Well i went for it. Decided the other day to start a micro hydro setup. consisting of a pc case box and some tupper ware, a few air stones and a couple air pumps. It is powered by 2x 200 watt compact flors one cool and one warm. plz give me some input. tell me any thing u think could be changed for the better. also im using Advanced nutes and its being phed out at 5.5 and my ppm is at 450. temps are fine and humidity is high for the cuttings.

Pretty cool, the only thing that concerns me is the fact its made of flammable cardboard. those lights do put off some heat and I just hope nothing would spark or cause too much heat. Just be careful bro. peace!

I agree!!! thank you all for your concern about my safty and yes i have taken that into consideration. SO i put a 140 cfm cpu fan on the side pulling the air out seem to drop temps by alot and i have run it for several days continuesly checking to see if it was To Hot. come to find that with the installation of that fan the card board witch is covered in aluminum cans gets to be about "warm" to the touch. and the lights them selfs are just "hot" but not "burning"

so idk guys what do u think i would like input on another way of riging the system in some other form of container. IE metal case of some kind

your concept is ghetto, but it looks like you put a bit of tlc in your setup. i dig it. the lights on the "lid" flap is pretty nifty. good luck with your grow!

Thanks man! it should just be another 1-3 days for the roots to pop on these clones. so after that i will be able to post more about whether its going to work or not, till them keep them green.
