    Default My new growing case

    Wow, this thing has been in the works for sometime now...

    I think I mentioned it once or twice but Im almost happy with to, so Ill bear the pain of having things pointed out.. I started out with a 68" x 31.5" x 14" shelving from that Scandanavian furniture place. All pre drilled for multiple set up options. Took a large LARGE plastic bag, used to cover pallets of soil and covered the sides and top. I used my broke guitar strings strung from the predrilled holes to hang my mounts off of. There is a cheap ten dollar vaporizer on the bottom to boost humidity. For ventilation I hardwired an extra exhaust fan designed for a small bathroom, tons of air movement! Im tihinking about those thin profile computer style fans, but dont know where to get them so PM me with info? The door is 30" x 36" plexi, had a little trouble cutting it. Really stoked on the handle. It has snap hinges so it automaticaly closes or opens when it reaches a certain point. Little magnet things to close it. Im on the second story facing east, morning sun until 11 maybe at the most, but its reflected all day by the white building across from me. Everything in there is low light, besides the Dock...
