Hey everyone,
Im a little late starting my journal due to late modifications to the box as it was run through its first weeks of use. Im doing a soil grow, 4 plants 1 Mr. Nice Guy, the other 3 Irene Kush, im using a modified moveable batwing style light mount for my CFLS, 5 in line ( front to rear and 2 wings side to side). The Box is 4ft tall by 3 feet deep by 28in. Wide. Im running 2 active air intakes and 1 high velocity 9in. Exhaust fan mounted ontop. Soil, is fox farms ocean forest and mix of perlite, manure and compost. Im using Advanced Hydroponics line of nutrients, FloraGro, FloraMicro, FloraBloom and Rapid Root Starter. The 3 youngest plants are 8 days old and the 1 is 15 days old and very mature. All look healthy to me the Mr. Nice Guy plant is the largest in the photos. I am planning to allow 15-20 more days of VEG. Time then flower for 30 days or so. The CFLS I am using are a mixture of 2700K and 6500k bulbs at a 80/20 ratio, using 4 200 watt, 4 150 watt, several 100 watt as well as a few mixed totaling 15 bulbs at the moment ( more will be added for flowering ) 44,550 lumens, and 454 actual watts. I have a digital timer for light control as well as a fan control unit and a hydrometer/thermometer inside the box showing highs and lows for that 24 hour period. Let me know what you think any advice would be great this is my first solo grow.
If anyone is interested I have full schematics for the box plus light fixture amd wiring diagram if you are interested in doing something similar let me know ill gladly send you the schematics. Box cost was around $65 and light fixture plus hangers, etc $40, and ventilation equipment $20-50 depending on what you can salvage and convert.
