High folks Ive got a project in mind and I was wondering if any seasoned growers out there could help a newbie out. I live in a apartment and I am ordering a aerogarden and I am thinking about trying a nice compact screen of green on it. My questions are? does any one have an idea how to make a mini grow cabinet for this with out a shop or the tools to make it. Im broke so I need something cheap.I would also like to know which kind of light setup to use in such a small space to get the right spectrum's for flowering keep in mind it has to be cheap preferably stuff I can pick up for bottom dollar at walmart or something. If I dont have the money or possibly the space in the cabinet for a filter system if I can set a ocilating tower style air purifier directly next to the grow will it keep the smell down enough not to notify the neighbors as to what Im up to. Any ideas for the grow box and where to source the parts from for cheap would be frigging awesome. I will be looking forward to youre replies.THANK YOU!

do you have any stuff lying around to make the box from? Stick it in a corner of the only have to make 2 sides and a roof.
I brought a sheet of 12mm mdf for £12 to make a box 1000x750x500mm ish
Cheap lighting i'd say would be cfl's

here's my simple setup:




bought the cabinet at Home Depot on sale for $29.95. i had to line the inside with white contact paper (it wasn't painted on the inside!). added a cheap lock for about $5 and drilled a hole in the corner for cords (i'll cover that up with white tape once i put in a fan & ionic breeze). hope this helps...

Cheap? Ok, Printer box or box larger than AG. Line with Mylar or shiny Chrismas wrap(in a pinch). Cut 4 inch hole in top. Buy 4 inch Metal fan at walmart(7$), rest in hole. Hang Box over table or dresser to exit the warm air. Done. Maybe not totally stealth, but you said cheap...Steve aka koolkat
