I have a small grow light that I purchased from Amazon.
I used this light to start all my ILGM seeds in February for planting in Massachusetts outdoors.
(Blue dream, critical mass, gold leaf, zkittles) - The outdoor grow is going great. 7 outdoor plants are healthy 5-7 feet tall and starting to flower (mid August).
After vacating my indoor lights and moved all plants outdoors, I decided to play with some indoor auto flower. I was curious how well my infinity charcoal filter would do, so I grew two White Widow autoflower. I was training them and broke one…so I was down to one. This is just as well, as I only have room for one plant in the tiny grow space. I run 24hr of light and put it outside in the sunlight on good days.
I topped it and started to train it, to live within the bounces of my grown space (in my office under desk).
The grow area is 20inch wide, 3 ft deep and height is limited to the desk height. <30 inches.
The plant is thriving in the ONE gallon pot with nothing but some potting soil and Bergman fertilizers.
I know this isn’t an efficient way to grow but it’s entertaining.
I have a few more week left, but I Will post my results. I was worried it would smell, but it hasn’t…which means I may be growing all winter too =)

Very nice
Interesting box set up you got there for sure
It’s simple, great air flow, and uses little room. I use it mainly for seedlings: cannibas and veggies.
I got the top and bottom from Tractor Supply. Simple 2x4 frames allow me to raise the light, as the LED is fixed to the ceiling half. Cheap and simple. This is my max height.
One major flaw is that it’s not light-proof…so I couldn’t use it for flowering phase on non-autoflower, as there would definitely be light bleeding through.
My office is on the 2nd floor and the house is air conditioned to 72F throughout, so heat management isn’t a problem.
Getting a jump on plantings for May 1 gives me a huge advantage for harvesting. I also gave many friends seedlings that were 12-18 inches tall. One of them calls me “Johnny pot-seed”
Here are my other 7 plants. Started from seed on Feb 14 this year. Started in the under desk box, moved to a mini greenhouse through May 1, then moved to permanent location on Mothers day.
