What's goin on fellas?

I'm new to growing so I thought I'd start out with a small DIY grow box. I originally went into this with the intention that it would be for vegetative only, we'll see what you guy's think.

Dimensions:50"h x 36"w x 26"d
  • Weather stripped and sealed with heavy duty black plastic. ( I used a staple gun and duct tape to apply it )
  • The front cover have velcro strips for opening and closing.
  • Inside lined with Mylar. ( using double sided tape. )
Lighting:
  • 1- 105w 6500k
  • 1- 14w 5500k
  • 2- 27w 5500k
Ventilation:
  • 1- 5ft long, 4"diameter A/C duct (tapped into a home A/C vent
  • 1- 8" fan on top for exhaust
  • 1- ocillating tower fan
Soil: Fox Farm Light Warrior

The seeds were bagseed. If everything goes well I'll order some feminized seeds.

Like I said it's my first time growing but I've done some research and with you guys, hopefully I can get some nice bud.

The seedlings are 5 days old. I just transplanted them into bigger pots using Fox farm Light Warrior. They are on a 20/4 light schedule. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Put some love and sweat into it brotha!

Now that the box is made, I'd like to go hydroponic. I know I'm new but I have a buddy that's been doing it for years. Him and hopefully some good guys will help me in this forum.

If do decide to go the all indoor route, The flowering cabinet I would make would be larger and I would be using HPS, nothing over 250 though.

That would be going in the basement.

I re-arranged the 2-26w bulbs to rest above the 105w to the right....I felt like they weren't doing any good so far away from the plants.

Maybe the prong rail will come in handy later. Gonna keep an eye on the heat for now.

Just noticed that the first picture looks like cock and balls. Hopefully this will promote females! heh.
