Well if done properly, there's nothing wrong with a closet grow! just don't forget about ventilation.

probably the most expensive unit was the Homebox at about 350 bucks.

You could make your own for a lot less though. I might to do so for my upcoming vegging/cloning room.

Default Day 43
Well for a while i though growth had slowed down, but now i can definitely see the "budlets" and A LOT of pistils!

The Bubblegums especially are doing great! The NLX on the other hand are going through something bizarre. Some of the leaves are turning paler green in a weird way (check 4th pic). Obviously it's not a Mg o Mn def as i previously thought. Perhaps they still need and extra dose of N? hmm...

I just watered them today so they're all happy and perky

Can I get a pic of the filter and fan setup. A couple of pics would be even better. I am waiting on my HomeBox L right now and need to get the right inline fan and carbon filter. What kind did you go with?working good? Thanks bud....

You'll love the Homebox L! my only regret was that I didn't get the XL.

I'm not sure what the brand is (doesn't really matter for these accessories) but it's a 6" inline fan that moves about 260 CFM (cubic feet per minute).

Notice that i have a layer of carbon pre-filter around the filter itself. This increases odor reduction and filters out dust, etc. I have to say I'm extremely impressed with the effectiveness of the carbon filter. My Homebox is in my bedroom and I don't smell anything outside of it. I have the duct tube blowing air out near the window. This also keeps cool fresh air coming in. Under a 400w HPS in the Homebox L you'll definitely want some cool air coming in.

I also added a small clip-fan to my Homebox to keep air moving within the grow room so that more CO2 is made available to the leaves, as well as to rip and toughen up those stems.

Hope you find my pics helpful. If not, let me know and i'll take some better pics tomorrow.

I have it just outside of the Homebox it's much safer that way.

That sounds like a good size fan; especially for the 600w HPS. It can get pretty hot in the Homebox if the ventilation isn't proper. And good thing you have a cooltube!

are you getting a carbon filter as well?
