How do i seal the inside of my pc grow box?

Jagerwiser · Aug 20, 2009

Hello,

im a first time grower(havent started yet) im working on my stealth grow box.today i gutted the inside,and im trying to figure out how to seal the hundreds of holes that this thing is riddled in,i want to do it so i still have room,i dont have any styraphome or the space to give to use it. the inside is already small.
im using a Hp A000 if you want to look it up on google to see the space im dealing with,i dont own a camera so i cant load one.

then my second question was,how do i put the mylar or mylar ballon inside,how do i line it? do i use glue? wont glue be bad from the heat of the light? im using a 60watt cfl full spectrum.

and 3rd, im trying to wire the light socket to the original power supply that came with the computer,and the cell phone charger method for my fans so that i have only 2 plugs.and im using the scrog method,i still have to fit a some mesh in there.this is also a soil based grow with fert and nutes.

THANK YOU ALL.

Yeah, I work in a heat treat here in Detroit. Just got back from 2 month layoff. You are going to want to use Urethane Caulk. It is a little more money but will be safe for your box & plants. I Can't help with your other questions.

well from what i've understood...if you actually have the fan's set up properly...and with you using CFL'S...you'll more than likely not really produce enough actual heat to cause a chemical reaction with the 'glue' for the mylar....try a spray adhesive...spray the inside of the box, not the mylar...then just press...IF YOU'RE SMART..get the holes plugged while you figure the wiring situation, that way you could possibly run the wires behind the actul mylar...understand???

now as for the wiring of the socket and fans...Hmmmm....find someone with a cam and take a quick pic or two so we all know what you are looking at and what you're wanting to do...i understand the ' not having money thing ' so we'll do our best.....

are you doing a soil or hydro setup for your first time???
well i hope this at least helps you ask more questions...

oh yes...welcome my friend...

Hey there Jager?

I used carboard. I measured all of the walls of of box, cut the cardboard to shape (going around fans etc) and then bought a roll of mylar and stapled it to the cardboard, you can then just take the cardboard at the top and bottom of the case and hey presto! I also found some mylar tape 75mm wide which I used for the ceiling of the box, but you could use it for the whole pc box if you were neat with it.

How do i seal the inside of my pc grow box?
