Hey everyone just wanted to show the new growbox i built an get some feedback... its 38 inches tall 18inches wide and 18 inches deep..built from a 50 gallon rubbermaid container standing on end(i did not want to make a stacked rubbermaid box,they look like too much of a hassle to acess.. 16 bulbs 2700k 26 watt each about 28000 lumans.. 6inch canfan 235 cfm for ventilation and 5 2inch passive intakes at the bottom in the back they provide as light traps aswell(box stays around 10 degrees hotter than outside temp)..... i got a 6 inch elbow peice ontop of the fan painted flat black on the inside to trap a little of the light its gives off about as much as a night light in the dark. two layers of flat black paint and 2 layers of flat white paint( i used spraypaint from lowes made for plastic) its around 95 percent light proof id say..Plan on using a lowprofile pot to grow in to maximize the height of the plant..
i made this box for fairly cheap too..
no idea if anyone is interested in the price it took me to build but..
