ya the leaves are what the plant uses to catch light just tie them down to where they can get light.

what kinda of light are you using growman? I thought I saw an HID hood. Looks good though. I've seen a couple of these stealth space ships lol. they look really good. Last one I saw guy had a 6 gallon hydro res inside a 20 gallon one and then another 20 gallon on top. Looked pretty cool. Personally I really hate messing with the cfls its too much working moving them all seperate and what not I like just moving one light at a time.

this is it and again sorry for stealing the thread. It now has 2 levels. Actually a 150 hps or 2 may work well in here getting back to the 150s

The rubber maid wouldn't be to small of a place for the 150??? I mean I have no clue how much heat they throw out but I know the 400 KICKS OUT some heat. I kinda want to invest in a smaller HPS for stealth grows but then when I move to a legal state it will just be a waste of money.

How to Create a 400 Watt HID Rubbermaid Grow
You Will need:
Three Rubbermaid bins
Three higher velocity fans
One lower velocity fan
A sharp razor or knife
Mylar, or flat white paint
Step one: Place one Rubbermaid bin right side up take cover of and put to side
Step two: remove the cover of a second Rubbermaid bin and place face down over the first Rubbermaid bin
Step Three: Cut a hole in the bottom of the top box
Step Four: put last Rubbermaid right side up with cover on top cut hole in bottom of Rubbermaid bin first
Step Five: Cut a hole in the second bin up on the side for one high powered fan
Step six: Cut directly opposite for the second high powered fan
both will be pumping air in
Step Seven: Cut a hole on the side of the top box so that the third and final high powered fan will fit blowing air out
Step eight: Cut a hole on the side of the bottom box so that the low powered fan will fit and blow on your plants nicely
Step nine: Affix hood and bulb so that it can hang from the cover of the top box
Step ten: put mylar all over the inside, if Mylar is not an option use flat white paint
Step Eleven: put them plants in there and let em grow
To access the plants simply take the top bin off the top,
to get all the way to the plants take the middle and top off
Anyway here of some pics of it and its results

Alright I'm loving the idea although I have an air cooled hood a 4" growbright inline fan and a 4" carbon filter. I would have no where for the filter I might have to tweak it a little bit by cutting two holes in the top and putting the carbon filter above the light. I deffinately need the filter for the smell I mean this can't even leave a HINT of weed. I am currently staying for the time being in my mothers rental house that she has the keys to and lives down block. But she is almost 60 so she doesn't make any trips into the attic I know for sure....... Wait well no that wouldn't work I don't think that lid will be able to hold my heavy ass hood. I mean its got a remote ballast but that thing is a good 20-25 pounds with the glass in. Thanks for the idea though if I can tweak it to work with the filter I let you know.
