Have some spare time at work and some random ish laying around so I figured I would do this up...I love my job!!
Found a wooden box without a top and it seemed like a good sturdy cab to use...and it's partially constructed!!
(see pics)
Interior Cab Dimensions: 9.5"w x 11"l x 25"h
I know, I need to paint it flat white or get mylar...relax...save your fingers the typing.
Airflow:
2 x computer fans for exhaust...got both of these fans for 10$ (5$ each)
computer fan specs:
Bearing Type - Sleeve
RPM - 1200 ±10% RPM
Air Flow - 68.54 CFM
Noise Level - 24.00 dB
Dimensions - 120 x 120 x 25mm
are these computer fans overkill? Looks like my box is only 3 cubic feet (roughly...to lazy to do the math). Could I get away with using just one?..I heard more is better just in case. The intake is going to be passive intake at the bottom of the box. I cut some thick rubber tubing to use for intake (the inside of the tube measures 1.75 cm and they are 2 inches long)...little PVC elbows will slip right on the ends and act as mini light traps. Is this intake to small?
Lights: To be determined.
I was thinking of using a 70w/hps but I saw a bunch of people bashing them...however with my little bit of space would it suffice? My other option that I was leaning towards was to use a regular light bulb..you know...the incandescent ones. lol..jk...if I'm not gonna use the 70w/hps then im just gonna rig up a fuckload of cfls using the power strip/outlet to socket adapters/y outlet adapters method. Ive seen good results using a rig like that and the SCRoG and/or SoG method.
Medium/Grow Method:
I was gonna do the 12/12 from seed hempy in 16oz. cups or maybe a larger slurpee cup or something....but I'm thinking of opting out of that method. Might just stick to the tried, tested, and true sunshine mix...FFOF and happy frog and all these fancy brands are not available to me. However a little DWC SCRoG is definitely do-able also. But the 12/12 from seed method sounds good for small grows like mine.
This is what I'm thinking of doing.....9 x 600 ml pop bottles, 12/12 from seeds and harvest a plant every week.
600 ml's is the equivalent to 20.xx oz.s...so they're bigger than the solo cups.
