Is it cheating if you cut a hole in the top for a heatsink/fan to protrude from? 'cuz you'd have a lot more light and space for plants with less heat if you had a few Vero 10's ups there.

edit: I guess not since you have the base of your CFLs protruding from the top.

Nice setup man. im not sure if i'll get a bigger space or just stick with this for flower. I have a rubbermade box that I might tilt sideways. sticka few fans in. maybe a cheap led. like those ufos look pretty cool. I would like your post but I cant find the button.

im sure if its cheating or not, but its fun as hell
 
Say what!?!!? A shoebox grow!?! Makes the bigass computer tower I just got seem like a palatial estate by comparison! I'm interested to see how this pans out.

-Replace those bulbs with 65w CFL's to maximize your Lumen output. They are available at Lowes or Home Depot. Concentrate your lighting onto the plants, and make sure you have reflective walls. Lighting is THE MOST important element for a thriving indoor garden.
