Hey RIU, I'm currently unable to grow at my location now. In a few months I'm moving to another town. I'll be able to continue what I love. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas on how to setup a box big enough, yet quiet enough to run at least 8 plants going 12/12 from seed. My last grow was in a cabinet and a rubbermaid. I've never built a custom box and don't really know the logistics and shit. I'm wanting to pull 2oz from each every two months or so, shouldn't be too diffucult I don't imagine. All help will be rep. Thanks all you 'heads. Peace

Really? Noone? I was thinking of having an 800watt HPS but don't know anything about them or how to keep good ventilation for one? Any takers/tokers?

Here's my box for 8 plants. 4 plants for each generation. I'm doing autos though. The dimensions are 36"x20"x60". It's kind of hard to see but there is a fan up top that pulls the air through the light and pushes it through a carbon filter. I use a 400w hps and 184w of 2700k cfls (the bright spot right above the plants) the temps stay about 80 but can get up to 85 sometimes.
I built a frame out of 2x2's and then drilled 1/4" plywood to it.

I see alot of "professional" grow cabinets in magazines and such for hightimes and weedworld. They come in every size you can think of, and are already completely set up, all you gotta do is add plants. It takes all the guesswork out of indoor growing. google that shit up, it can easily be a very good investment.
 
those are always nice ^ If you have money. If not your better off finding yourself a used cabinet that fits your preferences. There pretty easy to find at used stores. If you check out my grow cab I found the cab at a church that was giving it away for free [STEAL]. If you build your own you have to worry about being ALOT more obvious looking. where as the ones that are made to look good you can put the vents in back and use weather stripping to block out light no problem.
