okay. i've completed (to what extent i can) the grow box i decided to make. the measurements are 27 1/4" x 20" x 17 1/2" (HxWxL).

i currently have the 24" "grow light" running across the top of the box where the hand holes are. i was thinking about putting fans in the hand holes. i don't know how exactly that would work. maybe i should run a duct to the bottom. i guess i'll have to play with it. any ideas?

i've used some of the styrofoam that came with my surround sound to get the pots close to the light. i can hold my hand on top of the plants with no problem. should i get the plants a little closer?

i don't have a thermometer/hydrometer at the moment. that and the fans will be the next step. along with some new lights. i was thinking of going with 4 CFL's maybe? sound like enough?

i'll also be adding a couple of latches and seals of some kind to keep the light in. i was also gonna add another small fan inside to help simulate wind and strengthen the stalks.

that's about all for now. i'm sure there's more i'm forgetting.

i welcome all suggestions. should i consider LST?

well time to forget some more! i have some pics but am not quite sure how to put them up. also do i or do i not have to have 50 posts first? i read that in one of the forums. thanks agian.
