I would like to thank Roseman for all of his invaluable information in getting me to this point. My set up will be 8 26 watt cfls 4 @ 2700k and 4 @6500k. I have a ten gallon tote that I plan to have 6 plants in utilizing the bubbleponics system that Roseman outlined in his tutorial. I have tried to do everything DIY and will document how I did it.
The first thing I had to do was build a Grow Tent. I went to home depot this morning an picked up 5 10' lenghts of 1/2" pvc pipe, 8 T fittings and 8 T fittings with one side smaller than the others. To build a 5'x3'x2' tent first cut 2 lengths of pipe in half to get the 4 5' lengths. Then cut 4 lengths of 3' and 4 lengths of 2'. There will be some extra but I always find a use. From here it is pretty simple. Just lay 2 5' sections on the floor and attach the T fittings by the middle outlet and basicly put it together. the T fitting with the smaller end will slide into the proper T fitting. However when sliding the pipe into the wonky T fitting it is a little loose and I just used a little tape to keep it in place. Once the framework is together, take 2 emergency blankets from walmart or mylar on a roll if you got it and wrap the outside of the frame using clear tape to hold it up. Once that is done I took some 4 mm black plastic from walmart again and rewrap the structure holding in place with plastic. A little disguise work latter and it is done. total cost was less than $30 and can be taken down in a few moments since none of the connections were glued
