Looks good!

I haven't built much yet, just quickie things but I'm working on a better design. I thought about a two level box, a small grow box on the bottom and a flower box up top. T5's don't take up a lot of room, so might be possible.
Design is hard!

A lot easier to see problems after you build it.

Design by evolution.
Hey Tacman7,

Yeah, it was trial and error for me. In hind site, I think I over did the light by going with a 600w system.. In a box now, I'd opt for an LED or go with a cooled 400w system. T-5's seem to be the wrong dimension, and IMHO the other CFLs are just too weak. Hope the pics helped you out. I also have some of the frame if your interested..

Peace,

Farmer Rich
