Greetings everyone, Long time member fairly new poster. First and foremost I'd like to say thank you all for all the posts and info, you guys made a lot of things easier. It took be a bit to read everything, I didnt mind thought it was interesting,...Gf however wasnt so thrilled lol. Let me say that I started out building my grow boxes out of convience. I had the basic know how and access to materials. I've done a few successful grows now with these make shift boxes and the equipment that I could afford. So needless to say I had a 400mh without proper ventilation other then desk fans and oscillating fans. Which meant that I had to keep doors open and nothing was light tight. The boxes were heavy to move and breaking them down if lets say an insurance inspector has to come and check every inch of the house. So after I tore my boxes down and made them disappear it was too much time and effort. I am now the proud owner of a SUN HUT XL 56"x56"x78" It has a reflective mylar interior, draw string vent ports, front and rear door access, completly light tight and a good heavy fabric. The thing weighs about 85lbs with aluminum poles for a frame. I also picked up a 6" active air inline fan that moves 400cfm. Then I ran out of money lol. My next purchase hopefully in the next few weeks will be a lumatek 1000 switchable ballast with a cool tube. I plan on running a independant DWC set-up with 4 buckets to start. I want two of the buckets occupying the back of my tent under a SCROG and the other two out in front with another two strains. This will still leave me plenty of room to start up some auto's and what not in pro-mix for fun. I'd like to find a good strain of auto's for breeding so I can have a bunch of seeds for future bumper crops, ....variety is the spice of life of course. I will definetly be starting a journal as soon as all the peices come together and I make my strain selection for the maiden voyage. Anyways I'm now a Grow tent member, I have to go tho, My gf is telling me to stop typing lol ....cheers folks for now. Pics will come shortly.....( shes going away for a week on sunday so pics after that lol )
