Low budget growbox xD CLF 120-150w 0.6 x 0.35 x 0.9 m = 0.21 harvest area!

Hello every one am a bit new here. Used to read more

Am starting my first indoor cuz winters comming here, been outdooring for few years
I would like u to show u my first indoor low budget growbox.
Made of an old locker laying down in basement
I used an old toilet fan 95 m3/h (2$ at flea market xD) a bit loudy so i used a light dimmer (4 $) as a speed regulator for it.
5x standard plastic e27 sockets (cheap as hell all for 1.25$ ) currently running 4 30w cfls with weg spectrum (4-pack for 8$).
As u can see for inside light reflector i used a car window sun protector made of alu (i know not best choice but cheap 2$ xD).
On the out fan i've installed a passive carbon filter bought for 15$, was lazy in makein one myself heh.
So all cost closed for now in about 30$, sounds cheap for me heh.


Here's some pictures if someone interested


Am thinkin' about running 2 auto ak47 in it. What u guys think? Or better would be 2 fem ones?
Or maybe u know whats strains can give me best yeld results in so small space?
Waiting for urs reps xD
Thx for stepping by

Love It! Inventive and Cost Effective...bet you used to watch the A-Team...Lol depending on your Age

Good Luck with your Grow.

Small space for sure, not going to have much room for the stretch, grow anything that is crossed with a huge producer like big bud or something like that, nebula and agent orange are huge producers


also its still gonna get hot in there.. Like upper 90s unless you have cool air pumping in

I've runned temp test and with this light dimmer as a speed regulator i can eastyly keep temp at 78F, eaven up to low 60 if i would like xD
When i set it to lowest rpm its up to 84F, but with fal turned off its max 86. So temp is not a problem at all, this regulation is perfect!

Youre gonna need more lights 4 isnt enough to get what you want, i usually have 10 minimum on one plant 6 on top 4 on sides.


heres my current box

ye but 10 of those would make my box full of em with no space for ladys xD i made a step to bring more light there.
bought some cree rb and dp diodes 3w, will make a 36w led light of em on my old gforce 8800 radiator
its early one gforce so its huge xD Am plannig to place em this way

I know that the deep red and royal blue is not a full spectrum that plants need so, am going to leave 4 of e27 cfls, as a upper side
lightning to make it works
I will upload few photos as soon as crees will arive.
Heres the whole concept draw xD

What yields we all been getting off cfl's. put 4 cheese babies in last week. Under a 250watt light. Will switch to my 400 hps light when half way through. Check out my journal

go buy a fan speed controller, using a light dimmer to control fan speed can be a fire hazzard.
