I was Inspired to minimize and maximize by Brijizacks post on his stelth box.

Wonder what happened to him?

I started a new project in the shop at work.
I had an old frig sitting around, the frig part Is about his box dimention.

Frig freezer combo. So I used the freezer for the fan and Ballasts drilled
a 4 1/4" whole between the two, in the back center. and a 3" hole out the back for the vent. Drilled 17 - 3/4" holes in the bottom all around the edge. and ran 5/8" pvc through the bottom where the dusty compressor used to be. Then I installed 2-150w HPS ( converted gate entry lights the big 4 sided looking things) fit perfect.
I ordered 2 shallow water foggers ( One for this box) one for later.
So far the frig is working . Lights and fan that is.
total cost sofar on the frig.
Fogger $24.95
Resavor 24x16x9 $ 4.95
Spunges $ 1.99
Total $31.89 + Time

The Fogger's arrived last thursday. There cool little things.
Here are some cool pics (not installed Yet)
1) arrived
2) companents
3) in 3gal of water started foggin
4) looks like its on fire
5) foggin ( not sure if thats enough?) might have to use both foggers.

When I get the frig finished and home I'll post some pic's of it. I still have to install the air filters and set the container platform,

Good luck Retired? I will be interested in how you apply the 'shallow water fogger' to your system. Will it float? Will it dangle? These are questions that I'm anxious to see answered . . .

Sounds good to me old fart. Just another fun Project for me.

Time to pack my bags I'm moving to construction.

Hello OP

I ready to start this project back up again. You think you could it to construction for me? My current grow is almost ready to harvest.
I'll start a Journal of this Grow when I'm ready.

Thanks.

Hello All

I'v learned a lot the past few months here so I've decided it was time to finish the Frig.

I decided to use the frig as a clone/Veg box instead of flowering. the 3'X3'X7' box will work fine for that. I will be installing a 1000w HPS before I start.

The frig is pretty basic 2-150w Hps, 70cfm bath exaust fan, and the racks for the frig to adjust the plant height. The grow container is the one designed by Brijisacks for his mini box, with a few modifications. I'm adding an electric float vaulve to maintoin the water level in the fogger container conected to a pump in an external res. Just eliminates having to move the plants, this part isn't completed yet, very simple to set up though. Here's some pictures of the frig.

I built a multipurpose Grow container for flowering,m that will be used in the 3X3 room, I can use it as a Fogger, Aero or for DWC. It all depends on how I set it up

I used the same size container as the frig a 35qt for thr fogger area and a 2qt. container for the fogger its self along with a float vaulve to maintain the water level that is connected to a pump in the 66qt nutrient res. It halds 6 gallons of neutrients.

Brijisacks had stated that using net pots woulden't allow the fog to penetrate to the roots. I decided to see if it would or not. I set the whole thing up and tryed it. After 6 hours the fog had penetrated all the of the expanded clay I'm using in 3in. net pots except for the top layer of clay. It seams to work so I'm going with it.

I've set the container up for 8 plants around the fogger to minimize root interferance. There is only 1 hole in the fogger tray to allow condinsation to return to the main res. and fog falls through it. Looks kinda cool.

Except for the instalation of a 1000w HPS and sealing the containers from the light and the completion of My ACF. I'm about ready, a few more weeks and I'll start germinating some African Swazi Redbeard, and see how it all works.

Any coments or suggestions are welcome.

Until then.

retired?, excellent set-up. Simple, but complete and neatly assembled. I've had the fogger thought running through my head ever since I first read that thread. Now with more people experimenting with them, I hope to see enough different approaches to help me try my own.

One quick question, though. Is that a light on the fogger unit? I believe I recall a comment on the original thread that mentions covering any lights with tape or something else light-blocking to keep any light off the roots. Also, any light inside the nutrient area will encourage pythium (?) growth on the roots or inside the container itself.

Not sure if that is totally correct, but the hydro growers go to great lengths to eliminate any light from the root/nutrient areas.

Thanks again for sharing your set-up in detail.

Hello KRASCH, Thanks.
I'm trying to get away from the 5gal. buckets, they take up to much space.

Thank you for pointing that out I forgot about that. A little Black tape or black fingernail polish should fix that ( I have 4 girls in the family)

I just hung My first succesfull Plant. I dried 4 branches of buds in the dehydrater and got 3/4 of an OZ.. cant wait till the rest Dries Natural. I should have every thing cleaned up and repaired in a few weeks.
Then we'll all see how well it works.

More to come. Thanks again
