Moma box Please help everybody

I need to make a moma box for 2, maybe 3 indica's for cuttings and I would like to keep it pretty small. It's going to be in an unheated shack. What size do I need, What power of light will I need-100,250, etc. Would hetal halide be the best, I would love to try that light that has both HPS and MH but the total output I'm sure would be way too much. Would the heat from the light be enough to keep it warm inside the unheated shack, if not what do you think about using a small propane heater to help (since it will also give of some co2). Cancer got a hold of my granny and I intend to help. I don't have much money and I am definately not a carpenter so I hope you can give me advice for a woodworker idiot. Also I won't be using it in the summer time if that helps at all. I really would appreciate everybody's help with this.
I really truly thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Hope you all have
a great day,
Madja

P.S. If anyone can give me an approximate price on how much it will cost
(the wood and stuff) that would be great too. If no one know thats fine
Thanks again:-)

Hey brother, (smoke me smoke me), how about you do some searches and
I will to so two heades are better than one otherwise some people will reply
and help us. Take care my friend Peace to you too,

Holy math quiz bat man.
Alot depends on the space you have and many other variables.

Foam insulation is easy to cut and cheap for walls. white paint is cheap for reflection (get dull), bigger the better if you ask me.

Would using foam insulation be safe (not burn) if using a metal halide light.
And I will try to keep my moma's pretty small. Thanks, Madja

You can build ur on box if you would like but follow this style cause its pretty good:thumbsup: Oh and I'm pretty sure that if you do get the MH/HPS the temp will heat up the grow space pretty good maybe even a little too much but you might need something when the light is off

expose foam to direct light.It will cause the foam to start decomposing releasing florocarbon i don't think this would be good for plant life.Why do you think it's no good to throw out styrofoam take out container's they want you to recycle for that reason:twocents:

do you have your gramma's permission

A 2x2x2ft. square box with flourescent lights works well for me for starting plants and growing mothers. I have 3 lights on top and one on each side and one on the back with the front opening on hinges for access. Raise the plants to within an inch or two of the lights as flouros don't have good light penetration and you won't burn them. Interior painted flat white as Sparrow suggested.
Total price under $200
Likely no insulation required as the lights produce enough heat.You will have to drill some holes to let some heat out. Might need to put in an electric heating pad to keep up the temp during the dark cycle on a different timer than the lights. Do some checking on temps before you grow. Metal halide and propane is overkill, expensive, dangerous and complicated for something this small
Happy growing

I havent been a member for very long, but everyone is so helpful and polite.
I think if the people that make up this country were as helpful and nice as
all the people in these forums, it would be a much better place. Thanks
friends,
Madja:) :)

Thanks for your info. what kind of flouro, wattage, cool/warm,etc. Thanks
for you help. Take Care,
Madja:D

Use the highest wattage bulbs you can find for the size of florous that you are using.
As for type, I tried gro lights but they cost twice as much and didn't last long so I went with full spectrum lights. It made sense to me to do so but a combo of warm and cool works fine as well. You can find all sorts of opinions on light types for vegging and flowering etc. but the fact is that it all works so don't sweat it
