eBay grow box

agreed. you will get a much better setup if u do it your self.

Would never buy a box off ebay. Just get a U-Haul Moving box, with the metal clothes rack (for hanging the light) for $12. Get 2-3 cans of gloss white spray paint and paint the inside for $10. Get some duct tape to seal it up for $5-10. Get a Marker and Box Cutter for $10. Get some fans from walmart for $10 a piece. Save your money on the box and spend it on the light. Get a 500w Blackstar LED for it, smaller than HID, saves electricity, you wont have to worry about heat with it, and it wont be a fire hazard in a condo.

I built a sweet U-Haul Grow Box for a buddy of mine, wish i had pics. The carboard box box is so easy to modify, you can get creative with it, make it really nice.

I would grow in soil for your first grow, the U-Haul Box can do 2-3 Plants. Use good soil and good nutes with the LED and you are set. Try X Nutrients 3 Stage with the Nutrient Spray.

You should spend $100 on growing supplies, including box, and $500-600 for a light

After the carboard box, my next option would be a mylar grow tent for $100

Thanks for the info! Was originally looking at led , but read some negative reports on this forum. There are 2 500w blackstar LED lights on the site, which one would work better? Like the idea of the tent, will look into it. And soil sounds like a good start.
Appreciate any advice.

I have an LED and HPS and each has there own application. I am about to buy another LED myself because I am that impressed with what I have seen. For small spaces LED is way better. A quality LED, like the 500w Blackstar, should have no problems at all and yield exceptional results. I would disregard the negative info you heard.

Get the flowering model of the 500w Blackstar. You can veg with this light and bloom with it:

Here is the Nutes you should get. They are the most simple and best priced IMO. Get the spray too: http://www.xnutrients.com/

Here is a 3x3 grow tent for $89: http://www.ebay.com/itm/36-x-36-x-78-3-x-3-Ft-100-Reflective-Mylar-Hydroponic-Indoor-Grow-Room-Tent-/230781840893?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35bbab6dfd

Get this fan and filter for the tent: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Inline-Fan-Carbon-Filter-Combo-Odor-Control-Kit-Hydrponics-Grown-Tent-New-UL-/160792534836?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256ffb5f34

Get good soil from Home Depot or the Garden Store. And get a cheap fan for inside and you are set.

Dont waste your money cost way too much and you can makes one yourself a whole lot cheaper.

Thanks for the info. I can use that model led for the whole grow? I only need exhaust no intake fan? What to look for in soil, any specific kind?

I'm excited to get started , just picked up [h=1]Marijuana Grow Basics: The Easy Guide for Cannabis Aficionados![/h]

Do some reading and you'll understand. That box is a piece of crap.

Yes, you can use that light for the whole grow, no problem.

For a small box, you don't necessarily need an intake fan, just a hole for fresh air, you do want a fan inside circulating the air.

As far as soil, I would buy a bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic potting soil, you can also just use Miracle Grow potting mix if you want.
I like the X Nutrients, but you also might want to consider Fox Farm nutrients: http://www.amazon.com/Fox-Farm-FX14050-Fertilizer-Hydro-Formula/dp/B000HY2IXQ

Make sure to use the X Nutes spray on your leaves and buds and the results should be insane.

Yeah man, read your book, its by Jorge Cervantes, you will get the idea.

If u are gonna do it, you might as well order good seeds from Amsterdam. You can buy individual feminized seeds online.
