Well all was going great until today.

On Sunday, I brainstormed a little bit on what to do my grow in. I thought using a refrigerator was the best choice, however, after setup, I noticed that the reefer is wayyyyyy to hot to grow in, and has over an inch of insulation. With 3 CFLs running, after an hour the inside is like an oven.

I need ideas. I need a new grow room IDEa fast because one of my seeds are germinating still and the other one is in the soil, and I'm going to put it outside tommarow morning. I want this grow indoor. My roomies know about it so I don't hAve to hide anything. Any Idea will be greatly appreciated.

I have experience with growing, but my first ever grow wasn't successful. PleAse help me make this one a successful grow :)

Do you have any extra space in the house or bedroom? I personally like grow tents. They can get a little expensive , but you can shop around on the internet and get a decent tent for cheap. Are you growing with soil or hydro?

Well I do have space in my room, where the reefer is lol. I'm going to take it out of my Room today.
I'm using soil.

How Can you make a grow tent? And the number one problem I always have is how to Hang my lights. I used lamp cords for my light source, I've learned that using tape to hold lights up isn't a good idea.. Lol

how much is your budget? you can use a rubbermaid trashcan. just make sure you get a small fan to suck air out and hang the lights from the lid using small nylon rope. plywood, 1x2's and paint is another route.

goto home depot or walmart or lowes and just see what size youre gonna need to grow your plants, make sure you can fit your pots in the bottom. generally 1 gallon per 1 foot of growth on the plant. so in order to grow a 3 ft plant you need a minimum of a 3 gallon pot for it. i keep mine to under 2 ft tall and have no issues in a 2 gallon pot. i have pics of my roots from the last plant i cut down in my sig. you'll want a minimum of 65watts per plant as well. best cfl's are in the 23-27w range for lumen per watt ratio anyways.
