So I'm just finishing work on a semi-permanent grow box. I made the box 3'X2'X5'. I had originally intended it to be bigger but the roof in my attic slants down and therefore I'm limited a little in height. I cut the pieces into the right sizes and used 8 three way joints to make it into a box. I then made the walls out of a thick black poly. I just used tape to hold them into place. I then made one of the walls my door by putting velcro strips all the way up one of my 5 foot vertical pieces and on the end of the plastic piece. I hung my 400w mh by tying rope to all four top pieces and putting it through a pulley and attaching to my light (this way I can move the light in any direction by just letting out some rope or pulling some in). Finally I ripped down an old shitty dresser and used the pieces to nail down a makeshift floor since the floor in my attic is just insulation and 2x4's. I would have made a more solid box but I'm going to be moving in August and didn't want to waste a lot of money only to have it ruined in the move! Also I think the "soft" walls should make ventilation a snap. Any advice or comments are much desired kiss-ass

Feels weird asking the first question on my own thread oh well...Does anyone have any good ideas on how I should collect water. I would make a second floor higher and drain it into a bucket or something of that sort except for the fact that I'm limited in height. Also I'll try to get some pics up in a day or two
Hopefully somebody can give me some ideas but until then I guess it might be wise to mention that right now my only method of keeping water I use to water the plants from seeping into my ceiling is the small plastic trays that go under the pots I have them in. This is more work than it's worth because I have to water slowly until the trays fill up and then pour them out and keep watering till im finished.

your could use the tray that people use for flood tables.
sounds like a good idea....there aren't any hydro stores around here so where could I get one at. Also it seems like there should be an easier solution...your could use the tray that people use for flood tables.
