Darkstalker420 LEVEL +10 - IN GOOD STANDING
Need Some Advice?

Hi purchased my equipment yesterday (birthday present from the mrs lol) got a 6L prestige PC some verm and perlite and a 24L plastic storage box and spores from a UK vendor. I PC'ed my potato LC for 15mins @ 10psi waited until cold and opened PC and tightened lid and stored (still with foil over lid) in cupboard. Later today i will inject spore solution into jar and see what happens. I really need advice about my FC as stated it is a 24L see through plastic storage box but i'm unsure exactly how to modify it into a FC.

The grow situation in our house is a little strange as my girlfriends 10 year old daughter comes in and out of the grow area (our bedroom) so the plastic box we have sits inside a larger cardboard box which is sealed to keep out prying eyes. This box has a small PC fan running off a phone charger so fresh air is pumped into the box. I used this box to grow a mycobox kit and all seemed ok (no signs of a lack of FAE) i was wondering how best to tailor the plastic box for this should i go Shotgun style or use fewer larger (maybe polyfilled) holes i guess i want to find out before i start cutting up the box.

Thanx.

First, welcome to the 'Topia!!

Sounds like you've done your homework!!

I say go with the polyfilled holes. For no other reason other than thats what works for me.

Also, it may be a good idea to make a hole in the cardboard box somewhere for exhaust.

I'm sure you'll get more opinions here, so let's see what other suggestions you get.
