My New Grow Box Concept

[Space82]

Here. Yes I'm adding matte white paint today. 3 coats. The side LED are 400ppfd max.
My overhead is 1000ppfd .
Side lights will only be utilized during bloom stage.
No humidifier, they're unnecessary.
This is a 30"x30"x48" grow box designed to grow ( using the SCROG net method)
Fox Farm Ocean Forrest and Happy Frog medium, Alaska 5.1.1. for veg at 1/4 dose and back to Fox Farm Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom and Cal-mag.
AUTO FLOWER only here....no worries about light leaks. I run 18/6 the whole way.
Sometimes 20/4.
Gonna order Flying Skull Nutrients today for the next season.
Love my new concept

Impressive, you say you’re going with matte white paint. Just wondering why not Mylar?

Matte white is still what, I believe it is 65-80% reflective...if you put 3 even coats.
It's way cheaper than mylar. I'm on a fixed income ( MVA in March) and disabled. Gotta save any where that I can. Most this was all laying around the house honestly.
I think it's a cool concept to give em light from the side!
I'll have to turn the planters 2 xs daily to make sure light is evenly distributed, but I have that kinda time
Just not money.

Awesome, I wish you much success with your new grow box. Love it when you can save a buck or two and make it from
scratch. Happy trails….

Here's day 6 for the bigger 2.
Day 4 for the straggling Blue Cheese Auto.
They're doing really well so far.
