transparent pots very bad idea, the roots should not see light.
Decided the heat in the mini box was too much so I moved it down to the main grow ox. I put a board on top of screws screwed into the side panels. The board lays on them and the lights are attached to them. Its got a little space in the back so air can be sucked out through the top exit fan. Its doing well and ive seen INSANE improvement by doing this. It's got a fan blowing on it too.
P.s.

Pics-
Plants lookin good :D.
does anyone have any idea what these strains are? My friend bought these seeds from a guy and he said they were a collection of Orange Kush, White Rhino, and AK-47. I think Athena might be Kush and Rhonda may possibly be AK.
Nice setup! I like the compact size but I think you will need more than just interior circulation with an HPS. Maybe a hole in the top back with a fan sucking the heat out. Also in my experience tin foil can create hot spots and with an HPS possibly sporadic burns. I also agree with the clear container theory/fact/whatever you wanna call it. A 400W would definately be too hot for that small space....if you do get it however, do take off the tin foil please! Plants are looking good...I especially like Rhonda. Good luck my friend...keep us updated!
Thanks man! I appreciate your comment on Rhonda. WHats the strains of these ya think people?!
I have now added 3 more CFL's into the box! I have a total of 7 light fixtures each with a bulb of 60-100W in them. Theres roughly 600W of CFL POWER in that damn thing. And because of how open and big and breathable the box is, it doesnt get too hot in there ;) Pretty hella cool
