High Everybody, I just finished building my first grow box and am hoping to get some helpful feedback from you guys before I start growing. It's approx. 48"x30"x18" (just small enough to fit in my closet)
My goal when building this was to keep it cheap, so I used some basic shelving board for the sides and framed it with 2x4's then used some thick plastic sheeting I had from an earlier project to cover the top, back, and door. Then I covered the plastic sheeting with some old towels to keep block the light and keep it insulated (gets pretty chilly in these parts).
I was also thinking of put some mylar sheeting up around the inside, but I'm not sure yet.
For lights I decided to use cfl's because I have a bunch on-hand. Right now I've got 2x20w, 4x26w, and 2x48w (with reflectors) hanging from some cheap clamp lights. the 20w and 26w bulbs are daylights and the 48w bulbs are softer. There are 3 pc fans wired with the lights for cooling and ventilation.
Does anyone have an questions, comments, or advice?
Thanks,

Sorry the pics are sideways, I'm just too lazy to rotate them.
