pic 1 you still need to add 30% perlite to that soil mix, even if just to raise that base to winthin 1/2 an inch of the pot rim, will also dilute hot soil effects and reduce root compaction.

your light situation just sucks consider a mid range led or at leat 3-6 cfls' of mixed kelvin 50/50 cool white/ warm white mix, and a small fan

even cfls racks .. https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/a-collection-of-diy-ghetto-blasters.30154/

T8/T5 need to be lowered to within 1-2 inches of the leaf tips for the lights to actually work!

no this is indoor grow my friend. and its gonna stay that way till i stop growing. which is probably never. im getting a 400w hps very soon. but from what iv heard its a huge difference to just get the 600w

yeah im good with carpentry as well. but not sure what to make it out of and if i did build one i feel the tent would be better. but not sure any ideas of creating one? my budget is very small the smaller the better but i am always willing to throw extra funds if its worth it. not a lot though

thanks for the links! gonna look into this. im between building and using a grow tent.

d go for the tent so you get a good idea on how to set up
, it's all there for you in a tent. I only suggestef a grow box because it can be cheaper, but a tent will actually teach you how to set up a box properly.
