Damn...

It's tough to decide how to set this baby up.

buckets, aero, flood?

build the box for one light or two?

a ton of small plants or a bunch of medium sized?



I want to do a lot of tiny plants, but it's impractical to do this with hydrofarm buckets, which I'm accustomed to using. I don't like flood trays so much. Dare I do a massive aero PVC job?

bud luv Reviewed by bud luv on 12-29-2006. New Project: A friend has: Apartment. 1 Bedroom. It is a Living Space. Desire to grow. The tentative plan is to build a 4x5x7 box in the bedroom. This would essentially be a DIY hydrohut. 1000w HPS. 6 bucket DIY hydrofarm setup like in my Signature. Cutting any holes in the apartment is a no-no, it's got a unit below and above it. The box would be sealed/sealable. The goal would be to yield a good crop, enough to caregive for several patients. Odor control is probably a necessity, in some Rating: 5

its in the garage so it stays fairly cool but i bought a heater to regulate. The reason my carbon filter is outside is becuz i dont have to scrub the air comin in but just the air going out it would be ineffective to scrub incoming air becuz once you exhaust it will smell like bud i could just sit it inside the box and direct a fan at it but i prefer the exhaust method

Hey Web.

You can still scrub the exhaust air by putting the filter inside the gro area. You pull the air in the grow through the carbon filter, through a fan, into the exhaust. I believe that's how it's most commonly done, but if it works for you to push the air through it, more power to you.

Yes, Definitely!

The eventual plan is to put in a vortex and a can filter.... and after one go-around another light. The hood that I have does seem to spread the light out suitably for the space, though.

Off to get some clones...

how did you make the front on yours? I'm considering making two plywood french doors, but I know there's a better solution out there somewhere.
