I Just Gave Birth to a Grow Box !

Its my first. And it's made out of cardboard. BUT it's mine and I made it all by myself.

High test cardboard box
Aluminum Tape
Duck Tape
10 foot roll of Reflektix
2 4x4 fans repurposed from unused laptop table
Carbon Filter
1 18 inch T5 HO
1 CFL 75 w equivalent full spectrum
couple of z-straps

1 Cannatonic Plant (super cropped, tied, and FIM two days ago).

I lined the holes around the fans with aluminum tape. Brushed a bit of JB Weld on it, then fit the fans in. The JB Weld worked great and the hold is solid. I used the duck tape mainly to prevent light loss from the inside.

The white things poking out of the back at the side are zap straps used to hold one of the power supply cords in place.

Box certainly isn't ideal but it's much better than the Rubbermaid that was shedding white paint all over the fan leaves. It's just for veg. By the time I need to flower, I'm hoping to have my Granny Cab up and running.

Cardboard is good for fungus spore cultivation.
Will this be ok for a few days though ? Maybe 4 ? Any ideas on what I can do to reduce the likelihood of fungus while I'm getting the other cab put together ?

I needed to get her into a more closed environment. She must have just hit puberty because she's starting to smell. Which is a good thing, I suppose. Just not ideal when I'm living in a rental.

Not for long apparently . My son's father flipped his shit. In short, get rid of it or expect a Knock n Talk.

The most LE would do is take my one plant and give me a warning. Then they would tell him he's a douche for a) wasting their time and b) making our son's circumstances even more difficult . I'm not afraid of LE. Conflict with my son's father is another ball of wax (or hash bongsmilie).

Oooohh .... PVC pipe ? I never thought of that. Mr.B biggest complaint (other than insisting I would go to jail for 1 plant) was how I had my lights configured.
