CFL Grow Box

Hey All,

Well here it is! These are some pictures of my grow box. Currently growing a Blueberry Auto, she is two weeks old( lighting18/6). This box has 175 watts of CFL lighting with the capability of 250 watts total. Also, it has a 70 CFM fan built into the side,with quite a few screened intakes on the sides and top. I have a drip irrigation system installed that still has to be tweeked for maximum effienciency, dull white construction material and a removable SCROG set-up(it can be seen in one pic. at lower right corner). Currently running at 80 degrees with 30% humidity. She is running like a dream. Only on my second grow with this box, the first being a photoperiod plant.

Peace,

Very nice Sherman!
I guess your not concerned about stealth.I would still paint that bad boy black,you might be losing some light,every little bit helps with cfls.Like you,i can't wait to see the finished blueberry.GL

Thanks B166ER420,

I was tossing around the idea of painting the box before this grow, but my results were so good with my first plant I made the decision to keep it the way it is. I know I'm loosing some light but the material is poster board and is a pretty breathable material.So my thinking is that the paint would saturate it and bleed right through. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress!

Peace,

Nice, can you explain your watering dripper.(no clue what to call it)

Hey Joe,

It's basically a plastic bladder wth a tube that run's down into my box with four adjustable dripper's (comes with 6) and a stop at the end. I got sick of always checking my soil before work or when I'm pressed for time so I found this system online at Two Wests and Elliot in the U.K. It cost me about $20.00 with shipping, great product, made in England, not China and gives you piece of mind knowing your plant won't dry out. I adjusted the heads so it drips about once every 3 second's so your grow media has a consistent moisture level. You can also run your nutrients through it. I plan on growing SCROG and I'm limited for room in my cab so rather than moving things around once I start training my plant I just fill up the bladder and bingo my plant always stay's moist , no need to move shit. It's just easier, cleaner and no chance of spilling water all over ( I hope, no leaks). For now though I have a Bluberry Auto in there until I'm sure I can trust this system's integrity. So far, so good. The little girl is loving it! It's called the "Big Drippa".

Hope this helps.
