What is that an xbox box?
Not trying to crush ur goal but whats the point?
How much do u really imagine yourself harvesting out of that box once it has lights, fans and plants in it?

Not a Xbox box, it's size is not as small as in pic. 30x50x70 cm
my goal is autos and 1 plant will be enough for me to get some experience and to understand what's goin on there :)

i would just use the white on the inside. this isnt going to be a spectacular grow box so why spend unnecessary money to cover the walls with something thats not going to make much difference in this situation. also if the box is going to catch fire the mylar isnt going to change that... also may want to think about the height of the box considering your going to have a pot which is going to add inches to the overall height of the plant. but if people can grow in pc cases then why not a large box? goodluck my man!

Actually my first goal is not getting grams, I choose a cardboard because I can carry all equipment that I will use to somewhere else. My goal is to gain some experience on equipment and make observation here afterwards whenever I already have some experience I am planning to make a better one. (Not a cardboard :))

looks interesting. is it supposed to stand up like that? looks like its supposed to be laid over. if your going for stealth wont it be a little noticeable that its standing on its side? if your not going for stealth then have at it! make sure to light proof them doors and get a good air flow in that thing.

I don't have a stealth problem that's why I am thinking that vertical will be better. Yeah I am planning to install a toilet fun and DIY simple carbon filter to the top of the box and intake fans to bottom. And after installation of lights I ll check light isolation. Thats my plan si far just waiting equipments to start )
Thx Shmokie225

Hello again, I just started to build my growbox.
Light fixture is made from cake tin, I will install bulbs tomorrow and then ventilation + DIY carbon filter. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
