150w HPS Grow Box

Included Parts:

• 2-4inch duvt fans (80cfm each) Intake fans
• 4inch active air fan (170cfm)-exhaust fan
• 4by12in active carbon filter
• 150w hps
• 2-2ft t5 flourscent lamps
• 6 pot DWC
• Air pump with 12inch air stone

The plan is to be a strict flowering chamber but have a very good source for clones right now so i am planning on vegging for about two-three weeks at 18-6 then switch to flowering and run 12-12. Eventually will have a flower cabinet with some t5s and will two mothers that i switch of take clones from.

The cabinet in total is about 35 by 69 inches.

I have the carbon filter hooked up to my 4inch exhaust fan which is on top of the box and the ducting runs threw the top of the box to the exhaust fan then ducting from the exhaust fan strait outside with a outside vent covering the exhaust. Also have two 4inch duct fans located at the bottom sucking in colder air. Finally the whole box is covered in white panda film, and the top the DWC has duct taping for reflection.

Not sure on nutes yet. Money is a bit tight but eventually will be running fox farm nutes.


Any comments or advice or critizim is helpfull and appreciated.

The Pictures:

Lookin good so far dood! Overkillin it with the ventilation but hell its better to do that than not have enough!

Haha ya i know but its my hope to someday expand to a bigger grow box so i figured i would buy all the ventelation i needed

I got the exact same hps light fixture bro , how close do you keep the light above the plants.
I've had my about 15-16 inches from mine , its 21 days old .. around 7-8 inches high , with 30 real good visible leaves.

i keep my 150 like 5-6 inches above

Ya im think around 8 to 9 inches usually but a bit farther away when there still rooting from clones, but i would say 15-16 is a bit much and might cause stretching but if space is no issue then your all good

i got that same 150 hps light, works great!

yeah , the light is 14-15 inches above , temp stays around 81 is why i got them that high ..
but the plant isnt stretching upwards to much at all .. my plant is 20 days old exactly, its around 7-7.5 inches tall , with 5 levels .. around 30 good healthy visisble leaves , so i guess imma leave it that distance?
