Dresser grow box...any suggestons

I was gonna grow some marijuana outside but i decided to turn my old dresser into a grow box..not the best picture but uptop is a 120watt hps light and the other 2 bulbs are 2 cfl lights..the dresser is about 4 ft tall..the pots have rocks on the bottom and the soil is a mixture of cow manure miracle grow and a little regular dirt..

I was jus wondering if anybody had any tips ideas or suggestions im pretty new to this...

Plz!!!

hey man

ok wow..........u are making several rookie mistakes i know others will tell u

first off get some mylar.....they have several kinds mylar sheets ,mylar on bubble wrap,mirror borad ...........this is to hide the heat from above u know why u grow it inside in the first place , second it reflects light and u get the maxium out of the bulb and for plant right now u are getting only a fraction of the light to them with the brown aborbing the indirect light


next is what kind of seed did u use a tall growing one a short a medium a auto flower a photo type

good work on the covering here look at this

that is fans u need to have intake and exhust..........i go 2 intake one exhust.....................for the smell u need to go to a lowes/home depot and get a carbon active centeral air filter ( u will get like 10 /12 use from one) go home over measure the fan from outside cut the filter that big get a peice of drawls bottom ( that weak plywood) make the peice the size of the filter u cut then drawl a cirlce where the fan blows tho and cut out take 4 screws long ones and do the conners pressing it tight so air go out there ( when the stink comes back change pad )

u want a front or something with mylar on it too if u air tighen it with u know that rubber seal stuff they use to block drafts in doorways and a latch or something and u almost done

the lights u need to have a better system first off get a power strip with surge protector(the holes on back for mounting look they should be space so can hang on side very important) .......get outlet to socket adpeters from lowes /home depot about 2.50 where i live get 3 ...............now go to the shelfing area and look for the brackets get 2 and get some hooks that screw in wood and fit in the slots on the brackets............get a scrap wood cut it to size of power strip mount the strip so the wood and the strip even(make sure it is tight mount ) now mount the brackets in the dresser back wall keep the size so the hooks will beable to hang .mount the hooks on the wood and hang 3 sockets evenly spaced 3 cfl 6500k for veggie/2700k for flowering .......get cfls look on the back there should be little box that tells u ....those are the strenghts u want for the job they are low heat

the mounting system will allow u to adjust the lights in 1/2.....cfls have been knowen to get as close as 2 1/2 inchs from plant and doing no harm

u can use this kind of tape ........the sliver reflective metal kind no duct tape of cheap clear packing tape it defeats the reason for being inside


if u do not know what type your stuff is here is how u do it when it is half way up (half way the tallest u can let it go) change the lights from 6500k to 2700k and use some flower starters ......half way becuase the plant will strech in flowering so u need to leave room.............the very last resort if growing to fast to tall clip the feeder leaves it does stunt the growth and over all yield but keeps from burning self.........more u cut the bigger the reduction in growth and yeild on feeder leaves


Nurts............i have no idea i am learning myself and ppl seem less inclined to share tips about it so good luck man


hope it helps

You need to be concerned about bugs and fungus. The problem I see is that it is not sealed up tight. I have never done a dresser grow but I have done several large grows and my problems were fungus and bugs. They are hard to get rid of. Nuits - just visit a hydroponic shop and see what kind of options are available. I did house and garden, the most expensive $800 per cycle of 72 plants, and general hydroponics Flora line $100 per cycle of 72 plants. They both produced about the same for me. Growing is not a problem that can be solved, it is an ever evolving problem that constantly needs to be attacked. Most people I talk to that do this try multiple different things over the years. Try not to get frustrated. I did a few successful grows in Ebb and Flo and then read about Heath Robinson's tree grows and immediatly converted all my next runs to that method and it failed due to fungus. I should have tried it on a small scale first. Spend a lot of time on these forums and youtube. I imagine that the local library has a lot of books on growing marijuana as well. I buy the books myself as I like to have a reference on hand.

Check out my dresser grow for a few ideas if you're interested!

Biggest things to take into account when growing a small space would be:

Sufficient Lighting
Controlling heat
Circulating air (exhaust & intake fan)
Not letting the plant outgrow your space!

Hmmmm lets see...
What are ur dementions?
Wats ur spending limit?
How many plants?
Are u going stealth ro do u care about the beautifull smell?

To go fairly inexpensive
Go to walmart getur self some window caulk seal all the corners let it fully set grab a few cans of flat whitespray paint depending on size spray all sides well enough so u dont have lines or wood showing through. Go to home depot and grab 2 4inch inline fans, on the rear wall cut one hole to fit one fan left or right bottom for intake n cut one rear wall opisite end on top for exaust (diagonal from eachother)go back to walmart get a small oscilating clip fan mount it in the corner above ur intake to keep air circulation.if you havnt thrown away the drawrs cut a piece of ply wood that fits the interior paint the inside white, mount the drawrsto the back as if to make it look like a functioning dresserwen placed on the front (hope this makes sense) if u have gaps between the drawrs paint the front of plywood black before mounting the drawrs I hope the dresser front made sense. It shud come out pretty bad@$$ now go build my cab!! Lol jokin ive never done a small grow but thot my 2cents may b worth more than 2cents. Peace
