good ideas....thx for help , and no, # of plants doesnt matter...any suggestions w/ the SOG?....and yeah ur right about 2-3gal pots lol, as for ventilation i was gonna put a couple holes in the box and i have a 12" fan that would b blowing on them. im still not positive of what it will b made of....but i will consider what ur talkina bout. btw for a SOG in there....how many plants could really fit?

as for light fixture...im pretty sure i can buy those things that divide into 4 instead of tearing apart a fan lol...btw....a trashcan grow is stealth as hell, gj lol. any ways peace out.

thx for help guys
