I am growing in this tree house i have, but i also want to grow inside. My lovely wife though is not so lovely when we have light beems jetting out of our living room closet when relatives are over, i dont want to hear about that, haha. I would like to know if you can grow in a cardboard box, scratch that, I figure you can, but will it get too hot and catch on fire. My idea would be cut some boxes up to make a cardboard cabinent, cover the inside with chrome duct tape and then make a small wood frame to support the light ballast and to hold the box itself up. Then when im done i can take all my lights out of it, dry my bud in it, and then burn it, look!!, it never happened!!. My other idea is a pc growbox. But im not too sure how that will work out. I have no clone sellers where i live, or a mature plant to cut. I wont have a mature plant for awhile either. I heard that the most you could get out of a pc box grow is like a quarter, 7 grams, but idk, its worth a try, but i need to know how to build this. If someone tells me how to build one or the other i will do it and start a journal and update with pics every day................

thanks


help.....

build your own wood grow cabinet


YES on ANY indoor grow you WILL need ventilation.

plants need fresh air

i suggest doing some research

the box won't get too hot if you vent it well - you need to keep the temps below 85 f for the plants anyway.

i'm also using a cardboard box. i was terrified it was going to catch on fire at the start as well. so far...my house hasn't burned down...so all is well. you can check my progess in my journal which is in my signature. i'd be interested in seeing how your journal and grow op turns out.

paper burns at 451 degrees, cardboard which is made out of paper stock burns at 801 degrees. i recently started growing in a configuration of hollowed out cardboard boxes and made sure i looked that shit up before i did, im pretty sure the plants would catch fire way before that lol. and i dont think it would be possible for it to get remotely close to that hot even if my fans got shutoff somehow.

IF your house burns down, you can just get another house.

I'm currently constructing a grow box out of gasoline soaked rags and dried twigs. It will probably be ok.

there could be a fire if your wireing is messy so keep your cables higher than the plant
