Growing Out of A Chevy Lumina; need help!

Hi everyone!

A buddy and I used to have good stable jobs, until his car blew a rod. We are avid smokers and have been unemployed for four months.(Well, he has). So instead of sitting on our asses this X-mas we've come out with the brilliant idea to turn his 1995 Chevy Lumina into a greenhouse, have to make some use of it. ;)

But my question is there a pretty straight forward shopping list that someone has created for a small indoor growing? I've watched many of the videos on here and read a lot of the FAQs but, I still can't get a grasp on what EXACTLY I need to buy and how much it'll run me.

Please, can anyone concoct for me a basic shopping list?

Also, if any of you have any tips or suggestions for growing in a car that'll help too.

THANKS! :hump: :peace:

strip the car down hardcore, good ventalation, and a good light. It might be a sweet plan. journal that shit if you do it. haha

So......

.2 small fans(one for intake and 1 for out).
.may be a cool tube.
.ducting if you get a cool tube(I would)
.light/ballast. whatever you want to go with.(I would put a 400 or 600watt hps)for buddig.
.light for vegging.cfl's ,fl's, hps , or mh. whatever you want(I would go mh)
.plasic polly or whatever.
.some sort of growing medium. water or soil.
.you got to know the temp and the humidity.(could mean heater, humidifier or a dehumidifer, may be even an ac).
. also ph.
.nutes.
.may be some sort or cloning juice. powder/gel.
.pots for soil/ or entire hydro setup.
.1 ossilating fan.
.1timer or 2 ,depends what you want to go with.
.1 surge protected power bar and a extension cord, and then blam your set. You just have to dip into your savings account a little, thats all.

I think that is about what my shoping list looked like, im sure Ill think of more.I hope this helps

The car isn't tall enough for Halides and HPS. Cut the roof and cover the hole with plexy and make it a small greenhouse, add short clones of a short strain and then block the light COMEPLETELY after 12 hours of good sunlight. Make sure you monitor temp and as always VENT. Cheap grow, cool look

you cud put the lite hps if you got one . over the outside were the sunroof is, that mite give you more hight and be cooler, if you boxed it in right?.10 40wplus flos.for top and sides if possable.you can add as you grow.
perlite/vacumate
pots
nutes
seeds/clones
fans. 1 to blow and i to expel
white flat paint or mylar. id just paint everything white
timer
pebbles for the bottom of pots, so its easy to drain/wash your plants, when needed
you cud put holes in the bottom, or just cut a bit out. so you have more pot room, it mite give you a foot or two more?lol
you cud use the boot as a cloning room,or to start on small fans.
hope it works for you.
any pics of the project/car. why not a normal shed?. wont it look shadey a car with wires coming out of it, fans going ect... and all the windows blacked out. what if someone tows it away.lol. only messing.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Haha, trust me, if we had any other place to do it better we would. But, his car has been parked in the back of his parking structure for some time now. The neighbors usually keep to themselves but in the event that one of them gets nosey, we got things covered.

And yes, I will work on getting up some pictures for you guys as soon as we set up.

Thanks again everyone. I'll be in contact shortly.
