Downside of Rubbermaid grow?

Thinking of setting up a 12/12 from seed small box grow just for fun. I have a pc grow box I made several years ago but honestly it's made poorly and definitely doesn't keep the light contained.

I'm looking at other options that are cheap, I have all the cfls/fans etc I just need a box. I keep seeing these sterilite/Rubbermaid container grows and I'm wondering how safe they are? I have this vision of the plastic melting in my head.

i know I could build a wooden box but that requires a saw and drilling which I don't have access to right now

I've been growing in a 50 gallon Rubbermaid for a long time! The only downside i have found is when the plants get huge it gets to be a pain in the ass to fill and change the resevoir.
Besides that.. I'd say do it!

Disregard.. lol I misunderstood

Sounds like fun though!

stay smokin'
