PC Grow Box Small Scale

So... let's talk soil. lol

Good luck with this one. I'm new to MJ, and I've killed three seedlings with my uber-hot DIY organics. My fault for assuming a weed would flourish indoors in nothing but black gold.

I went back to growing basil from seed, to compare hempy buckets vs. my own organics without wasting MJ seeds. I used some perilite with the organics this time, since I had to buy some for the hempy's anyway, and I'm only a week from sprouting but the basil really loves hempy buckets so far.

However, I am using my own organics in tea form for the hempy's, and hempy buckets are an adapted hydro method, so it's possible I may have some serious issues later on.

for cfl grows use plain black soil and perlite. use a 2/1 ratio of soil to perlite. Stay away from soil with nutes in it, its way too hot. If you can get some compost you can mix that in there too, example; soil/perlite/compost
2/1/.5

Thank you for the advice everyone, it's been very helpful!

Hey uberpea
Nice work on the box. Think you'll do well.
Just a quick thought on the intake/exhaust though. It looks like all your air comes from that small chamber and I think it may get pretty hot as your exhaust goes to the same place. I'd suggest you at least put a splitter in place so the 2 flows don't overlap.

yah im with v on that

That's a great idea V, and a very simple fix for a potential heat issue. I will definitely do that.

Thanks!
