Cheap Plastic Box Grow

:popcorn:
 
Phew so i just got done reading through your journal thus far and i have to say well done my friend. I started/still am budget growing lol all i have ive collected over time and i am sure you will too. I figured i would check out your grow since you graced mine with your presence multiple times now lol. I will say i was a little bummed when i got to the current page and found out you had made the flowering box already as i was gonna share my cheap diy flower box. I suppose i still will just if your curious lol. Your doing a mighty fine job here friend i will definitely be following along. Be back with a link so you can get a rough idea of my flowering box. Btw careful with the apple cider vinegar cause that's what I use for ph down so i would hate to see you have ph problems.
 
Here's the link as promised i found this back when i was doing research before i even started growing, sorry i know it's from another forum but good stuff nonetheless. I used 30gallon rubbermaids instead of the 22gallon rubbermaids this guy used. I also did my lights a little differently.

Ha-ha thanks my friend, yeah the budget side is what attracted me to your journal as well. I love a good diy and how creative people can get and bouncing ideas around.

I can't thank you enough for your kind words lexort, its a pleasure to have you along for the ride. ALL comments and advice are welcome here.

Thank you so much for the advice on the vinegar. I just dabbed a cottonbud ever so lightly on it. So fingers crossed no ph issues, but it did dramatically fix the problem.

:thanks::welcome:

Ha-ha I spent quite along time looking at that one.The misses and I decided to not invest any more coin on the Rubbermaid grows, as cool as they are we couldn't get the yield out of them to sustain us which is now the ultimate goal, as a quarter ounce costs us $100 Aussie bucks!!. So we shall save for a good led (mars hydro we are looking into! But will over research the topic) and set up a proper grow. The flower box in the picture is still the veg box, I just made a light proof tent out of this awesome plastic used to keep sunlight out of windows, its also in our dark bedroom, which will help keep off times. I love the micro grows though, those stealth pc cases started this whole adventure ha-ha

Thanks for dropping by, always heaps of chairs and popcorn
 
Ok you should be good on the vinegar as long as you didn't dowse your soil with it atleast i would think lol. Ya the Rubbermaid boxes don't yield a crap ton but it did well for me but i was only growing for myself. I estimated that I got 2 to 2.5 ounces total from 3 plants i don't have a scale yet so I just did the math and what i figured was i go through a 1/8 in about 3 or 4 days and what i grew kept me smoking everyday all day for 2 months. But anyways I am glad I found your grow and i am totally along for the ride lol take care friend. Ps just in case i missed it if you don't have a reflective material yet a cheap source would be a emergency blanket but I guess you would know that already from my grow lol. Only reason I brought that up is cause I honestly didn't pay attention to every detail in your pictures i was more blown away by your plants so they stole my focus lol
 
Ya that was 2oz grown with MG liquid ferts so i was more impressed by that part then anything else lol. Im not kidding your plants did steal my focus and they look absolutely awesome. Fun thing about stoners is when the need for something arises all of a sudden they become mcguyvers lol. Ive always been good about making something out of nothing so i guess i was born to be a stoner LOL. Ya i started out with tin foil til i read it creates hotspots. Are you gonna be topping and lsting?
