the box is ready to get started, although only half the equipment is inside. my current box should be done before i need the other half of the equipment installed.

equipment list:
the tent is homemade constructed of 1/2 inch pvc, fittings, panda film, and various tape.
400watt metal halide shop lamp vertical fixture with poor reflector
400watt hps harvest pro ballast and bat wing fixture ( will eventually end up switching to all led when the time comes)
Viagrow Carbon Air Filter 2 with Inline Fan Combo 55-110 CFM Exhaust
Suncourt Inductor 4 in. In-Line Duct Fan 80 cfm x2
Suncourt Inductor 6 in. In-Line Duct Fan 160 cfm
various 3 gallon pots circle, square, smart pot
5 gal smart pot x2 ( will end up leaning towards all these if they dont get to big )
6'' clip fan
1 table fan
fox farm ocean forest
some organic root stimulater sample
tiger bloom
2 autoflower seeds plus two free seeds on route. super auto cali haze short stuff x1 sweet mango automatic green house x1 free auto x 1

here is my idea, i will start to germinate one seed on the same day every week. in theory i should be chopping a plant and planting a seed once a week. all plants will be a various autoflower strain. i understand the complications that will come my way with growing various strains. im one that prefers surprises ( hopefully good but willing to accept bad) and variety. low end im sure 8 wil flourish nicely in here and cramped 12 if those complications arrive. i will start with 400watt mh for plants for half of life and finish with 400 hps on its last half. try to picture like a conveyor belt for autoflowers. as i said i plan on using all led within 4 months before summer for several reasons. each light im looking at is 250 bucks. produces light of 600 watter while sucking 175watt juice. and no heat so in summer no air conditioning to control temps! im not necisarily looking for high yields as im only growing for my self. the experiance is reward enough let alone not having to purchase overpriced falsly named schwag from the local thugs. i will start the germination and journaling process the day of arrival. i also plan on taking a weekly pic of each plant and posting in sequential order, kinda like 1 big contious grow log thats all pictures

i will do the posting by just re editing the following post below.

Holy smokes! Let's do this!

Good plan. Have ya grown any b4?

im not necisarily looking for high yields as im only growing for my self. the experiance is reward enough let alone not having to purchase overpriced falsly named schwag from the local thugs.

This size grow and and these kinds of plans....one suggestion, ya might need a bigger bong... if ya use us and read here. You'll get a lot out of that area! Well... at least by the third grow I about guarantee you'll be with the big dawgs.

I was curious about your box using panda film. I am not familiar with that. Have you seen others use it? It looks like some kinda plastic is it? I know some of the cheaper tents that tried to use plastic film had some weird chemical output from no uv inhibitors causing it to breakdown rapidly causing some plant issues. Like I said I am just curious about it since I hadnt seen it before myself,

Pretty crafty setup you got going. Best of luck in your grows!

Panda Film is that black outside, white inside film you seen on a few dvd's or utube with the crazy dude with the green painted face, Seymour Buds. Jorge's video as well shows it when building a grow room.. Its a plant friendly plastic.

That said make sure that room dont leak light, good luck.

I'd post a link to either video, but am lazy

Thanks for the info. I think I have seen it now you say that. Don't fuss to much about some small light leaks with Autos. That is one of the benefits to growing them is you can always go take a peek at them

I really really like the tent man. What kind of tape did you use and how did you adhere the panda film to the PVC? I'm always interested in constructing new growboxes and the ability to make any tent size I want is pretty damn fascinating.

for the clean set-up brother.
