Okay so I feel I pretty much have all the general ideas worked out

If you see any errors on my part please let me know


So here is my plan so far.
Size: 2 x 3 x 4 1/2 grow box made of particle board
Light: 250 mh/hps
Grow type: Soil
Seeds: Afghan
Sealers: weather seal foam/rubber
and some reflective mylar to cover the walls on the inside.


Now with all that said where is get stuck is on ventilation,odor control,what size earthbox would be best for me to use and, how many plants should be grown in this size grow box.


If anyone has any suggestion please post them.


thanks :)

DIY carbon filter for your odor control and cut a couple holes for computer fans one hole at the top to push air out and one near the bottom to pull clean cool air in. Do you plan on using a HPS thought the whole grow or are you switching during veg and flower? I'd probably do about 6 plants give or take with your area size, It just kinda depends on how you feel about them and how many you'd like to do but i would do 6 with you area...

I plan on using mh for veg and hps for flower.

I have some extra room so i figured id go 2 1/2 x 3 x 4 1/2 and grow 8-10 plants at a time.

Yea if you have a little more room to work with 8-10 plants sounds like a good number to start with. lighting sounds good also, If you need to find out how to make a DIY carbon filter i just found a page on here that It would cost you a total of about $10 dollars to make and its really simple
