so heres the deal. I've got a custom iguana cage, that is no longer occupied.
I just finished my first grow in it, and ran into a ton of problems.
I want to use it again, but make some modifications.
its a 2 foot X 5 foot X 7 foot and has two plexiglass doors already installed.
there is hole to run cords out of, but thats it. its bare.
What would you do to it?
how would you do lights, exhaust, CO2?
pretend cost is not a factor (in reality it is) but just pretend.
hydro or dirt? ScrOG? SOG? HID or CFL?
the biggest problem ive had is heat. just FYI
just though id throw it out there. Maybe someone has an idea i haven't thought of.
thanks
Ok here we go..
Parts needed
LARGE diamond tip drill bit - preferably the size of the fans on a pc fan, not the size of the whole thing, just the spinning fan inside it. (see attached image for clarification)
Small diamond tipped drill bit - For drilling four holes like a box around the large hole so you can Fix your intake and out take fans.
Three PC fans - One for intake, one for out take and one for inside to keep air circulated.
Timer - for lighting..
CFLs - As many as you can fit in the top without the bulbs touching.
Light Fixtures - For the CFLs
DIY Carbon scrubber - about $10 to make, See the link below, (it's full of links to DIY carbon scrubbers) use during flowering.

Reflective material - Panda film or Mylar.
-------------------------
LST and Scrog. Soil or hydro is up to you.
If you are looking into hydro check this grow micro hydro grow..

A cheap light which you could very well do, which may be better than CFLs is a home Security light, check the following link for details.
International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - converting a home security light into a remote ballast grow light (the OG FAQ)
If you are not sure about how well CFLs can grow weed check this link out..
International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - ***DrBud Takes CFL SOG to the Next Level***
He uses 3/4 pop bottles to grow with and gets very decent buds..
Hope this helps.
p.s.
The image will show you the idea i had for fixing the pc fans to the box.
You could always drill out the hole on the plexi glass, saving you money.
(won't have to buy diamond drill bits)
Just remember, Out take HIGH. intake LOW.
Heat rises, best to exhaust it while it's hottest right?
