Good evening all!

Tonight I thought I’d try out something different. For me it’s always difficult to go through with my projects. So I though, hmmm.. maybe I should hold my self accountable by posting here! So follow along if you might and maybe we will learn something, or nothing. But we will try to have fun doing so!

 

So the name of the game is..

I need a box in which to propagate my soon to be cut first try at clones! I am prepared with a ”Platinum Super Cloner 30” and by my understanding this is a aeroponic approach with two 360 degree nozzles and a res. + pump. Neoprene disks and space for 30. 

 

This box will be used for cloning and naturally seed sprouting. The dimensions are as follows as shown in this quick GIF I made of me sketching the ”box”.

Plan check

Execution beginning. I have prepared the materials for this build after work with ”scraps and cutoffs”. I cut up some 18mm birch plywood for the top and bottom + the ”uprights” at either end of the two side + either side of the back opening (not shown in sketch). The side panels will be made up of ”backing board” used here for kitchen cabinet rears. For the door I went with a cutoff piece of aluminum tread plate 3mm, powdercoated RAL-9016 white. (Used to ”run” the powder coating department at our company, so it’s easy to get favors) Here’s all the just stated pieces cut and also all the ”other stuff” thats going into the build!

I’ll start out by buolding the ”frame” of plywood. Pre-drilling all holes and screwing in with approx 4,2x60 screws. This is my first step, I will be back after this!

(and maybe another bowl..)

Okay…

I was sure everything was ready and good-to-go. But what was the very little detail I had forgotton.. well the PH2 bit for the drill ofcourse!

Well you know, just get one from somewhere. But the problem is I know exactly where that damn PH2 is. It is exactly in the same place as my 10mm socket… Hell

okay okay, I know the cats dropped it off some table and flicked it into the unkown. But after a good while I found a random PH2 from lidl attached to a screwdriver. 

So now!
It begins!

Alright!

The frame is built. Wasn’t bad. Thankfully I have two machines so I dont have to keep changing bits/drills. Here’s how the frames lookin!

image

Next to attach the frame to the wall with a cleet. So im going to screw this piece of ream to the wall with a laser and hang the frame from it. Then screw the frame to the wall through the plywood uprights on the back side👍🏻

image
image

Now just to hang the frame, screw it to the wall and bam!

image

Man am I sweating. This is my lung room and it’s like 60% and 24c.. But man is it awesome to build stuff!

Now im gonna cut some ”silver paper” or as we here in Finland call and use it ”Sauna paperi ≠ Sauna paper” we use this in our sauna behind the last layer of our inside wall to reflect heat back into the sauna. Ill cut and attach pieces to the sides before attaching them. And loosen up the screws holding it to the wall to sneak the paper behind them (I may have forgotten to get more staples for my stapler😬)

Ill be back after installing the paper and sides!

@sausag that's coming together nicely and a worthy project to consume a Friday. I'm hearing you with the sweating part, was sealing a grow room last week and it was 38° with the same rh. We had the white gravy happening for sure 👌

@improper_weed_viking I would die in those temps. With my ADHD Im always already very hot. I hate winter even though in the summer it feels like torture while sweating😬😬 Well Im a little happy it’s winter still so I can just crack my porch door a little to cool off💪🏻

Just a query, do you have plain white? Not sure what silver paper is but if its like aluminium alfoil that can cause hot spots from magnification

Okay!

Sides are on. Reflective paper is on three sides!

image

 Now that thats taken care of, I can turn my attention to the door. Im going to hang three hinges onto the top of the frame snd then with self tapping screws screw them to the door!

image

Ill use the hinges lower holes first with self tapers into the alu door. Then one next to that through both metals💪🏻

image

Nice!

Now I am again facing a problem. I forgot to buy a 100mm hole saw. Well I have to check the basement to see if I have anything there. I could just drill lots of holes next to eachoter for air holes. But come on, isn’t it cooler to actually use vents! I happen to have some 100mm on hand and thought id put two at eatch end with pc fans over the other on a timer to change the air from the box👍🏻
