ok i have a hammer and i have nails and a screw driver and maybe a saw. i want to build a grow box that can fit 4-6 plants in it and can be used for both veg and flowering. what LxWxH would you make? i plan to go to lowes or home depot and get some wood and nails and hinges. also what type of wood should i get?

maybe around 3'x3'x5' or maybe 7-8' tall...are you working in a small space? As for what kind of wood...I would say some MDF(think thats the name).

Are you planning on completely lining the inside with some sort of plastic? Moisture and wood doesn't go too well together.

well moisture doent work well with much really, sheetrock doesnt work well when wet either, but still used in bathrooms...There shouldnt be a concentration of moisture in your grow space anyways really...but if this is a concern just build a frame out of 2x2's or PVC pipe and cover it with panda film.

if i got a staple gun could i just build a frame and find a material to staple to the frame? and for exhaust and intake i plan to just get dryer duct and small 4 inch fan on the outside with the duct taped to the front of the fan and into a hole on the side of the box and then vis versa for the exhuast. what kind of material can i use?

would a 36x20x62 be big enough for 4-6 plants?

or a 48(length)x48(height)x20(depth)?

http://cgi.ebay.com/MOTHER-KEEPER-CO...742.m153.l1262 do you think this is worth 300? it comes with a tent and a 20,000 lumen lamp with bulbs and some other stuff like fans.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

edit: Personally, if I had the extra cash and wanted one of these grow setups I would pay the extra $35 dollars and get http://cgi.ebay.com/CLOSET-CULTIVATO...QQcmdZViewItem
I don't think you get the growbox but you get everything you would need to put in the box if you built it. I mean everything but the seed, a couple fans and something to control smell if that is an issue. All you would have to do is either mimic their box or build a bigger one and you could get some really good yields. It is also $10 less for shipping.
