nice ingenuity. very nice work. i like the self-made approach. what's the fun if you buy everything yourself. enjoy the journey right?

Hey, thanks Shake...:thumbsup:
Yes, i have and will use cardboard boxes....i had no problems so far, i think the box can't get that hot if you have a fan and good air exchange ....but the electrical wires have to be installed properly, and have to be checked regularly....
Yeah, i used 6 cfl's, passive intake on the side, fan on top of the box...
You can use a cardboard box for growing imo, just check it often if the fan is running nicely, and make sure it's not overheating....
