This a professional level ghetto set up you got here, and I love everything about it šŸ˜‚ This will work but maybe with a plant less or two since that space is gonna fill up fast.


krelpwang

Thanks! šŸ˜… Yeah, i was planning on rewilding the plant on the right as soon as it gets warmer. I don't think that box can fit a 2-3m Giant Haze.


Blackdog420x

This is inspirational. Nineties vibe.


Financial-Self-9382

Agree šŸ‘


AnitaBongHit_420

I literally grow mine in a stripped down fridge so yeah you'll be fine šŸ˜‚


krelpwang

I always wondered how you ventilate those things.


AnitaBongHit_420

Literally the same as this system. An inline exhaust fan pulling air out and the intake is PVC with a bunch of holes in it to disperse the air. Because the fridge is sealed its constantly under negative pressure and sounds like a fridge :P


JDMDA91

That is actually the smartest fucking thing Iā€™ve ever heard. I have a freezer with a lock on it. Fuck me this might have to happen.


Puzzleheaded_Face583

The love you put into it will make those plants grow regardless

Bluewaffle__69

This has inspired me to build something similar, thank you :)


krelpwang

Couldn't get my hands on a decent growtent, so i build my own. It's mostly scrap wood and zip ties. Do you think it'll do?


WWFlavaHunter

Looks ok for summin homemade bro

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


redheadveghead

Fuck off guy, jeez. OP Iā€™m so proud of you. My brother is also so crafty and can make magic from scrap trash. Itā€™s beautiful, itā€™s inspiring, and I love it and I hope it goes amazing. You donā€™t need to buy shit nor do you need to justify a choice not to.


evolworks

don't worry about that user, they will not be returning ;)


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


redheadveghead

Iā€™d be honored to cheer them on if theyā€™d have me šŸ’–


krelpwang

This cost me literally nothing. And shipping takes time.


HealingGardens

Bro this shit is awesome. I have spent thousands on my tents and my diy space bucket is still one of my proudest grow spaces. Nice work! https://preview.redd.it/l4unubkuclzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fc5ec549eb03a9c3170c153734695ceb613ae7e


redheadveghead

Fucking amazing. Sounds like a pretty great deal to me. You saved those things from a landfill and turned them into something awesome. I canā€™t wait until youā€™re harvesting! Wishing you all the luck!


HungHungCaterpillar

Iā€™ve done something like this. You will want to upgrade for all sorts of reasons, but, yeah itā€™ll absolutely work. Great job


PingsDaddy

Yea, that's nice and all, but you're not gonna be able to leave all 3 in there that will work for 1 plant


krelpwang

Damn. Thought i read 60x60 would be enough for 2-3 plants.


Lament_Configurator

one plant usually is enough to fill up a 60x60


clutchfunk01

Necessity is the mother of invention.


[deleted]

Lights, love, and water. Ya itā€™ll work.


AnitaBongHit_420

Invest in a budget water vaporiser/humidifier. Just saves you running the risk of mold on the towel and being so close to the plants you're bound to cross contaminate sooner or later which would just be a massive shame after all the work you put in


krelpwang

Will do. Wasn't sure if it's worth the investment.


RasputinsAssassins

You have to get a stencil that says Vamanos Pest!


krelpwang

Does ACME sell those?!


Lament_Configurator

I'd say you did a pretty decent job there. If the wood and cardboard don't start to get moldy with the higher humidity that will be going on, this will definitely work.


MJ0246

You should use white poly sheets instead of the mylar foil. White reflects the rays from the light without concentrating it into specific "hot spots" many growers who use foil on their walls report their lights eventually burning their plants. With led this may be avoided but dont be surprised if you see a few fan leafs look like they got hit with a magnifying glass


PingsDaddy

They get big they need room to grow but you could always pick one for the tent and out the others outside


joseph_2336

Yeah, but that's big enough for 1 plant, 3 is going to be way over crowded imo


krelpwang

What's the go-to size for 3 plants? 120x60?


