So I want to build a box in my basement to grow plants in. The problem is I have very little experience doing anything like this.
I dont need this to be real stealthy, just lightproof and sturdy. It just needs to house a 400w light and 4 plants. Really a 3'Lx3'Wx3'H box made out of plywood with a door would be just fine.

Im planning on just buying a bunch of 2x4s and nailing them together as a frame then nailing the playwood on top of that.

I would love some input on the following questions:

1. What kind of wood should i get? If i just get a bunch of 2x4s and plywood will that be ok?
2. Any good plans out there that are really basic? Ive seen pharmacans thread and that cabinet is awesome, but a little more complicated than i think i can do.


I would love any help i can get im really new to this.
