Here is a tangent to my previous thread Seedling/Clone Tub and where the seedlings will eventually end up as soon as the air flow and lighting is worked out in these boxes as well. test plant in the soil box for now is a tomato plant.

Here are the pictures.

Basement temp on the cement floor in the winter is keeping it cool right now, I will be placing a PC fan and passive intake in it after I determine exactly how to do it and keep it looking like the rest of the junk in the basement.

Stay tuned for plant development in this box as well as my flowering box yet to come! That is the one I am most excited about.

By the way everybody, don't want to buy mylar at the grow shop? Buy it at Party Warehouse or any party supply place. Go to the section with bags and look for the bag stuffing. Mylar should be there.

Thanks Tom, those are tomato plants that are just there for testing. The tomato plant really belongs to my fiance and kids.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have extra mylar so I'm going to finish it all the way to the bottom in mylar. I would never have believed that one 100W equivalent CFL could shine so bright.

Pictures to be posted soon and maybe some rockwool in the DWC later tonight also. I gotta do something to keep the poor plants alive and I'm not around enough to keep them moist.

I'm going to go back to Root Riot Organic starter cubes. Those were so much easier than rockwool and much cleaner than dirt.

Door open...


Tomato plants...


Ok on to the smaller boxes:

I drilled holes in the front of the box, forgot to take the picture of it.

Air goes in through the front and passes through the fans on the top of the box. They are 115V fans with a speed control knob.


Close up...


Closer on the control knob...


Closer on the fan...


On the top of the box I keep my nutrients...


Sadly, the DWC with the rockwool is not working out so hot...


But there are some fighters left still.

The soil box...


Soil box empty... and dirty...


One sick little puppy... grew mostly in rockwool and was dying so I transplanted carefully to soil and it is hanging in there...


Porn...







The weakest link...

Show me some love, questions comments or concerns are all welcome. I'm just flushing the weak plant in soil with water right now because it seems like he has a N problem from the MG mix. I foliage feed daily all of the plants.

wats going on man, from what i see in the dwc...it looks as if the rockwool is too wet. Either you need to lower the res solution amount to were it barely sprinkles the bottom or raise the rockwool up and put some more clay balls underneath it to raise the rockwool. I used to have the same problems when I first started off. I was basically drowning em cause the cubes stayed too damp. Try that and it should help, it promotes root growth! And that one scraggly looking one, just foliar feed it water for a couple of days and let it perk up a lil. It looks a lil burnt. But all in all ur not looking too bad. Nice innovative thinking building ur own stuff, I did the same and built my own rubbermaid setup.
