Hello all,
This is my first post here but I have been quite the quiet reader on this site for a very, very long time. I am very gracious and happy to be apart of such an eclectic and highly knowledgeable group of growers. I thought it is finally time for me to try to add to the knowledge here as well as hopefully grow as a grower and DIY'er. I am hoping that with this grow I can get to know everyone and excel my knowledge past where I am now, after all you never can know enough about our wonderful plant and the many methods of making your own free product. So without further delay I introduce to you my small DIY micro cab. I built this cab over a long period of time and although it is by no means perfect I am very happy with what I have created.
This cab is 18"x13"x25" and is roughly 3 cu ft. I have a cheap HHE 64x3w led cob light with a total of three computer fans, one for intake, one for extraction and one right below the light to help with cooling the light off in order to hopefully drop the inside temperature. So far I have done a test run with the front closed and it unfortunately was at 88 degrees. This is without the extraction fan running so I am hoping that once I receive my 12v wall wort this puppy will hopefully drop ten degrees or more but any suggestions on how to cool this thing down even more would be greatly appreciated. I plan on starting the germ here in about two weeks and getting this grow underway which I am hoping will provide enough time to fine tune this box to absolute perfection. Now unfortunately I do not have any autoflowers currently to get started so this first test run will be done, hopefully if it pops, with a Fem. Darkstar seed from TH Seeds that is a photoperiod. the soil I plan on using is:
And I also have some beautiful nutrients I picked up at a local shop that I am hoping will make my end result top shelf:
So please everyone suggestions are so very welcome I'd love to have some feed back and get this grow started correctly and hopefully be on my way to an easy grow. Again thank you so very much for welcoming me into your family and I hope to become a very valued and gracious member of this amazing community.
Cheers,
