Hello this is my first Indoor grow I'm kind of excited, and I wanted some opinions on how they look, since I have no friends that grow near by. below are what I have. Oh and yes I know the other light's are much better, but since it's first grow; it was easier to find this things were I live...
If you have any thoughts please let me hear them!

Happy growings!

2 plants (bag seeds) LST training, 4 weeks vegetating.

Thanks everone for their comments, I wasn't sure for being a month is it was too small or what, but basically what I did was of course keep the lights close at all times, and I feed it nutrients through the water 6.5ph, but every other time I just give it water 7ph, but the days I don't water I spray I either a water down mixture of nutrients, or just water, it depends what I used the day before, if it was watered with Nutrients then I spray water, if it was watered with water then I spray the nutrients. Oh yes and I have a little water bottle with a little whole on the lid, with Yeast water and sugar, I change half of the water every 3 days, and I put a mixture of sugar and water and a bit of yeast and pour it on the bottle. The bottle I covered it all around with foil because the mixture needs darkness and warmth, so with the foil it gets darkness and it get's a little bit heated so the CO2 can pour out of the whole. And everyday I check if I need to place one of the branches close to the lights, and that's basically it.

What is you guys watering system?

This is my indoor it's 3ft tall, 1ft 6inchs wide, and 1ft deep, this is when I was building it now it doesn't have that big crack on the front. Since my issue is space I'm thinking of putting a board around the middle of the box to make one for vegetating and the other for flowering...

Happy Growings!

Looks great. I too have just built a box that i fabbed from an Ikea cabinet. The dimensions are 2' Depth x 3' Width x 2.5' Height. I just finished lining it with mylar last night and noticed that my temps increased to approx 85-87F and my humidity stays at 20-33%. I find that cooling is a big issue now. If im correct, for a 15 cubic foot box i will need a 15cfm for one room change per minute or 3cfm (?) for one room change per 5 minutes if i just want to replace depelted CO2? I could be completely wrong though! lol. What are your humidity and temps running at? and how many intake/exhaust ports do you have?

I really don't know what's my temperature or humidity I don't have a thermometer, but it's not that hot in there, since here is winter and it's 41F, and since I put Styrofoam on the walls ceiling and floor at night it doesn't get cold, I have one intake above, and below is the exhaust, I run them 24/7 since they are pc fans, I only turned them off and hour or two before the 6 hours of darkness, because that's when I spray them or water them... and my humidity seams to be low I don't have wet wall or anything like that...

Nice grow chamber. I'm going to try and build something along those lines myself. Except you'd mine as well have a big sign sayin "weed in here" with the amount of light coming out of that fan port. I was trying to figure out a way around this problem for when I build my cabinet, does anyone have a good suggestion to how to deal with this annoying problem?

Good question. I have been pondering that one for a few days now. I have a temporary cooling/exhaust setup using 4 fans total (6-12inch). My temps still seem a little high (81-87F) with humidity averaging 30% throughout the whole day. My box is in the master bedroom and i like my room as dark as possible which is very difficult now, but i simply place a large shoe box over the port hole. Im not talking about completely sealing it, just leave a little bit of empty space overhanging the side of the grow box or something so it has room for the air to escape. The other trick is to use black pantyhose that is webbed throughout a shoe box, kind of like the baffles in a muffler. The air should still have enough force to move around and escape. I know im just a 'noob' according to forum standards but i hope this helps!
