After the larger box was built there was a itchy sensation in the fingers of mountaingoat therefore a new project had to be undertaken. A stealth growbox within a old PC tower.
Therefore Mountaingoat presents Mountaingoats Stealth CFL PC-GrowBox.
Using CFL lights this time again to keep cost and heat to a minimum.
3 lights were purchased:
1x 23 watt 6700k
2x 18 watt 2700k
The aim of this box is to flower the clones which comes from the larger box. Mountaingoat's Growbox 200w low energy light
Firstly a old PC was given to the very charismatic Mountaingoat by a local computer store. This was then stripped of all the internal content except for the fan casing at the front and back. This box will utilize a negative pressure and one exhaust fan with a odor filter in order to maintain its "stealthyness"
The PC stripped and silcone applied in all nooks and crannies in order to ensure the negative air-pressure.
Old PC fan given a odor filter, also spliced it onto an old DC 12v charger to be able to power the fan from the normal power socket.
The back of the PC, the multi socket fit perfectly totally by accident.
One of the 2700k lights which will be mounted in a horizontal fashion on each side of the plants. This is done to ensure the plants get as much lights as possible.
Odor filter added to the one airvent which will act as the passive airintake, the other ventilation holes will be sealed. This to ensure the negative pressure within the growbox.
Pieces for the frame which will hold the lights.
Mylar and vanilla coke!
More mylar!
and....Mylar!
The reason for keeping the front fan is in case it would turn out to be too hot within the box and an active air intake is needed.
The light fixture complete with mylar on it.
Light fixture in place, the side ones are also able to rotate to keep them from burning any plants.
Power on.
Sneak peak.
The box is done just going to close the big hole in the front with some wood.
And presto the box is done 2 hours of fun in an afternoon.
There you have it stay tuned for the upcoming mini grow journal to go with the box.
Please ask questions and give some feedback
"Please note: as Mountaingoat is a totally fictional character none of these things has actually happened and is completely fake."
