So here's the deal, I've been fiddling around with the idea of growing but haven't had the balls to do it yet. Then one day my homeboy and I split a quarter of some stuff called "berrylishous" (idk if that's really the name) and he found a seed, planted it in some random soil, and called me a couple weeks later. He said it looked like it was dying and may have been overwatered from the rain we'd been getting down in Texas the past few weeks.
I took her (i hope) home, transplanted into happy frog soil, and set her outside after a generous watering to see if she can come back from the shock he gave. There are only two little leaflets popped up from the soil and it's still growing upward, albeit very slowly. The leaflets are brownish and I'll start a separate thread about bringing her back after I finish the box.
I got a free afternoon today and when I got home I scoured my yard for something to grow in and found an old 90s looking fridge to gut. Pulled the interior out except for the cooling plate and hung three 23w 6500k CFLs and one 14w 2700k CFL from the inside. Cut the door up and added two small computer fans for exhaust and one bigger computer fan for intake, then cut up a computer power supply to make a fan controller. I set a wireless thermometer inside and the receiver on top and a manual hygrometer/thermometer on the bottom shelf where the plant will be.
I have some RV sewage hose, unused, that I thought I could run to one of my exhaust fans for my house and use it to pull some fresh air into the box via the intake fan. I can attach it as needed or detach it to make the fridge look less growboxy and more fridgelike. I don't know what else I need to do for this budget grow box to make it suitable to grow.
My upstairs room goes anywhere from 80 to 90 degrees in the summer but with my AC circulating upstairs it usually settles around 80 degrees and I have a drier built into the AC so I can reduce the house's humidity as necessary. What would you guys recommend I do before I bring her into her new home?
