Hey, I've been lurking the forum for a bit but just registered. Usually when I look something up in Google the best answers come from here so I decided to join. I'm nearly done with my first grow box and wanted to share and maybe get some design advice.
I don't have a lot of cash so I tried to use things I had around. I took a box that had been used to ship an engine and put a door on it, caulked it up and painted the interior flat white. The exhaust holes are 3" PVC elbows and the intake are 2". As soon as I get some more motivation I'll increase the intake's to 3" and paint them black.
For the exhaust I was thinking I could just screw 2 four inch computer fan's over the exhaust holes, put a DC converter in there and be done with it. The dimensions are 32"H 24"W 18.5D. I won't be growing any giant trees in there but it should be enough to LST 2 or 3 plants?
I got the PVC lighting idea from another thread in this forum. The only thing I did differently was put two T's on the ends and run a smaller diameter pipe through it with some easily adjustable bolts to keep it in place.Other than that I'll be running four 42W CFL's in the 2700K spectrum. I know they say 6500K for Veg but this is a budget grow and I don't have any of those around.
