is that a 2x4 tray?

3' x 6'. It's a Flood system; netpots, rockwool, hydroton, coco mat. Pics in a few minutes after I medicate.

bud luv Reviewed by bud luv on 01-03-2007. 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

The pics are adjusted to look less bright and more 'manageable.' In real life it's almost impossible to be in there without sunglasses. There's nothing like a brand new 1000w bulb.

You can see in the first photo what I meant about the hood giving coverage of the whole 3 x 6 area. I don't whether I should spread the girls out or keep the spacing as it currently is. Suggestions, latewood? How do you do it in your box?

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.

I just used the panda plastic and hung it over opening. As far as doors...I would make slots at top and bottom lift door up into slot and slide into bottom slot.

shallow slot on bottom and extra room to get door up into slot allowing for sliding into lower slot...follow me.

I would build door out of 1x2 firring strips and cover with reflective material. very light and removable...you can break the doors down into 2-3-4 pieces if you desire. peace

Firring Strips? I'm not sure what those are...

go to hopot and ask the guy in the lumber section to take you to the firring strips...from there you can figure it out...you could use 1" pvc for frame also.

Any opinions on plant spacing? here's the hood.. :stoned:

Notes -

I'm just using the 2x2 starter cubes and hydroton as a medium. The pots dry out REALLY fast. I think I'm either going to have to get a new timer that has more on/offs, or repot in a more absorbant medium.
