Started Germinating some bag seed today. Going to see how well my box does with some cheap stuff. Plus, I want practice. I am also going to try and keep a male and see if I can learn what I need to do to pollinate. I really do not want to ruin my good stuff with my lack of knowledge. Plus, I...

After my house cooled down, I turned the grow box on and let it run for about 10 hours now. The constant temp. in the box with a gallon of water in it is 88F. Not too bad, I dont think. I know it will get hotter as the temp. increases outside. I am going to try the frozen gallon of water today.

The filter cost me probably about 60-80. Dont remember exactly, bought a lot of other things with it that day. The carbon cost me 18 bucks for 20oz, but I am thinking I might not have enough. Yeah, I could shorten the tubing all the way around. I will do that here shortly. And the frozen gallon...

That is with everything running. The only thing that is not in there is the plants. I am going to run it with a large cup of water in there tomorrow. Now that I know what temp it gets to in the peak of the day (and the worse possible temp outside), I will see how it does with some added...

Well, I may put my grow on hold for a little bit. In the area of the country I live in, the avg. temp. for the last few weeks has been 100F or more. Today it's 111F. I live in an older house, so my inside temp in my house right now is 85F. Thats with the thermostat set at 77. mainly right now I...

Thats some awesome stuff right there. Are you going to document and photo your hash making process? I am curious to see how that turns out (and also want to learn from it). And thanks a ton for the advertisement for my box in your thread. I appreciate it a lot. Hopefully my grow will turn out as...

Ok, I got the ballast out of the box. I have other things to do today, so I dont have time to get string and properly hang the tubing. I will hopefully get that completed tomorrow. Also, like I had said before, I got the filter partially built. First pic shows the ballast gone and second is of...

I originally bought some Miracle Grow, but I will probably take it back and get some of the Fox Farm. Just need to find a place in my area that sells it. My Carbon Filter will go on that end first, like how I have it in my silly MS Paint drawings on my first page. So, filter > tubing > light...

Looks like I might need to get the ballast out of the box. Didnt realize how warm it would get and I think it might be affecting the temperature inside. I keep the thermostat in my house set at 77F, but it is currently 88 degrees in the box. What temp. should the inside of my box be for the best...

Waiting for the Activated Carbon to come in (and still need to build the filter), but pretty much done. I will clean up the cords and get chains for the light. Observations and suggestions? I have it running now to check temp and humidity with it going. If things check out over the next couple...

Well, I am going to germinate 5 seeds and grow whatever plants are female. As for the cracks, I can fill them with caulking, which I should have done, but I expected to have my box done sooner and still need to get some from the store. I suppose I will get some while I am out today. Thank you.

They were probably like "Daddy, we are so glad to see you! Are you going to feed us well today and talk to us again?" *WHACK*

Thats awesome! That does have me wondering... How "bad" is the smell while they are drying/curing? I am thinking about leaving the drying/curing area of my box out so I could possibly fit 6 plants. If I do, I will probably use an open area in my desk to do the drying.

More of the box. It is coming along. I will start germinating sometime this week. Also growing some regular flowers with these to put in my living room. I still need to build the filter, buy some small bungee cords to hold up the slack in the hoses and apply the eye hooks to tie the...

I decided to build it like the link. I will be using the pantyhose with the activated carbon in between. Might wrap the outside of that filter with a cut to fit carbon prefilter just for the added protection.

I agree! Time to harvest, though I am an impatient sort and I am ready to see the fruits of your labor! (I know nothing about the harvest time, just want to see how much you get!)

Yeah, I researched it more after you had originally suggested the DIY one in your earlier post. I think I will just buy one of the good ones that last a year, but I will pick it up right before the flowering phase. For now, I'll just use the Cut to Fit one I have to keep the smaller smells away...

Yeah, I had to squeeze the exhaust fan in a bit, thats for sure. I didnt hammer it in though. Just put pressure on the side sticking out the most and "walked" it into place. I still need to do something to hold in place completely. I noticed last night that while I was working on other parts of...

Are you going to get pics of the harvesting process or just get before and after? I am kind of curious how you go about the slaughter.
