I built a box out of 3/4 plywood. It has intake at the bottom and an exhaust box on top that has a compartment for charcoal.

I had 6 Lambsbread clones delivered by my local San Francisco club. They were vegged for 9 days. Right now they've been flowering for 12 days.

18" x 24" x 48"
250W of CFL's (6 x 42W)
Soil is home made from my compost, tea, etc.
Six plants in one gallon containers.

The big jar in the corner is kombucha. I make this anyways so may as well put it in the box for the co2.

You are better at carpentry than I am for sure! every time I've tried to build a box, it never fits together!

I like how you hung your lights... What is it that attached to the 2 way socket? cant tell very well from the pics.

Also whats the PH of your soil? I've heard that home made compost can vary in PH depending on what you have in it...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

I don't have plans for the box. It is built into a corner of the closet that has three walls already, so all I had to do was build the front with the door and the top. I attached these two pieces to the wall with 1" metal angle brackets that are used in house construction. I only had to put 4 holes in the wall. I would be happy to answer any questions about building a box.

Attached to the lights, if you mean the black things, is something I was using to hang a reflector in a previous setup.

I don't know my soil's PH.

My plants just got a nice dose of compost tea. I made it with a handful of homemade 3 year old compost, some aloe vera from a plant here, kelp and agave. I love brewing these teas. I'm just getting into it. I bought a pump and two bubblers for about $20. and it works great in the one gallon container I brew in.

I'm so interested in organics and have been learning a lot. I've been able to apply what I know about human body ecology and its microorganisms, fungus and yeast, to plants and soil. I researched and self-experimented with body ecology for ten years with various products and methods. It turned out that none of the products worked as well as the basic real stuff. For example you can buy the most expensive probiotics on the market and they won't work as well as kefir that you can make at home for the cost of milk. I take the same approach to organic growing, where I see good compost, for example, as the most effective thing for soil ecology so I don't buy products for that (or anything else).

Very good sir, I like it, simple, I have a client who needs one of these and it will probably fit his lower end grow style needs. +rep. First one yet.
