Hi all,
So, since I am moving now and cant do an outdoor grow, I decided I'd make a cheap cardboard 1 plant grow box. So far I have done a lot of research, and I am pretty confident in my plan, but, the one thing that worries me is the CFL's in my cardboard box. I've read online about all the safety mechanisms in CFL's, and what happens when they die. So, with the included pictures, do you think I will really have a safety problem, if one dies and im not around? Is there any cheap way to make it so I dont have to worry about it? (On a really tight budget at the moment, really sucks). Also, the lights will basically be at 1/3 and 2/3 of the width of the box, so i can get better light spread. (The box does not have its top on in the photo, but its about 1.5' x 1.25' x 4.5')
