This is the box after I got it in the attic . the inside dimentions are 49"x23"x33. I used a mixture of reflective roofing board. And styro board. Both seen to be doing very well.
I have the box tied into the a.c. duct that was very close by (blocked off the vent below and redirected airflow with styro board) I then constructed a double male ended box the ent into holes cut in the duct and the box.
To have all time access to the wires. So I used hinges I found in somebody's trash and screwed it into the board. However I ran into a proble with the position of the hindg and top so I cut a small line and inserted the hinge into the styro-board that have it far more strength then just screwed the hinge onto the end of the board.
I inset all the light fixtures into a piece of roofing board 3/4" thick (also used roofing board for the floor board) vs styro-board 3/8"thickness
I used a bus terminal to attach all fixtures to main power in (junction box I wired a three-way-splitter into ) I found the terminal in a broken toy . power to 1/2 of bus then I used 12ga. Barebright to piggyback power to other 1/2 of bus terminal.View attachment 3751824 fixtures all labeled and chords are all one color for + and - currents. Ledgend is written out on board for easy refrence for wire trace. (power chord is cut at both ends and I spliced a GFI circuit interrupted for fire safty ( after all its co bed together )
Upper light panel is floating above plants and is attached by Lilly system so light box can be lower or raised for plant needs
This is a fan I pulled out of an above range microwave. (i need to wire a switch on it so I can make it run in reverse to cent out cabanit.
I was growing in my tool closet off of a work bench I constructed using only pallets and it's nails (very sturdy).
Worried about the complex workers and my landlord I moved into the attic with a box I built with materials I found or had around my apartment. I am always broke ( I smoke too much) so I had no cash to put into this project. I ran out of room for pictures so I will post the inside pics in a reply to this
