Nice grow pit. peep i was checcing out some of your pics and i noticed that you had your ballast on the inside of your growbox. Why not rewire your light so that itll be on the outside of your box, itll cut down on the temps....

Yea i "C" your point on being stealthy, maybe you could place the ballast under your nightstand? Or you could move your box into the closet thatll help with the light leaks. Plus itll keep your plants from getting unwanted light during lights off..

well that all goes back to the being stealthy part actually ,y first grow was in the closet in a bigger box the box is still there and thats how i got caught he got to snoopin around so thats why i built this little box and put the fishtank on top and its worked well so far so if it aint broke i aint fixin it lol but i appreciate your questions man ill try and take a pic of the old box when i get home later im at my girls now so i cant check they looked good this mornin

Well i decided to lst 4 of them today so i got out the drill and some zip ties and got to work heere is the pics i havent started topping yet cuz i cant really get to the new growth and i dont wanna fuck it up so im gonna be patient and wait, here is some pics they look good after i watered them yesterday too. first two pics are of the four i tied down and the third is of the bottom of the cooltube so u can see how close i can get it sorry it looks all blury it is because of the fans and the fan blowing over the light in the cooltube and the third is the temp in there i run an ac full time on 60 tho to keep it there
