hey, i am building a kinda stealth grow box out of a old deep freeze, for lighting i will have 10 42 watt cfls mounted horizontally on a 14 x 14 piece of plywood covered with mylar. For cooling i will have a 4 inch inline fan with a 4 inch carbon filter. Will be growing in Gatorade bottles with the top cut off, spray painted black, and using a homemade compost/some good soil. Will feed with fox farm nutes if needed. The inside of the freezer is already white.

I am growing 12/12 from clone, i have about 16 by 16 inches to work with if i dont remove that panel , so i can fit in 20 clones easy.
Couple pics of the freezer, i need to get light sockets, the fan and filter combo, and clone my outdoor kush plants, Will keep you guys updated with pics as this build goes on.

The last few days i have been working on getting the small panel out the deepfreeze, where the freezing unit used to be, i have decided i am going to hardmount 14 42 watt cfls, around the freezer, 5 on each side one way, and 2 on each side the other, now that leaves a pretty big gap in the middle of the box, so im thinking of buying 150 watt hps security light to be mounted on the lid of the freezer, and i plan to have the box full of flowering clones, harvest like 3-4 every week, i am buying a 4 inch can fan, and a carbon filter, Should i buy a 6 inch? or will it stay cool enough. i will have a small pc fan for intake if needed, or a passive intake, Now is this overkill on lighting? thats 588 watts of cfl lighting, and then 150 hps, in a 28 inch tall, 25 in lenth, and 16 inches in width, ( i think) something like that, it is a medium sized deep freeze.
one more question, the inside is already a slightly glossy white, should i leave it? or cover it with mylar?
thanks
