Well i have finaly got round to to starting an on going thread on my creation.... I have been building this since Xmas just gone and would have had a grow just finishing about now but had a few mold problems so i scaped the whole lot because i was on going on holiday and it would have been hard for me to correct let alone my house mate who has no idea where to start... anyway a bit more about the box.
Diamentions:
It stands just over 4ft tall about 3ft wide and 1.1ft deep.
Lighting:
the flowering section is powerd by a Phillips 250w hps (lowbay fitting) cut up and turned into a remote ballast light, the mother room is powerd by 40w of CLF's. i know people will think this is over kill for the floering room but wait until you see how they grow... Very tight nodes!
Ventilation:
9 well placed 12v pc fan's (2 pulling air out of the box just under reflector, 2 pulling air into the box on the floor of the flowering room, 2 glued to a bracket inside flowering room [these can be ajusted to blow on the plants or across the bulb] and 1 pulling air from the mother room in to the floering room... this does'nt affect the running temp but the mold problems i had were due to still air in the mother room. Lastly there are 5 passive 90deg vents just above the pot line.
I hav'nt decided what style to grow yet i have a scrog cage that fits in here too, but i think once i get a few females that im happy with then im going to sog them in 2L cola bottles.. I could easily fit 10 in there.. But for now im just focasing on getting a few good ladys to get the whole thing going.
I have decided to grow out my old seeds so im stating in small 4" breeders pots with 50/50 soil & prilite 2 x Nirvana Blue Mystic, 2 x Cali Orange Bud and 2 x DP Skunk #11 (femed just in case).
Well thats it for now, the seeds were only planted yesterday so in a few days i should be back with some seedling pictures to get this thread a bit more intresting.
I forgot to add the running temps: night temps are between 15-17 deg c and day temps are betwwen 24-26 degs C.
