well heres some pictures of my crappy grow box!!
its pretty small but i only plan on growing 2 about 3 feet tall plants in there. right now i only have one cfl in it until they are about 4 or 5 inhes tall.
after that i will line the walls with them every 6 inches or so so that ill have fair bud production from top to bottom
any tips or suggestions or anything would be appreciated!!

remove the tin foil, and paint flat white. and dont you have an old closet,to grow in?, are you planning to flower in the box?. and with flos,
you need to think about what your doing, and get a proper grow space, before you start. do it rite. but the box should be ok, for now, till you sort somthing better. but unless you have about 16 lites, what all wont fit in the box, then you wont get many buds. id just start em off in the box, and while they are starting off, make a better grow space, and get a 250 hps or somthing, for 4 plants, if you grow 1 or 2 in that box, with flos, youll end up with about 1/8th a plant. it wont be worth it.

hey stone dont get discouraged you aked for advice and got hate mail instead look im using almost the same ste up and its working fine for me so far and i do plan on flowering in mine as well.. this is what you should think of doing go to a moving supply store near you u-haul etc. get yourself a grand wardrobe box the largest they have basically 2x2x5 and go from there add yourself about 3x cfm computer fans in the top left and then put 3x 3"holes in ther bottem right of your box to create yourself a passive intake for fresh air..ive got 6" fans for circulation one directly on the lights and the other coverring the plants for stem strenthening and further cir. im using a 4 pot dwc unit in mine so my humidity is dead on 40 to 50 % and i have a 150 watt hps centered with 3x42 watt cfl's on each side for full coverage. ill have some pics up as soon as i figure out my camera issues untill then happy groin better smokin .... peace pot prosperity...:peace::joint::mrgreen:

A buddy of mine took an armoire, alot like this one.


He hollowed it all out, so when you open up the two doors, he's got 2 nice size plants in there.
It's a very innovative design.
I wish I had pics of his setup, but he's extremely paranoid.
I'm the only one that knows about his grow.

Thats pretty much what i use. Its an old full standing entertainment center. I use the lower cabinet for my cloning/germination chamber, the middle drawer for porn, and the top area houses the lights, insulation, reflective material, fans, and plants.

I use clamplights with the clamps and reflectors removed and hung them from the top so i can move them up and down as i please. I also use bulb splitters. Its perfect.

hey you could use that shelf near the your set up, just cover the sides with sth lightproof, you also could make a frame out of wood and cover it with somthong like that.
