Well, a good rubbermaid grow box has usually has a few things about it. It needs ventilation, light, reflectivity, and most importantly stealth. I just built one too and found a way to put it somewhere where I can still get to it, but its very much covered up. The only holes are for ventilation. And fortunately for you, I read that lowryder #1 has a considerably lower smell than Lowryder #2. And usually smell isn't too big of a problem until late vegetation. Hope that helps.
