So we travelled 750 kms over the weekend to visit the father in law, and he's pretty handy with tools, so I asked if we could build a grow box so I could take it home.
I had won a LED light on ebay, but hadn't realised how long the fixture actually was until after I had won the auction. 153cms in fact, and I knew I had nothing long enough to put the light in, so the idea of building a grow box was born.
Just googled some instructions, and of course found a million for marijuana growing, so picked one of those. Finished product now looks like this:
Dimensions are 165cm x 75cm x 75cm. The LED light fixture recommends hanging about 50cm above the canopy, it's only a 45W light, so we'll see how that goes.
I reckon I could fit about 90 x 10cm pots in there, here's hoping.
