This is basically my first growbox me and my friend are setting up and its a Rubbermaid setup. Just wanted to show some of the progress.



Now I was basically wondering... whats the next step? I know I need to get light fixtures for the sides, but do I just bolt them in?

Also, I need some help on how to wire it all together. Any help?

Thanks

Ok... I take it you want to grow your plants in the box? covered? What are the measurements for the rubbermaid bin? You will not get much acheived in such a small space .. well not much bud at least. I recommend just a couple of 125 watt cfls if you plan on only growing in the bin.

Ya man i Did a rubbermaid setup it worked well but u need to make sure u top and LST your plants cuz i didnt and it got too Big! lol get some vents in there and make sure to wire it properly or your going to light your house on fire

but to answer your question either just Screw/glue a set of lights to the top and if u get High Watt CFL Lights like any over 50W, get like at least 4-6 in there and u should be ok on lighting

Hey man good to see your making your own grow box

1st hint is to scrap the tinfoil and paint the inside in flat white paint to get better reflection of light and no heat hot spots

check out my thread if you want some inspiration for what you can grow in a small box

Im currently @ day 45 flowering

Just remember to get as many 6500K cfls lights as you can in there for veg and switch them over for 2600k ones for flowering

also id reccomend u top your plant a few times and bush it up

remember its going to grow @ least double its height when you turn the flower cycle on so be carefull if your cramped for space, i had a few issues with my crown growing so tall I had to tie it down

I second what wangman says. =)

Lose the foil, paint it flat white, and fill the top of it up with about 200 watts of CFL's, (NOT the equivalent to the incandescent, actual 200 watts)
