My Ghetto Veg box.....

Also I plan on growing only 1-2 plants, Most likely 1.

cardboard box = fire hazard

haha yea for real. don't burn the house down

Well I mean the light is not touching the cardboard.

cardboard is not a fire hazzard when using CFLs, ive had a few goes with it.

I wouldn't use cardboard for a few reasons..

1. It is potentially a fire hazard.
2. Get it wet accidentally and it'll just start sagging and easy to tear.


But i guess everyone works with what they have.

Could you not get a rubber maid container?
or even a small wooden box?

There's also a factor of tearing the box by accident.
I mean, what are you going to do for ventilation?
you'll find it hard mounting some small pc fans to the box.

Just some ideas.

or you can fall on or lean into the box when your blazed trying to tend on your lady...

Guys these are 100W CFL's, Not a HPS, How would they cause a fire hazard? I mean the lights are not touching the cardboard.
