Lava Lamp light

Go read how to rig a lightbulb socket (cost 39p from wilkinsons here in the uk, so like 50cent item) to a household plug, either chain all 3 sockets or just use 3 plugs and hang your energy savers in there if you really must do this, but as stated please remember that a lava lamp bulb is designed to put out heat, rather than light to melt the wax and cause the effect. It WILL cause a fire in that kind of environment, I can assure you. Remember that this is something that is expected to run for 12 hours largely unnattended.

You could safely hang 3 CFLs (just tie-wrap them to something if you want to be truly ghetto) in a decent sized box, you couldn't say the same for a lava lamp bulb.

Oh, and for what it is worth, I am with the other bloke who said it's frustrating when someone asks for advice, gets told what they are doing is a risk and then says "I'm doing it anyway", just consider that that will make it less likely that people will offer good advice and more likely that the crowd who like to hit stupid kids with sticks in the park will turn up.

Be safe.

dude if your worried about a fan making too much noise what are you gonna do when this plant starts budding and stinks up your whole room? you should really think this through, plan ahead, invest some time and money into this instead of doing it half assed. read some books and learn what your doing or your just gonna kill this plant. without proper ventilation your plants will die. at the very least they wont grow. why dont you just wait untill your out of your parents house before you start risking yours and their lives, and possibly freedom by burning down your house or getting your parents arrested. this is just a bad idea but have fun wasting your time

Times not wasted when your getting wasted!! On another note, can I just use those wedding candles on each side of my plant, theirs no fan so they should stay lit.
Edit: Sorry, I guess I shouldn't give out bad ideas

Ya man it will work great. Jus keep the box closed at all times so it locks in all the heat that the lamp gives off. . Don't use any vents and make sure to keep ur plants chopped under 10 inchs. I bet ull get a pound or 2 in a 12inch by 12 inch box, probly double that if u throw a flashlight in there aswell. Fuk, what's next? Growing with a cell phone screen?

Depends on the size of the screen, and the color of the background.

A friend of mine used cardboard, it failed completely. It gets really hot, maybe because he lined it with foil. It's not A efficient way to grow marijuana as others have said

lava lamp lights are hot enough to melt the fucking wax in the jar....you cant seriously want to put one on a box with a plant and think it wont die...why the hell would you want a 45 watt light that puts out more heat than a 1000w hps lol...and less light than a 50 watt incandescent lmao

This is a funny thread, spend at least £200 and you might get a little bit to smoke. Never mind air flow what about the growing medium, nutes, ph of the water, the fact you need to leave water 24 hour's so the clorine disipate's. Get back to the x box and you and your parent's might live a little longer.
 
I just made something like that, i have full confidence it will work. I took a shoe box, and cut a hole on the top and then taped the lava lamp on top( i changed the light bulb to something stronger) then i put a cup under it willa lot of seeds and i cut a whole into the side and put a fan next to it so CO2 is circulated. I hope it will work.
 
You could use newspaper tied together with highly flammable string, with one old lcd watch backlight for some great results.
