Good evening ladies and gentlemen!

Here's the deal:

Size: 24"W x 14"D x 48"H
Made of: A dresser turned growbox
For: 1-2 plants via CFL
Total price: about $100 not including bulbs.

disclaimer: I don't want to hear any disses about the use of CFLs. I understand the benefits to using other lighting but I do not have the budget, space, etc to use those lights.

Here goes...

I took an old dresser I used as a kid... Pictured here:



And my goal was to create a small, incognito grow box with it. So here's my plan/work....

First, there was no bottom to the box... I wanted to put on a bottom and I figured I may as well put some wheels on it so I can easily move it around.

So first things first. Let's get this box rolling!

Luckily my girl donated some fancy caster wheels. She said they are expensive. You go girl!



and a closer up shot:


Allright... The next thing I wanted to do was make this still look like a dresser. So.. I took all of the drawers out:



And removed the faces from them:


So later I can re-attach them to the back side. To give a faux dresser look.
(This image is just re-inactment of what it shall look like when I do actually attach the drawer fronts to the back. I have yet to do this as I dont have extendable clamps to hold it on there while the glue dries!)



Then I got a sheet of wood and created a door on the (new) "back" of the box.



With hinges of course!:


And some little doo-dads to keep the door closed!




And there you go!


But dont forget to put some weather seal inbetween the door and the dresser box!


Like so:


Now time to put some exhaust in here! First things first... We need to cut a hole!

4" exhaust port:



Let's look a little closer:


And from the inside:


All right! Looking good.

Now we need something to direct the air to the exhaust... Put some 4" ducting in there... Oh and I painted it flat white! Rawr!:


OMG! It's like Jesus is in the box!


And now we install this 4" exhaust fan (80 CFM):


Oooh, it's that pretty?!


And now a view of the exhaust from the outside...


Check out that bling bling!

That's how far I have gotten. I have more supplies at the house and I am working on getting it all gathered up to have a part 2 to this thread.

Please subscribe so you can get the full experience of the creation of my box!

very very nice so far. this is going to be a clean box.
veg area and flower?
wattage?
strain ?

bro..i love it..i was thinking about doing a dresser kind of box as well..let me know how it goes.

Thank you!

The first grow in this box will be my first serious grow.

The veg and flower area will just be in the same spot. I don't smoke enough herb to need a fulltime rotating grow going on so I figured I would just get as much as I could out of my grow and jar it up.. When I get low I'll start another grow!

Wattage is still up in the air as I have yet to install the lights.

But my plan as of right now is:
VEG - (4) 26w Daylights, (4)23w daylights (this will be dependent on how many seeds crack. I am attempting 3 but figure only 1-2 in the end --- If it's 2 plants I will add more lighting... If it's one I will keep what I mentioned above... if it's three I will add mooorrrre lol)

Bud - (8 ) 42w Softwhite, (1)65w Softwhite (I am going going to take 1... MAYBE 2 plants to the end. If all 3 seeds crack I will take them all to sexing... Basically if I get 3 females I will only focus lights and energy on 2 of them but leave the other in there for the heck of it... If I get 2 females I will probably grow them both in case one get sick and dies... and if there is only 1 then I will of course take it to the end)

Strain bagseed from a plant that came from other bagseed. lol

Ha, what's funny is I am a graphic designer.. I don't use tools at all... -- well, I guess now I do. lol.

I always turn to my girl and say "Fuck man, I should get into construction" while Im building it. Ha. It's definitely a challenge. A ton of fun!

lol im a graphic designer also with a degree in Industrial design! WOOT!
You box looks great! Bigger area then mine for 1 plant so I would say you got enough room for 2 at least just keep them short and bushy! Cool looking forward to watching the grow!

side note those are the same hinges I used and they work great and are hard core! $6 a pair at HD ouch!

HEY FELLAs...

So I did a little more work today. I was installing the mylar into the box and low and behold I ran out of staples for the staple gun... So while I am still in my jammies I decided to figure out my seedling lighting situation.

I took some pics and Im going to update this thing before I shower and head out to the Depot... I feel like I live there. Luckily it's only about 4 miles from me.

So here is a shot of the box this morning:


I installed my home-made light reflector housing my 3 daylight CFLs.. (which im contemplating making a tutorial for... I guess I could - who knows if anyone would like it)

I flipped on the light and stacked up some rolls of tape to put my thermometer on. So it was 1inch from the lights.. I want to know how hot my plants will get... The temp got up to 84˚F ... I decided to put a fan I got from Lowes for $1 at the end of my reflector tunnel.. I flipped it to the LOW speed.... It dropped the temp to 78˚ within a few mins:




Here are some random shots of what's going on... while I wait for my beans to crack.
