Plexi box for Male Isolation

[CaliJay]

Plexi box for Male Isolation...Anyone ever heard of this? I am thinking about just a cube of sorts. I have glued clear plexi befor and had no problems so I think as long as there are no spectral issues It would be A-OK JOE. I would probably drill a couple of holes and insert a low volume fish tank pump to create positive pressure. Would a stocking(pantyhose) woor as a fail safe to prevent the release of pollen if the pump went out?

Any help would be most excellent. Thanks friends!!! -Jay

Make sure it has lots of ventilation just like a regular grow-box, except that the light is mounted outside (ambient light). You still need exhaust etc and pantyhose is good protection. Spray it down with neem oil which leaves a nasty sticky residue and will trap pollen. Other than that you're all set.

Yeah actually it's absolute shit [both the box and the pic,lol] but does the job until I make something better. It's in 'miss stinky's grow log' and there's a pic that I just posted like an hour ago. Just a restaurant-style steel lshelving unit wrapped in plastic with a bunch of vent-holes covered in stockings.

My eventual plan is to be able to flower only one male at a time and put the girls in with him who I would like to see get knocked.

For flooring material there's a thin pillowcase on the bottom shelf- lets air through- that when I need to wash it, can just be dampened with water to prevent pollen puffing up, rolled up, and tossed in the laundry with my socks!
