No reason to not keep momz

I did this last summer for some plants I was gonna put outdoors, but then life and events intervened and it was too late. It worked well. 4 each of the cool white and warm colored bulbs(23 Watt CFLs 5500K and 3300K I think). 12,800 lumens worth. I think 1/2 that would have worked as well in hindsite for vegging/moms.
It's a 32gallon tote I think. I needed the fan casue it was hot then.

Not expensive at all. Vanity light fixtures were on sale. I liked the white metal. I got them to about 18" before ditching them. I had to keep "riggin" that wood thing I "rigged" for the fan, but they grew like mad.

B !!

You must be bored ....doing all that construction. That's why I used a light colored tote. This way I didn't need to mess with all that Poly. I didn't seem to have any temp problems either. I just propped the lid up on a lil southern engineered table I made. Then clipped a fan on that.

I admit the light won't be as good, but my plants did pretty good in mine.

MrMr - Almost, last summer I had a 6" scab for ~2mo on the side of my hand. If it was a different spot (not hands or feet) would have been a neat lil scar. Who you callin a cheif, Chief

Twull - In the 84w box with the fan going on the 5v charger, the temps stay +5-10 deg (fahrenheit) above ambient. With the single 23w or 18w bulb like I have now, I can just keep the lid closed and stay ~+10 deg.

SF - The B+W polly was more for lightproofing than reflectivity. The lights are so jammed in there, that it doesn't matter too much. I keep both of these going, and I just angle the fan 'opening' to reflect off of a black t shirt. The ambient light in the room is very little, the room the boxes are in faces the street, and I leave the blinds up for the dogs. It looks like a desk light or low wattage lamp or something is on in a corner from outside the room (hallway). Not enough light to prevent me from stepping on the brindle dog.

That box is the PERFECT environment for clones/sprouts. With the lil bulb, the temps come up enough to make it nice and humid (with the stuck fan), but not too much to cook em.

I just ate a poptart, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing, remembering a post I read WAY back. It went something like this:

Username - You can substitute an emergency blanket for the mylar in the box. I was collecting the poptart wrappers until my mom caught me CAREFULLY opening them and pressing them in my notebook. "You're not growing any pot in MY house!!" Damn, hippie Mom.
