    Default SPACE...the final frontier.

    I was running out of space for a vegging plant so I dusted-off an old DIY-makeshift project I had tucked away in my closet. I made it out of four 3/16” X 2’ X 4’ MDF boards, two 30 “ hinges and some highly reflective (92%-97% ) 6 Mil Layer Diamond Film Foil. I just stand the panels on edge to form a 2’ X 2’ X 4’ grow space. I’ll hang a light over the top opening and place a 4 inch fan on the bottom. The grow space stays amazing cool since there is no roof so to speak of and the sides are vented beyond the hinges. If the light is too far from the plant I’ll place an egg crate or two on the floor until it grows more. When I’m done with it I’ll fold the panels up and store them on-edge in my closet. Here’s a few pics before I load-it-up.

    What can I say…I’m handy and wicked-cheap when I can get away with it. That’s why I grow my own weed.

    That's similar to how most of my cellar grows were done.

    If you raise the walls a bit, you can have the light lower. The warm air going out the top creates a chimney effect and draws cooler air in from the bottom.

    Got my 150 watt TS 1000 LED setup today in my "low-budget" 2' X 2" X 4'.
    Wow... this sucker is REALLY bright in there when cranked-up! I'll be putting some seedlings in it soon.
