i need to make a grow room tommorow with a friend that is leaving the country i had bought a super small cab i can't handle it i need to know something i can make 4'x2' any ideas i need to know all the supplies i will need to buy inable to grow the plant many thanks i know i have been bothering it up around here and i am sorry
 
The best suggestion i have for you man is to go to google type in small grow rooms or closets or (cabinets) in your case i would suggest finding some old computers and ripping out the 12v fan and trying to scroung up a few of those hook them to a converter you can buy at walmart and there are your fans nice and quiet...ummm your going to want CFL's or it will get too hot Blue light spectrum for veg red 2700k for flowering... im guessing you already have your soil picked out make sure the inside is painted white or i suggest getting a heat blanket and glueing it to the inside of your cab and remember the bigger your pot the bigger your plant.

Making the actual grow box is the first concern. A few boards, some plywood and some nails should get you started. And just make it up to your dimension, box like. Your going to need two fans (computer fans work well for smaller grows), one in the bottom to suck in air, then one in the top to vent air out. Air circulation is key. For your size, I would recommend cfls (compact fluorescent light bulbs) for lighting. It will depend on the amount of of plants that you want and dimensions before I could tell you wattage. Also an oscillating fan would not hurt either. A temperature and humidity gauge is helpful as well. The inside of the grow box should have some reflective material on the inside walls to reflect light, not tinfoil, white paint works very well, as well as Mylar. That should give you a good start. I recommend checking out some of grow journals or "cfl grows" here on rollitup. There is A lot of useful information that you can read and see from people that have already done what you want to. Hope that helps, Happy toking :bigjoint:

I make my rooms/tents out of 1" pvc pipe and black 6mm plastic (comes in a roll at home depot).. Other than that all you need is the pvc corner pieces to connect and form a cube. For the door to the tent all I do is use some velcro (also from home depot. im sure many other places too)... It does a good job for me. I have no light leaks and the whole tent only cost me about $30 give or take.