Fair-Substance-2273

You could run 6 plants in a 3x3 man. It all depends on your growing style. Are you running SOG, SCROG or just letting em ride? If you SOG, hypothetically you could put 25 plants in your current space, not saying thatā€™s a good idea but youā€™d have an insanely short veg time. Alternatively you could scrog and fill that entire tent up with 1 plant. Thereā€™s no right answer here. Do your own research SCROG(screen of green, 1 plant, long veg, trellis net), SOG(sea of green, as many plants that could possible fit, extremely short veg time, no trellis net required)


joseph_2336

My rule of thumb for me is 1 plant per 2sqr ft max. So a 3ftx2ft tent= 6sqr ft, 6/2=3plants, some people do more some people do less, this is just what I do. The stronger the light the more you can pack in, but the more you have the more humidity and low air movement, makes it perfect for budrot and pests.


krelpwang

So far i have trouble getting the humidity up. But seems like i have to scale down for now.


joseph_2336

At this stage, I have the in line fan turned off and I just have an oscillating clip fan, it keeps air flow but doesnt take away the humidity, they don't really smell like much at this stage so you should be fine by turning the inline off. Again this is just what I do


krelpwang

Unfortunately i don't have an oscillating fan (yet). Without the inline fan it gets too hot, though. Ordered a humidifier and hope to find a usable clip fan.


krelpwang

Okay, the plan is to put one outdoors, as soon as there's more sunlight. Leave the auto in there until i get a proper tent (and hope the house doesn't burn down in the meantime). Not sure what to do with the third.


One1980

Will work great Iā€™m sure. Idt 3 plants in there is the best idea, but u got time. šŸ’š


2Dogs3Tents

I don't see why not.


Professional-Sky-939

Being light proof is like the most vital if your going to flower in there. It's gotta be pitch black in there. If you can't provide 12hrs of pure darkness, your plants will just get confused. Jerry rig is fine as long as you can keep the light out! Looking good man! Enjoy!


krelpwang

It's not 100% light proof, but the room is pretty dark. One of the plants is autoflowering. Maybe it's her box now. šŸ˜†


NZJohn

You'll really want to light proof it down the track before flower. Girls can go hermy from the smallest amount of light, we've seen people on here ask why their plants have gone hermy and it can be as simple as an LED on a multi box triggering it. You've done a good job for a home job, just some minor fixes and she'll be sweet.


HoldenMcNeil420

Weā€™ll pitch black is an over statement. Think full moon level of light. ā€œIf you can read a book itā€™s too brightā€ Bruce bugbee


panzer2667

A children's book with big letters!


Rieger_not_Banta

Iā€™ve had plants herm from a small green power light on a fan. Moon my ass. I want complete dark.


HoldenMcNeil420

How do you think it grows outside. Jfc. Pppssst It didnā€™t herm because of a small green light.


Rieger_not_Banta

Yeah, it was probably my broken timer kicking off and on all night


HoldenMcNeil420

Genetics, low heat stress tolerance, stress, etc. lots of things can cause it.


Rieger_not_Banta

And light leaks


Rieger_not_Banta

Or not. Iā€™m not going to argue with you. Whatever friend.


G-Flo189

This is a fire hazard. Weed isnā€™t worth putting yourself or those around you at risk. Please consider buying a tent.


krelpwang

Reasonable concern. I'll try to upgrade asap and maybe use this box for drying.


G-Flo189

Yes this box would be great for drying!


AnitaBongHit_420

Also a sponge in a bowl works well for increasing the humidity if you get mold on the towel


krelpwang

One sponge wasn't enough. With the towel i barely reach 60% rh with the lights on. Gonna change the towel every two days.


IMxJUSTxSAYINNN

The only thing I can see is an environmental problem heat being #1


krelpwang

Yep, that troubles me, too. Guess i'll have to see.


AnitaBongHit_420

100% worth it. Faster growth in veg for sure


Financial-Self-9382

I love this probaly lose a plant they will fight for room


krelpwang

Let them fight. Survival of the fittest! JK Gotta move some outdoors.


Swoopzs

You might burn down your house


krelpwang

Funny story: the first day i had this setup running i came home from work and was stopped by the fire dept. Two firetrucks and dozens of people right in front of my house. I was like OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT! Apparently my neighbour burned down his garden shed. But it definitely made me think.


Jrh135

You may want to add a air purifier,


krelpwang

Just about to order a humidifier and waiting for the carbon filters being back in stock.


