Well, I first saw the rubbermaid box on Bodom Children Of's thread. We created one for our grow and it has worked well. It is not even close to being perfect, but it works for our purposes.

We originally just planned to use it to sex our clones from mother plants and then toss the clones. It has turned out that we have decided to finish flowering the clones in the box.

We have no carbon scrubber (no real need at this moment). We have a simple fan for exhaust and 6 holes at bottom (3 on each side) for passive intake. 4 CFLs installed into the top container for light (could have more). We have recently added one more due to some plants showing lack of light on the bottom leaves/buds. We also lined the inside (very haphazardly) with mylar for reflection, and to prevent light from entering.

Hopefully, when these are fininshed, we will redo the box to be more light-proof, adjustable, etc. We will probably add more lights (CFLs) into the sides.

Rubbermaid boxes ROCK! :thumbsup:

Oh and one more thing. We have NEVER had a problem with heat. Temps stay around 78F steady. Beautious...ping!
