Okey dokie Smokies!!!! I did a little updating to the box today. Got my inline booster fan, cardboarded and duct taped all the dumb ass holes I made and hooked it up the way I was supposed to in the first place, lol. Third construction on the box and hopefully the last. Here's some pics of the new and improved "jungle"

What's the verdict?
:peace:

*Edit* I forget to mention I also wrapped that shitty caulking job with some duct tape to seal it off better.

much better. Shit was like 100 degrees sitting out there on the deck, at least that's what that shitty thermo said, put it together and put it away and ten minutes later it dropped ten degrees already. It's definitely the way to go. A bit expensive for a fucking fan but worth it in the end.
Get your supplies?

TRUE. Once is enough, lol especially to strangers. So since you still haven't gotten those mysterious supplies yet how are the girls taking the heat?

That's what it was. Keep on reading there's lots of pics and shit. I updated the box twice from the original tin foil lined box because that was keeping the temps too high. You wanna keep your temps in the low 70's because that's when photosynthesis works best. The shitty fans I had weren't cutting it. This new set up is waaaay better. More room for the roots, more room to grow, more lights and better air flow. Keep on reading the thread, I like to think it's a pretty cool thread and I am keeping it well updated.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.

You can skip through all the convo stuff generally unless it's kinda long then it'll probably have lots of info, just jump to the pics and you can see how I updated the box.

True!!! I was speaking generally but you're absolutely correct. Speaking of which I've been thinking of doing up some CO2 for my plants but the recipes vary so much i kinda just stopped looking but what I compiled so far was: 2Tbsp yeast, 1 cup sugar, like 2/3 bottle of warm water(2l bottle), hose sticking out of top of bottle and feeding into where the plants are from above. Sound about right? If so might be my next project!!

WOW cool man thanks that's really flattering but don't make the same mistakes I did. I tried to do things cheap and messed up a bit. That new fan was the biggest and best investment so far. The fan itself was like 28 bucks, then I had to get a cord for it so I bought a relacement cord for a powertool, you can use any heavier duty three pronged extension cord and just cut the female end off but I didn't have one I could spare so that was like another 8 bucks and the fitting to attach it to the box was like 6 bucks so in all like 45 bucks( I also bought the cappers for the exposed wires and some electrical tape) but in the end if I can grow smokable herb it was ALLLLL worth it. I appreciate you liking my set up so much and all but I also have to say that it's not at all the best set up for growing. It's actually a kinda shitty set up really but, if you intend to do it this way anyway I suggest you really really really pay attention to your plants. I mean a lot. Things can heat up in these boxes really fast and that's dangerous for your plants so you gotta be on top of shit like crazy. That and if you can I'd say spring for some better soil and ferts than I did, I personally was not able to so i did what i could but if you can I think it'll make a world of difference. Again if you do decide to go with a set up like this, keep in touch and if there's anything I can help you out with let me know.

Also set it up and get it running before you even germ your new seeds. That way you'll know for sure you're putting your babies into the best environment you were able to.
Good luck!

ill stroll over there capo...

yo mk I got a good DIY CO2 thread somewhere else. Ill have to find it and get back to you, but as soon as I get my supplies in the mail. Im starting out with a new grow "box" (fridge), a complete overhaul on the ventelation, and a CO2 generator. It should be fun, and It won't cost me more than 30 bucks! (the vent. overhaul is a surprise, its not my idea, but it should be a cool project)

Cool man sounds awesome. Yeah let me know if you can find that CO2 thread. I'd like to try to get one set up today if possible. What were you planning on using for CO2?
