Hello AFN!
I have decided to place my DIY space bucket in here, rather than in the DIY section. My Space Bucket was used with the K.I.S.S. method. I have created it by having negative pressure inside the bucket, rather than having equal amounts of fans for intake and exhaust. Which seems like it kept the temperature down in the bucket.
I did have a grow in it from a few months back. Here's the grow journal.
Here's the Bucket itself. Bucket, lid, and tape were bought from walmart, and the fans were bought from Microcenter:
The inside of the bucket and the lid:
Here's the hygrometer I use to check the temperature inside the bucket, as well as the room temperature and Relative Humidity. This was bought at my local hydroponics store:
I use 2 CFLs connected to a "Y" socket adapter, and an outlet to light socket adapter so I can connect it to an extension cord, in order to adjust my lights accordingly. I have also took them apart to show you what each piece looks like. These socket adapters were bought from Lowes:
This is the "pot" I used to place my soil and seed into:
Note: I understand that the bucket and my pot is dirty. These pictures were saved onto my computer after I have harvested my plant.
Note1: I believe the hottest it ever gotten inside the bucket was around 98 Degrees Fahrenheit (~36.7 Degrees Celsius). It wasn't for long periods, probably peaked up there like about 3-4 times throughout the whole grow.
