Thats an awesome idea for a grow.
If it were me, and because i like the idea of this so much it just might be. I would install maybe 4 fans in the sides. 2 blowing in 2 blowing out. Then wrap the inside with Mylar then take off the Plexiglas top. Use it as a template to cut a lid out of plywood, and then wire a bunch of those plastic light socket plates to it. If the ventilation was right that thing would work like a charm.

The problem is you're trying to be different just to be different. If you want to grow weed there are plenty of proven systems that can be built for cheap. IMO, you're trying to reinvent the wheel just for kicks and most people aren't into that is why you aren't getting comments would be my guess.

Not saying there is anything wrong with being different, sometimes trying too hard turns people off though. Good luck.

do you have the measurements on that thing by any chance?. . i dont know what type of material that thing is made of. . but it will deffinatly need some vents cut out.. and maybe mylar on the walls to get rid of the black. . other than that.. i dont see why you wouldnt be able to veg some plants in there. .

Personally, I think if you are gonna mylar the walls, make sure there is no slack in the mylar. Stick it to the walls of that thing and make it look real neat. I'm sticking around for the outcome that's for sure. lol
