Growing under house..

[ThePurpleMan]

Ok well i have never grown herb on my own before but i have helped my friend who has a cannabis card grow his.. I know enough about it how to germinate.. ect. So ive decided to start growing. In my room i made a under the house acces, i am thinking about digging down 6 feet and lining the 6ft deep by 2ft wide hole with plywood. at the bottom of the hole in the ply wood i would run a 3 1/2 inch pvc pipe up to ground level. That would be my air in and i would have another pipe running at ground level into the box and that would be my air out. I would have fans on both and a carbon filter on the end of the out duct. I would use 1 HPS light.. does that sound like an ok little grow box that will be conceled? Please give me suggestions and tell me if you think it would be worth it..

how much wattage and how many plants u plan on growing?
how big is the pvc pipe?

[ThePurpleMan]

i was probably just gonna buy a 75 watt HPS light because i was only gonna grow one plant in it.. the PVC would be 3 1/2 inches Wide.. i think that would be sufficient enough to vent the room

Hello Mr. Purple!

I LOVE IT..

I would make the hole a bit wider... can you make it 4x4x6 ?
and then you can use a 400 or even a 1000watt hps..

You may also want to consider some sort of drainage.. like rocks at the bottom... beneath your pot.. just incase you get some flooding or over watering happens..

How about some ropes around the bottom of the pot so you can easily pull the plant up (this may become necessary)

I look forwared to seeing this project in REAL life..

i could try and make it 4X4X6 the only issue is that the trap door is gonna be in my closet so ide just have the whole wider than the trap door.. Great idea with the ropes. I will take pictures as i go along but it will be a slow process for two reasons. 1 i can only do it when my parents arent home and my mom doesnt work during the summer because shes a teacher, the other issue is money lol cuz all i have right now is 40$ but I will hopefully get the box built in 2 weeks
