3.5ft wide 6ft wide

Okay here we go. I have about 10 plants germinated I'm just waiting for them to break ground. By the way how long do you think that will take?

I want to make 2 boxes one for seedlings and vegging and the other for flowering I'm going for a small scale sea of green. I plan on building the box to be about 6ft tall with a shelf in the middle so there will be 3 ft of grow. I plan on flowering until they are about 1.5ft tall and then flowering. I know they usually double in height. Is this build worth attempting?

I also have a few more questions I'll squeeze in here if anyone knows the answer please chime in if you don't its okay I'll keep searching in the mean time.

*When should you add CO2 I heard only during flowering but I don't see how it wont benefit the entire time.
*How long does it normally take for a germinated seed to break ground. I've read anywhere from 48hrs is normal to 2 weeks.
*I know I need to reflect light for my undergrowth etc and I have a lot of mirrors laying around (cousin use to be a barber he wont mind) can I use this or should I just add some lights down there.

O by the way I only can use CFL's right now later down the line I plan on getting a MH and a HPS.

O yea and if it is a good build how many sheets of 4X8 3/4 think MDF do you think i would need.

*If I have a heating element on my seeds while they are in their grow medium do I need lights on them? Should I just let them do their thing in the dark?

Not a lot of answers for you, but as for the reflective material, I just bought an emegency blanket from wally world, cut it to 6 correct sizes and hot glued it to all sides of the bax. Less than $2. I'm curious to see an answer about the seedlings in dark or light. I planted 1 3 days ago, nothing yet, 1 yesterday, same. I've heard both as well, but i just set it at 18/6 and see what will happen.

Hope it was a little help.:joint:

Mylar I can get some of that. Hopefully they break ground soon. They are on a seed warmer so maybe that'll speed them up.

Happy 4/20
