DIY Grow box I built :)

[Autoflowerpower420]

I built this using (5) 3/4"x4'x2' sheets of particle board, 2 temporary doorway fans, 10x10 sheet of panda film (only used about half of it), caulk, 3/4" weather stripping, I've got (2) 23 watt 2700k cfl's, (1) 26 watt 2700k cfl, and one 32 watt 2700k cfl, and (4) 23 watt 6500k cfl's. I've got many more and some backups but not enough light socket adapters or i would have more in there, pretty cheap though so I might get more. It's my first project on a grow box. It was completely air tight before I put the fans in, I lit incense put it in for about 3 minutes and couldn't smell anything. I plan on getting the 250 watt sunburst ballast at some point and a 400 cfm fan with a carbon filter in the next month. Got seeds in the mail coming to me. I bought 2 royal queen white widow autos, 1 dinafem amnesia auto, 1 Barney's farm Pineapple Express, and one auto super hash, got an ak49 free seed. Probably gonna grow the amnesia first cause that seems to have the highest yield out of the seeds I've got. I will do updates on the grow when they get to me so stay tuned! Tell me what you think! I'm pretty proud of it

Hey AFP420,

That is cool my friend.. Should grow you some nice smoke for sure. You should go introduce yourself in the new user's forum. People can get to know you better that way, then you can swing them over to your post if you want. Hopefully we can get to see you grow something in there yes? I got a photo amnesia haze going right now myself.

Good luck and hope to see more


Peace

Eek

hey Autoflowerpower420

great looking set up so far!

you should defiantly check out this sticky on CFL lighting:
https://www.autoflower.org/f103/cfl-orientation-distance-charts-16904.html

It had a bunch of information on how to maximise the potential of CFL's, such as orientation of the bulb (horizontal/vertical) distance, ect....

also as MasterEekman said, defiantly introduce yourself. also i would advise you get a grow journal going in the new growers section, if this is indeed your first grow. there is a ton of useful information on there, and even more people to help you out if you have any questions with any aspect of growing.

hope you have a big plant and a bigger yield!

peace,
trustfullytasty