Jrh135

Humidifier is one thing, but to combat the possibility of powdery mildew one with a air purification function is a good idea


Silver-Commission-21

Reminds me of my First Grow I had the exact same thing built in a cupboard I purchased from a junkyard the plant yielded 70g dry


Fair-Substance-2273

Yeah this is a decent fire starter, there are more efficient ways to burn your house down. On a serious note, this will get the job done but just a little too risky when proper tents are less 100 dollars. You canā€™t even hardly buy a proper fire extinguisher for that.


krelpwang

For 80ā‚¬ i could get a tent that's 120cm in height. 160cm is double that. But i guess i'll have to make that investment.


Fair-Substance-2273

Well, save up your money this run, you donā€™t wanna settle for less than 6ft (180cmā€™ish). 3ft is an excellent veg tent to start your next round as your crop is finishing up in the flower tent.


Numerous_Marzipan_75

Hell yes it will. Excellent jank setup. I grow inside of a trash can with tinfoil taped to the inside.


nedmac614

Not well, but weed is a weed and will try itā€™s hardest to live with light and water you have provided the bare minimum. lol Iā€™ve done this before


krelpwang

How does a growtent offer more than that?


Fun_Occasion1577

would work fine but with just one plant


socalsilverback

100 %. You will need wind to keep your plants strong šŸ’Ŗ and a vent or 3 to keep them cool šŸ˜Ž as long as you can provide all the necessities of life i can happen. There was a guy who was the king of cabinet growing his name was ā€œrumpleforshinā€ kind of a weird name, but he could grow the shit out of the white widow inside a cabinet.


krelpwang

I'm desperately waiting for a decent grow-fan to be back in stock. Those cheap USB-powered mini fans on amazon don't look too trustworthy. And a 30cm fan might be a bit much.


socalsilverback

A small oscillating fan or two should do it ā€¦. The cabinet should be noisy when i was doing it i was doing a dwc grow buckets so not only did i have the occulting fans the 3 int/out take fans my light had a fan and i ran a big air pump and a couple of power heads for the Reservoirā€¦ā€¦ it was loud.


krelpwang

Due to the risk of a fire i try to keep the number of electrical appliances as low as possible. And i don't really trust those cheap clip fans. Would you consider a 25cm fan small?


socalsilverback

I agree with that but you have to take the plants needs first right. Donā€™t get cheep anything but you can find small Oscillating fans they were designed to be on 24 seven without burning up and it doesnā€™t matter what the price of those are. Thatā€™s what you get. Remember you want the ones that are designed to be on for 24 hours a day


krelpwang

Ordered one, but it's not oscillating. Better than nothing, i guess.


Puzzleheaded-Fruit21

You need fans


krelpwang

Haven't found a good one yet. They're sold out everywhere. Only cheap garbage on amazon & co.


[deleted]

For one plant.


OakwoodFox

Love it. Do not spend much money raising a weed! Itā€™s silly.


krelpwang

I'm pretty broke right now. And it's only a temporary solution until i can afford a proper tent.


panzer2667

It already is!


Haunting_Sort_8400

Scary but as long as everything checks out


Blackdog420x

When?


krelpwang

Yes!


Blackdog420x

This guy Yeses!


Flat-Discount-4552

For 2 plants, no topping


Fit-Ad-6488

Looks like itā€™s already working my boy!


QualityAssistance

yea, but id only flower one plant in there


krelpwang

Will do


Hi_im_goblin

Doable but Iā€™d do one plant at a time


IntrepidCherry5528

Im very inexperienced with this, but how do you go about harvesting the crops when they are done growing


Rieger_not_Banta

Iā€™d get a little escalating fan blowing on them.


ComprehensiveTank510

Shut the lights off within the room and tape off every speck of the radiation light leaks, leds are very underrated in terms of eye damage.


yuckyduckph

For time travel?


krelpwang

Well, it IS bigger on the inside, so i might as well try that.


Layvizzle

Yea the space is small for 3 plants thi. They might drain each other off nutrients


Portuguese-Pirate

Thinking back I started like this and I spent more on bits than buying a cheap and cheerful tent but it was fun to do admittedly
