Tired of seeing the light from under the door everynight, I made a grow box. Its made of 2x3's
6' tall - 6' long and 2' wide
it is a wood frame with a 13/56 wood floor. all the walls are made of 1/2 inch R-tech Insulfoam.
( White side with print is facing out and the reflective metalic side face into my grow box.
The door is 4 ft wide and is made of triple stiched canvas hanging from top of the frame.
With that,
I have 4 plants in theis room I just out from under 4 floresent 4' tube lights on 20 on 4 off.
I put them in the new box with a newly purchased 1000w HPS it hangs roughly 5'6" from the bottom of the box and the plants are a rough 4 feet from the light.
the plants where in the box for around six hours the other night before I checked on them, I noticed that the light was 2 much for them and that they where wilted pretty bad and a lot of the leaves where very badly dried and crumbled on touch.
I changed back to the floresents and I would like to know what I need to do to make this 1000w hps work....
Please Help.
