hey guys and gals!!! well i wanted to cut down on the amount of space in my room that i was using. i should have taken a pic of how i originally had my set up. i made a curtain from black material that was 5ft wide, i cut 4 pieces about 8ft tall, sewed two pieces together to make it a little less than 10ft across, sewed the other two together and sewed them on top to make it 2xthick. i then suspended it from the cieling to the floor to make a 3x6 room around the window with the ac in it. it just took up too much room and i was loosing a lot more light than i am now.................So here goes........
i started out by making the margins(2x2) with yarn. the wood in the pics are (1 1/2x1 1/2). i had a friend with a table saw trim a 6ft 2x6 that i had laying around(zero dollars)to a 5 ft piece, then he ripped it twice for me.(very nice of him not to charge me anything.
next i screwd in the top and middle pieces of the frame for stability
then screwd in the other top part to connect the remaining piece.
screwed it to the wall to make sure it doesn't shift.
try to imagine the large sheet of fabric hanging from the cieling completely past the window and wrapped around to go to the other wall.
this is the fabric(which was a gift $0)
snip snip snip snip snip
i cut out and screw on the side piece
snip snip snip snip snip
then the top. i cut it big so i could cut it out while it was on top.
and use the extra to make another layer.
almost there...........................
now to cut the out the door
snip snip snip snip snip
starting to take form.
i cut some holes in the top to run the chains.
hung my fan in place and turned it on.
and to fix the flapping, i only screwed in one part of the door at the bottom so to let the air out..... and thats the finished project. I ordered some solor emergency blankets from ebay to put inside for reflectivity. when it gets here i will put it on the inside and take some more pics.
updates: i have 4 plants, (3 seedlings and a revegging mother), in veg right now. i mixed a peat moss soil together when i first started with the mother. it turned out not to be worth a diddley squat and i used miracle grow all purpose plant food. it lacks a few trace elements, but the plant survived. i am getting FFOF this friday, 4(3 gallon pots), and some floraNova grow and bloom.i was going to wait and take clones from the mother and use the FF with those but at the rate she grows in the soil i mixed idk if it would be faster to restart fresh or to wait it out or just continue to grow what i have into the scrog i hope it will be. oh yeah i am going to do a 4 plant scrog. the deminsions are 2x2x5. the pots are 9in tall, i want to grow the plants to a foot tall, so thats 21in. hopefully they will fill in the screen before the branches are past the 3 ft mark on the wall cause then they will surely outgrow their house when they r fully flowering. i hope they dont get past 4ft on the wall when they have fully flowered cause i want to keep my light at least a ft away. the temp stays about 77 with the 600w light a ft away. please feel free to give any information on what you would do. hope you enjoyed the pic. there will be more to come, and feel free to stay tuned.
