new grow box 4'x8'x4' upgrade from closet

5280blazin · Jul 9, 2009

This is my new grow box i have been building all week. It is simply 5 osb sheets turned into one box. I also have a room ac in there that keeps them at 75 degrees. its not done yet simply dont have the funds to upgrade things yet but i will post when I do. Also the fans in the last picture are my carbon filter. Again costs drive me to create cheaply, it is 2 box fans pointed down and a layer of carbon filter sheet from home depot and activated carbon spread evenly across the top. It works unbelievable by the way there is no smell whatsoever. Lemme know what you all think :blsmoke:

That's a good ventilation idea, lots of air flow, filtered, for about $25. Nice job.
My box is also OSB, but I don't have A/C in it, and it's a little smaller.
Good luck with whatever you put in there.

Yea right now that is quite a bit of room for so few plants but my next grow which I'll be starting soon should have prolly ten or so and I can grow three footers or maybe a little more

yeah good stuff dude. I just wouldve made it a foot and a half taller. like are u cutting holes in the top for the light to shine through or are you putting the light INSIDE? did you factor that plus the size of the plants themselves into your design? just some thoughts i had.

My box is 4' high also, it does limit to how high you can grow but I just LST them short and don't have any problems. From the base of the stem to the light is 32". I usually flower from clones or seedlings. Only 6 girls in mine at a time though.

Yea i am planning on putting the lights inside but with plexiglass cool tube type set up. As far as the 4 foot height thing goes I will probably grow my box lol. What i mean is just make it 2 feet taller or something but we will see. I gotta say tho i am loving this ac thing I was having some serious heat issues in that closet I couldnt get it below 90 and now its out in my garage which is at 90 and it has more lights than before and its a cool 75 in there. Im just glad to see my plants happy if you know what i mean haha.
