THOSE ARE ALL TRUE, BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE GROWER. hOW RESPONSIBLE THEY ARE. i GOT TWO CARDBOARD GROW BOXES AND THERE STILL GOOD. oNE FOR VEG AND ONE FOR FLOWERING. tHE PIC WITH THE TENT IS DA DAY I PUT THE CHEM INTO A BIGGER FLOWERING TENT. THYE BOXES STAYED BELOW 75 DEGREES.

yea thats wat i was thinkin! it never went over 74.7!i was really impressed considering i was usein my closet my last grow and i couldnt get it under 80. if u lined the box with reflective material wouldnt that help with the fire risk an good amount too? right? i really wanna c this werk, and fer a long tyme too! ********any advice will help!!!!!!!!!!!*********

i wouldnt go for cardboard personally lol...several things can happen...they arent sturdy..if they get wet the collapse..too hot they catch fire..and they look obvious haha..why not a computer ?

not sturdy??!!?man i weight 130 and i hung from the bar that runs throo the middle....and any thing with as much electricity as floescent or hps light bulbs u wanna b careful about water around it, go look at one of these boxes at u_haul it was like 30 bucks! triple layered walls on it, i dunno!

only if the reflective material is touching the main source of heat it might catch fire.

ok soo i put 4 cfl's in the box too and i got 2 timers so wat i was thinkin is mayb run them (hps/cfl's) 6/6-6/6 a day or 12/12 a day? but i was worried about the wear and tear on the hps tho?? but it looks dope tho!! hahaa. oh and none of the lights touch the card board or nuthin the hps is hung from the top and the cfl's r held by these chrome bathroom ficture type things about 4-5 inches long, theyr in a j shape tho so they fit really nice
