Jakester-totally agree with you man. HPS are by far better then cfl's as far as yield goes but i figured for this box and my current needs I decided that cfl's would be best for me. I don't like the idea of a hot hps in a small cardboard box. maybe when I get a secret jarden grow tent then I will def. switch and get a 250w hps. I wanted to see for myself though that its possible to grow good nugs with just cfl's. It def. is harder and takes more technique and I figured if I can do it with cfl's then I can def. do it with hps. thanks for the comment though.

Elduderin- thank you so much for your comment. I am very proud of my box and if you do something similar you will not be dissapointed. very easy, cheap, small and stealthy. I dont know why more people don't build quality grow boxes out of cardboard. If you need any help or have any questions about setting up your grow box just let me know and I will try my best to help you and point you in the right direction. I am fairly new to this whole thing but I def. feel comfortable and can say that I know my stuff. After this first grow under my belt I think I will have quality problem free grows.

irishviking- HAHAHA, I imagine how you felt when you thought those were my female root balls. The female root balls arent much worse than those in the pics. Thank you very much for your comments and for subscribing to my thread. Keep the comments coming and lemme know if theres any other pics or info you would like to see/know bout my setup.

Frostedwonder- haha I totally agree with you man. I understand that not many people will post on this thread but its cool. As long as people view it and appreciate the work im putting into this setup. def agree with you on the hps in a cardboard cab. thats the main reason i strayed away from getting a hps light. I def. am happy with how I slowly bought things as I needed them and didn't go crazy like a lot of people seem to do and go spend a bunch of money on a setup and end up changing it halfway thru. I haven't purchased one thing that i am not currently using. I got the fans and cups for free which I had just lying around.


I am going to build the diy carbon filter tomorrow and transplant my plants so I will post up pics of everything when I'm done. should come out good hopefully. Hoping my little 2.5 wk old plant will show signs of being a female soon. I like the idea of a small budding plant in a dixie cup. it'll be more of an experiment and photo shoot then caring bout getting max. yeild.:rastasmoke:
