I like the idea a lot, but I think the dimensions should be changed, and if possible more/movable lights. This is the first I've seen of those tub's used with hydro in that sort of configuration. I've thought of something like this, but also did not know what to use for the "lid" as I would want to have more height to it. Good-job though.

Idea hit me with last grow... i'm sure others have tried it..it seems like it would make a great MicroBox.. Will be using it for clones once a mother is established

C- Was going to go bigger on tote boxes but decided to just go small and simple...lights were on chain in last box but i put this one together rather quick and sloppy and didn't bother this time around..I figure as they mature and stretch for light they will be fine...more lights going in later on.. but eyy thought it was worth a try...oh and if height is a issue...LST works wonders

MG- By all means bro do as you like lol.. have yet to see anyone else do one but im sure they are out there.. Will be posting a DIY instructional for this box...really simple but some might need info..just remember have fun with it :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting guys :jointsmile:
