6500k and for flowering 2700k. The box should say what KILVEN the bulbs are. Your lumes is good but the K is were it's at. So for flower switch to 2700k blubs

I agree with camo, check your bulbs, it looks like you're running the 2700k bulbs. they'll make your ladies stretch.

The lights I have on it right now are 6500k, and actually, the first set box of lights I bought were 2700k(flowering) haha. So it seems that I'm pretty set?

Thanks.
