Hello everyone and welcome to my first grow.
First off, why Alien Box? My wife named my little project 'Alien Box' after I put the emergency blankets on the inside. See said it reminded her of the aluminum hats people wear to prevent the aliens from reading their thoughts. I liked the name, so I kept it (it also makes her happy and allows me to grow).
I am using CFLs in a DWC and planning a SCROG. This is my first real grow and I will probably need some help. I have been reading this site for a while now and have a good idea of what I am doing. I have mostly followed Wolfman Zen, Farming Toronto, and Dr. Chronic. I have gotten a lot of good ideas from them (others as well, but these stick out as grows to follow). I also have watched the See More Buds DVDs and Jorge Cervantes' bible and DVD.
Well on with my grow .... These pix are of the Alien Box. The first one is the box before I did anything to it. The second is of the holes for the 120mm computer/muffin fans to exhaust (during flower through a Zen Walmart Carbon Filter). Third is my light bar design sitting on the box. Forth is the outside after a light leak prevention mod. Fifth is the rear of the box showing the passive intake vents. These vents turned out to be too small (1 1/4" PVC) and are replaced by larger holes with fans. My idea was to use the intake to give the plants some 'wind' by directing through PVC as ducts. This did not work, hence the replacement. The sixth is the box completed (before the intake redo). This is in a 'show off' mode and will be adjusted for the plants when they are put in it (different lights and positioning, air pump, etc.)
Questions and coments are welcome. And thanks in advance!
I'm sure I have more to say, but I can't think of more right now. My next post will be the start of the grow (on Day 2 now).
