My current first grow

I dunno... when I first started reading and started my grow I had read something about that they are almost like us in terms of certain heat and cold conditions. Too hot for you then it's hot for them in the room..hand test kinda thing. Same with the cold. I took note of whenever I make a change...

Is your box insulated? If not you may have temp issues.

Well if temps in the grow room are going to dip that low with autos they will be alright but growth will still be slowed. Not sure on how much that can affect yield in the end but I think its extends the time to harvest. Thus why mine are going to go an extra few weeks due the the cold even...

Can still mess the seeds up lol... most likely that's big production type standards as well. They quote when they are able to achieve the best grow environment for that strain.

It was during the early stages of my grow. During veg is when plants can be abused but also when they need to grow due to mine being autos as well. Anytime temps get below 58 degrees (14.4 celsius?) plant growth will stop. Like a hibernation to survive maybe? I think that's what someone has said...

Autos should do well still I would think. I still avoid trying to get lower then what I've mentioned.

California. I grow in a garage and it dips into the low 50 degrees fahrenheit (10 celsius) outside my garage and in my tent inside gets to about 60 degrees or 15ish celsius.

Grow goals .... I want this!

How many do you plan on having in there?

Oh man if I seen that I would sooooo know it's a grow box LOL would anyone be able to see that near by? Is it insulated?

It's going to be out in the open?

I think you would need a reflective type paint. Most whites are going to be great and if you get them glossy or in latex it will be easy to clean. Of course you will have to worry about scratching the paint and letting it dry of course.

Paint would be easy to clean. But the mylar is a bit more reflective. What space is your box? Can you post more shots :D

Oh nice!!! I would either paint it or line it with the film. I really am liking your box!

It's like trying to use a mirror in a grow room. Would think it would reflect? It loses light through the backing. Same with aluminum foil. https://www.420magazine.com/forums/how-to-grow-marijuana/71133-mirrors-good-reflecting-light.html

I was going to go with the space blanket route too ..but the cost for a 4x4x6.6 would of been annoying to try and build. To save time and money I just got a tent for like $120. I could of tried and got a tiny 2x2x2 for like $60 but ...why? I wanted a real yield. :bigjoint:

But if you have a DIY room to begin with then you can also paint it. Which from what I was just reading is that it is easier to clean.
