Karma we need to work on some things!! You got the right idea with the grow box but there are several issues to be considered be for you do ANY growing in there. I read that you got rid of the tin foil so that is the first step in the right direction. Tin foil tears easily and is prone to creating heat spots which burn your plants and distribute light unevenly. I heave heard of people still making due with foil by using the dull side but I would be very careful! Also, you might want to reconsider using spray paint around something you will be theoretically smoking later. Toxic chemicals such as spray paint are not good things to have in your grow area as the buds and leaves will absorb these minute particles right out of the air. Lastly, you need to get a different light if you are going to be growing plants. Plants and marijuana require a special light spectrum that is not properly emulated with a light such as the halogen(?) you've got there. Not only that but they emit so much heat it makes the use of them near impossible, especially with a small grow space such as yours. I see you are new here, thanks for joining good luck. Read the FAQ if you have some time there's a wealth of information there!
