Cardboard box grow box?

    LiveForMusic182 You high bra?

    Ive been going back n forth...whether to use the small grow tub i have...or to just buy a grow box. I feel like i've been thinking about this way too much. What if i just got a huge cardboard box...the size of the grow space i need....get some mylar and coat the inside...and obviously it'd be easy to cut holes for wires and such.

    What are the pros and cons on this? Has anyone tried this? I think one of the biggest pros in my opinion would be...its a cardboard box...its stealthy. What do you guys think!

    Maybe even something like this?

    You can buy yourself a safer box for cheap ;) The you won't have to worry so much every time you leave the house. The closet thing would be much better than cardboard box, but not all 'boxes' are cardboard.

    Exactly what i was thinking Duner. Great minds think alike!

    Grab yourself 2 of those Rubbermaids. Make the "top" to have and secure your lights at the top of the Rubbermaid. You can realistically do (3) rows of (5) or even (6) CFLs at the top, know what i mean?

    Mounting a surge protector on top of the box will utilize your space as well and be safe.

    You can get some weatherstripping, foam or Duct Tape to secure the boxes together. Mainly youll want it light proof, obviously.

    Make sure you have a good passive intake and with a setup like this you should have no problem making a 70-100CFM PC fan work.

    Set them on top of eachother and create a seal with whatever it is you choose. This will give you the extra height when it comes time for flowering and also still have a steady, stable, little room for your ladies.

    If your handy and have tools you can follow my sig as well.

    Theres is a person on here that literally i just came across that had a nice looking rubbermaid setup.

    I been trying to get my buddy tokin to do it the other way, hardheaded! :lol:

    No matter the situation, its about being safe and doing it right.

    You dont want your house/apartment to go up in a blaze due to (1) plant, eh?

    Think ahead and realistic while using common sense. lol
