Hey guys i have a small area under the stairs where im planning on putting a small 1 plant grow box. I have the germinated seed growing and itll need light soon so i need to come up with a plan on how to make the box soon. i have a normal shaped house light all differnt kinds. Also i have a few smaller like 20 por 40 watt long flourescent lights. I was wondering if nayone had any way to rig up the lgihts to the roof of a box or somthing so that it takes up the least amount of room possible so that i can keep it out of sight but still be able to grow it nicely. If anyone has ideas or has done a very small one like this before please give me some ideas.

Thanks
bryan

Yeah, when you say you have normal shaped house lights of all different kinds, I hope you have some fluorescents, other than your tube fluorescents, possibly some CFLs (futuristic spiral shaped bulps). Fluorescents will be the only lights you will probably be able to use, given your situation and you can get a 26 watt one for about 6 bucks. You'll probably need 2 of these for one plant. Under your stairs seems like a pretty sketchy place, but that's up to you to decide.
I don't know if this helped or not, but that's what I've got to offer.
