okay this idea came to me stoned so bare with me haha , the lights i have and fixture resemble the size and shape of the paper rolled up in the middlw the white bars would be a screen keep the plants away from the bulbs and maybe down the line train to grow against a vertical scrog lol the pots that are in there now are 3 in and four fit in there fine the space where the plants are is 5.5"l X 7.5"w of course you would have to rotate the plants for even growth but after some training it wouldnt have to be done , i could even mount a smaller bulb on each side for top lighting, the exhaust fan would be at the top pulling air thru passive vents around the bottom to draw air thru the large lights and create airflow

so what yall think hell im gonna do it as an experiment any way haha

Basic idea sounds about right.
Fitting fans on the inside top is gonna make it tough to hang the light and will take a couple of inches off the overall height.
Those pots look a bit small too. I think you'll need at leat 1 litre of soil per plant.

haha yeah they are small their only 3 inchers i have a ton of pots all different sizes but ill start in the lil ones and then ill bump up the sizes with the plants i was thinking ill go to 20, oz coke bottles with the top cut off and drain holes so i could fit em in better,

and the mount for the lights is gonna be on bottom running up to the middle of the box i think thatll be easier way the fan im gonna use is the one in my grow room its pretty powerful and itll be vented out the top haha

yeah i ve been pretty busy had a death in the family so had to deal with that stuff all week so ill get on finishing the box and get yall some pics and what not

okay i cut em down the other nite so i can now turn my attention to the pc again i found a fan at a flea market paid 4bucks it s prolly 5"x5" or 6"x6" it puts out pretty good and i mounted the whole hood and lights verticle from the othe grow more than like ly this wont stay this way the box reads bout 79 to 80 lights on and 77 off and the exhuast is bout 100 degree air haha so the fan does the job, i ave a lil seeding goin already its starting its 3 leaf stage already im thinking bout doing a small hempy style in a 2 liter bottle i think itll work out great
