Hey guys and gals, :thumbsup:

Starting my first grow in the next few weeks (ASAP really ).

Very low budget so must keep spending to a minimum

Just ordered 90w Triband (Red 7: Blue 1: Orange 1) UFO LED Grow light (ebay bargin lol ~£90). Also getting 2 x 65w 6500k cfl + 2 x 65w 2700k cfl and a few smaller (23-40w's) cfl's for surrounding light to try and light up under the canopy and surrounding leaves.

I'm wanting to build my own grow box - timber frame with mdf or ply wood walls, painted white inside - will this be sufficient? dim - 2 x 2 x 4ft.

I'm thinking of using a few large pc fans attactched to the side of the box as wont need as much cooling with LED + CFL (is this correct) and an exhaust (pc fan/pc exhaust - high powered) into an activated carbon air filter. I'm quite handy but will need some guidance in wiring just to be on the safe side lol.

Going for a soil bed just slightly smaller than the box 1ft deep (10-11 inch soil) on casters.

Scrog grow (pm help or posts welcomed as will need help with this as no experience with plants atall).

I'm thinking of doing 4 lowryders#2 or similar (feminised) 24/0 light cycle or 18/6 from seed to harvest.

No idea of which type of soil i will use or nutes.

Will post pics as things take shape.

All advice and comments welcome.

Great site, great community so with a lil help from you guys im hoping this will be a successful first grow. :jointsmile:

Thanks in advance =]
