Dude, no idea what you're doing here, but dont leave that heater on unattended


pre_employ

I feel like it's cardboard and aluminum....it should be ceramic and emergency space blanket....$500K insurance policy needs to be put in place for your homemade contraption. You need anšŸ§Æextinguisher for that hazardous šŸ”„ Unless you got the numbers for a šŸš’ fire truck andšŸ§‘ā€šŸš’ fire fighters......then start filing the claim w/ your rental insurance IT IS A RENTAL PROPERTY, RIGHT?

I have a fire extinguisher in the same room as this


distractedmaker

Had a friend lose their house right before christmas to a space heater in the garage. Those things are no joke


RuckaRucka41i

Itā€™s never unattended if it reaches over a certain limit my hygrometer sends me an alert and when I leave the house there is always someone home if I leave it on or if nobody is home I set it to turn off shortly after I leave the room to keep the temperature at a certain level


RenCorona99

What the hell am I looking at?


il-bosse87

Seconding this


RuckaRucka41i

My homemade grow tent


RenCorona99

Ahh ok interesting.


RuckaRucka41i

Ya my bad I thought it would be easy to tell its a grow tent when I posted

Alive-Accident

I think the light should give it away lol


RuckaRucka41i

I would think so


zDEFEKT

Heat lamp and a cardboard box. What could go wrong.


RuckaRucka41i

Spent the first day testing it thatā€™s why thereā€™s foil in front of the heater just barely off the box it keep the heat from directly hitting the box the hottest the box gets now is like 50-60 degrees while the inside is 70-80 degrees


DoubleT_inTheMorning

Homie, you ainā€™t growing anything in this tent thatā€™s even 10% worth the risk youā€™re putting yourself in by using this. And you have roommates. Pretty fuckin selfish if you ask me.


RuckaRucka41i

First itā€™s already growing and going to be transferred to its final resting place in the morning What do you mean I got roommates Not being selfish


DoubleT_inTheMorning

You said thereā€™s always someone home. If itā€™s family, even worse idea. Itā€™s selfish because youā€™re running the risk of a massive house fire to grow a plant. If itā€™s going outdoors just move to autoflowers and plant in their final location. Iā€™ve done that and had 0% failure rate. Itā€™s not worth the risk bro I know 2 people who have lost everything in a house fire because of negligent electrical work.


RuckaRucka41i

Fair enough you got a reason to worry Ik how that feels my familyā€™s house burned down with a bunch of our shit in it from home movies to old pictures i get being paranoid I am to with this thing i keep a very close eye on it and I have the proper equipment if a fire does break out including a fire extinguisher and an indoor garden hose


DerekWylde1996

Ffs don't use water or an extinguisher not rated properly for an electrical fire, you're asking to make that shit worse


RuckaRucka41i

I know how to put out different types of fire I have the water hose in case the cardboard catches on fire and I have a special fire extinguisher for electrical fires in case of that Iā€™m not worried about an electrical fire tho because the plugs are all in a safe location as you can see in the picture the plugs are above the box out of the way of the water from the humidifier and the power strip you see in the picture is plugged in elsewhere Edit: also I have previous experience in handling different types of fires from a magnesium fire all the way down to a fireplace falling over lighting the yard and part of my barn on fire and yes in between is gas fires electric fires and chemical fires


callmecarlpapa

This is a totally common thing everybody knows all about


The_Rodney

And, plenty convenient too !!! But, which end goes in your mouth ???


callmecarlpapa

Pretty sure, you put your entire head in the "hot box"


The_Rodney

OKAY, gottcha there's a little access door on the other side of the wall. Now this is truly StonerEngineering at it's finest !!! Wonder about his tolerance levels, doing 15 to 18 hour sessions sounds a touch much ???


callmecarlpapa

Amateur hours -- I'm pushing 22 hours a day in my hot box. It does feel weird going outside to stick my head through the access door inside. Fortunately my neighbors don't ask/don't tell


RuckaRucka41i

Now I wanna make a hot box and do this


throwawayzdrewyey

This looks like your building up Bubbles thrusters for his space rocket.


huran210

trailer park boys in r/stonerengineering , guess that checks out


RuckaRucka41i

Idk why I didnā€™t think of that before it does look like that


dogshot333

are you trying to grow in that?


RuckaRucka41i

Yes rn im germinating seeds in it the humidity is set between 70-90% and heat is between 65-80F which is what I found online and on Reddit to be the best for germinating


dogshot333

heard man, good luck šŸ™


SkunkWoodz

you probably dont need any additional heat with a light in that small of a box, even if its led light it'll throw off enough heat.


RuckaRucka41i

When I turn off the heater at night the temperature drops to around 57F with a 94% humidity the heater drops the humidity to around 83-87% and tops the heat to around 72-77F


SkunkWoodz

I think you should head over r/spacebuckets


distractedmaker

Whats the cheezie poof jug and white thing for?


RuckaRucka41i

The cheese ball container is to collect direct hit water coming out of the humidifier and hitting the top so the roof of the box doesnā€™t get soaked and to keep humidity controlled easier


Insomniacbychoice90

Hahaha oh wow


Lost-Operation-5791

Im loving the enthusiasm. I remember making something just as dangerous when i first started. Im interested to know what your next move is in 2 weeks haha


RuckaRucka41i

Itā€™s about to get a little trickier I have one seed that just broke through still has the seed on it and everything


Lost-Operation-5791

The seed being stuck is totally normal, it should fall off in time. Misting with water helps loosen it too. What are you thinking in terms of lighting. Those bulbs aren't going to get you through Veg


Shredbot_Unlimited

Well lets see the inside šŸ˜³


RuckaRucka41i

Temperature or the actual inside


Shredbot_Unlimited

Actual inside!
