Dude, you are a man after my own heart. I'll have to take pics of my current ghetto box... and you would NOT believe the drawings I have of a box exactly like the one you built. You have inspired me! I am making a box next payday! I'm not so cool as you to have a CGI drawing of my box...I'm old school and I have sketches on graph paper, but its the same box!guess im not part of the cardboard box club anymore but still ghetto as hell
I love your light set up. You've given me a few ideas...for one, duh, I never thought to put a two splitters onto a splitter and put four lights to one socket. Its so simple!
Damn! I have 18 bulbs in my grow room. I could double or triple that!!!! Holy shit!!!!

Looks good bro! Even though the cardboard box club does just fine, you gotta feel good about having a more "legit" setup!

Heres a mini update. my plants growth has stunted pretty bad due to the nute burn so im hoping by the time i get back from the hospital this weekend (my wife is going in for scheduled C section for my son) they will have come out of it.
i have to pull my plants out of my cab and pull the cab out and fix it, for some reason the door has moved down and i can shut it, i could always just cut it to fit but i would rather see why its not fitting anymore when it used to. while i have the cab out im going to install another PC fan i figure im going to need it with the extra 210w in there after thursday.
the planters i used are the houshold type with the water cather attached to the bottomsimilar to this one. so i pulled the catcher off the bottom and rested the pots back inside it without attaching it, giving the drainage holes on the bottom about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the catcher. then i drilled holes all around the sides of the catcher to hopefully allow better drainage (wich i dont think it had bad drainage to begin with but the more the better i guess) and help with airflow.
my bulbs have been shipped, supposed to be here on thursday so im hoping that works out. already have the cab wired and set to just screw them in.
i am really contemplating a complete flush today with around 10 gallons of water to hopefully rid any nutrients in the soil out so i can start them on my own feeding schedule when they start to come back and start growing good again.
not sure if i should water thursday night before i leave for the weekend or not. they have not had water since i transplanted on 11/23 wich is a full week ago, think i should let them go the weekend as well? the soil is definatly not "wet" even 3-4 inch down. it is completly dry for the first inch then damp past that. im thinking if i dont flush then leaving them and not watering is probally my best bet since i wont be here to monitor if anything does happen.
the first pic is the modification i made to my pots and second is just a pic of the plants, as you can see not much happening since last update.
Edit, just compared some pics from the night before last to this new one and they do seem to be perking up a bit so there still is hope!!!
