Default The Homemade $100 Grow box
Welcome to my grow...

So i'm on a pretty tight budget.
I've had to buy parts to put this together a few paychecks at a time.
I pretty much love Horticulture, growing plants as a hobby, and enjoying the harvest my own hands have created.
thats mostly why im doing this grow right now.

The Idea...
I wanted to create a box with 3 seperate chambers.
A flower room that could hold 2 good sized plants for my light set up, which i think would be 3-4' high. (based on previous grows)
the girls will have 24" x 18" each of side room
A small chillaxin veg room thats 3'h x 2'd x 10"w of open space.
then a exhaust/ dry curing room thats 2'h x 2'd x 10"w

The cost...
for the frame work I built my grow box using 12, 8' strips of 1/2" x 1.5"
So called 1" x 2"s from Home DePot
$1.15 per strip = $ 13.80
To cover it I used 4 sheets of 8' x 4' 1/8" hardboard
$6.88 per sheet = 27.52
1 qt of flat white latex paint $5.00
1 roll of reflective aluminum tape, $3.00
1 box of 1.5" self drilling black screws $5.00
1 roll of high density insulation foam tape $4.00
1 25' roll of 2mil mylar $25.00 from local hydroponics store
2 square 3 gallon planters $10.00
1 1.5 cubic ft bag of Fox Farm Ocean forest Soil, $13.00
So thats a total of $106.82 so its a little more, but
Thats it...
I already had Light bulbs/ set up from my previous home made hydroponic closet grow.
I also still have a few half full bottles of organic hydro nutes that can be used on soil as well.
The plants are being given to me by a fellow OMMP card holder.
not sure on the exact strain though, I know the mother looks
like a MILF though. and Tastes great

I ended up not being able to get the clones.
So I used seeds from a pretty good crop.

Because of the Size of my planters, I can only fit 2 containers in the flower space. I could probably fit 3 or 4 plants in the flower space. Atleast untill I fugure out which are male/female. I dont have it set up yet though. So im just doing the full grow in the flower space for this run.
