Todo: Replace foil with Mylar, Add 250W CFL to roof , Add 12 CM fan to roof (exhaust will go through a couple of corners and cat litter to lower smell and light leaks), Double Current CFLs

Planning to grow some Auto Hindu Kush In there, along with some other various herbs and spices (i.e, sage, rosemary and such)

Some Pics:

As it is, the inside is about 16" Tall

I'll be using Auto Hindu Kush, which is approx 12-18", but with LST i cant foresee any issues with room- total heat will be approx 90w until a second light (and thus, fan) is added :thumbsup:

although, it stands up plenty stable, so if i was for any reason desperate for space, it wouldn't be a problem

Ended up using this box for seedlings, full of legal herbs atm, But i expect it'll become a clone box eventually

How do you put a top on the box to keep out the light during the dark period?
