super cheap, super stealth rubbermaid grow box

looking at it from the outside.

little lower

inside

closer view of exhaust fan and light support rig with variable heights. lights will be attached via bolt and wingnut to easily move lights up and down when needed.

the fan is blowing air out, so negative pressure is created within the tubs. fresh air is constantly being pulled in through these two passive air intake holes in the bottom tub.

from a 12v adapter i found in my house to something i didn't need. i also pulled the fan out of an old computer, so all in all, this cost me 0 dollars.

i still have to do some touch up work on it and do a better job of moving around the wires. i'm not sure if i like the flat white though... i think i might just go ahead and mylar the whole thing.

MORE POWER!!!!!!!!1

a peek.

i'm gonna sex this one and see what it is before i decide to continue/kill it. i've got 4 clones vegging right now, 1 flowered plant, and this one. if it's male, i'll probably breed it. i like the way it's been growing, and when i drop the temps enough, it'll turn purple (found that out earlier on)

Those socket splitters are impossible to find in the UK.

yeah, they're like....2 dollars a piece? pretty much any store that sells any type of electrical device.

there's about 4 layers of primer, 5 layers of flat white paint, and now a new layer of mylar.
