Hey ya'll!
I've never grown before and seems how I started this past week, I entered in Abiqua's '1st Unofficial Party Cup Grow Off'. I just germ's under a desk lamp for about a week or so, and now it's getting about time to build my box.
WELL, earlier this week my car's trans broke, so money's funny right now. So I took 50$ (45.52 was the final total lol) and went to Lowe's.
Here is what I have so far:
Terminal adapters and clip in light fixtures super glued then duct tapes together
Spliced wires together with an extension cord
Just a regular old garbage can minding its own business...
Opened that bitch up!! I used weather strip around the edge, half way hanging off the inside edge so the part I cut out will seal.
Light-proofing was a pain so I had to make some belts out of string and cut notches in the corners for each one so it wont slide up and it goes right to where I want it. I picked up velcro at the store but somehow it disappeared before I got to the register and I just forgot about it til I started building. I'll probably still get some.
Took a small screwdriver and poked a hole in the top-middle for a paper clip for the lights to hang from so I can move them. Took a bigger screwdriver and made a hole just big enough to squeeze the cord in.
Duct tape to seal light and hold paper clip in.
In all her glory!
I still need to put some mylar on the inside of the box, as it is translucent. I will also be adding PC fans, possibly a switch, and a bottom later this week. Other than that I think it turned out pretty well (/ugly), and for 50$ I won't complain.
What do you guys think?
