Stealth Box CFL Grow Journal (PICS)

Butthead08 · #1 07-12-2008, 10:01 PM

Hey all! Just wanted to show everyone our newest set-up, a stealth-box we made. Everything's straight from wal-mart, and it was super easy. Here are some pics. We planted these little girls in our main grow room while our stealth-box was under construction. Since our grow room is switching to the flowering cycle for our older plants, we decided to make the grow box for our vegetating plants.

Let us know what you think! Here's the pics:

#1, 2, 3: Construction phase of the stealth box. We have 4 26W CFLs and mylar over the whole inside. We also cut holes for 2 intakes and 1 exhaust. Temps are good.
#4: The completed box glowing in the closet.
#5 - 11: Pics of our new seedlings in their new home.

We'll keep you updated throughout life in the box, and then the main growroom. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!!

Very nice man. Looks great! I didn't know that those plug-in Y CFLs existed. Keep us posted on how the little babies turn out.

Its actually a two piece setup. The Y's are plugged into another piece then into the surge. Goto home depot and check them out. I will keep ya updated.

So how has the tent been working out for you? I thought about one of those before, but wasn't sure how well it would work.

Hi all! Here's an update on our stealth box grow! It's day 6, and our seedlings are doing well. With the exception of a possible mutant, everything is great!

A question - When transplanting a jiffy pot, should we just drop the whole thing in a bigger pot of soil, or should we take the plant OUT of the jiffy pot and replant it in soil?

We're going to need to transplant soon, so answers would be appreciated! Check out our pics below:

#1: An outside view of the stealth box
#2: Seedling #1
#3: Seedling #2, one of the better ones!
#4: The mutant seedling... you think so too?
#5: Seedling #3
#6: The biggest seedling
