Growing in a freezer

StimpE · #1 10-26-2006, 03:09 PM

Attached are a few pics of where I plan to grow my stash. I was wondering if I should seperate the freezer into multiple parts, ex: half for vegging and half for flowering, or just keep it open and line it with foil? Oh and just for anyone who is wondering..No the freezer doesn't work so it won't be turned on. Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

...hey friend...

...i have built a few of these...attempting to split it in two is not suggested...too many problems...just get another freezer...

...in mine i mounted two 150w hps on the lid with the ballasts mounted on the back...i vented with a pair of 6" muffin fans mounted on each side at the top lip...one in/one out...temp and humidity easily equalized with the room it was in...

...i grew in hydroton with a periodic drip system using the bottom of the freezer as my resevoir which doubled up as a dwc once the roots dropped deep...or grow in dirt...
just make sure you got a strain that likes to be small...i hope you like indicas...

I decided not to do it in the freezer. I found myself a nice closet in the house to do it in, will take pics once I can snag a friend's camera. Thanks for the advice.

I wouldn't think that you would have to line it with foil. White reflects light very well. The light will bounce off those white walls. Think reflective quality like in photography. Much simpler to wipe down the walls and keep clean without lining with foil.

Besides foil isn´t good to reflect light, it concentrates light in certain points creating hotspots wich may cause some serious damage to ur plants...Keep 1 thing in mind u´ll need ventilation for that cook box, temps will rise in there even if u use a couple of fluoros (that thing was built to keep temps)...

I said I ditched the freezer idea. I decided to grow in a closet with two fluoro's. I'm just waiting on my friend to get me a clone to save me buying seeds.

I notice that it is the type of freezer that opens at the top. You'd only fit one plant in it anyway so why not drill some holes in the bottom and use the whole freezer as a pot. What's the literage on that thing?
