That's my forst growbox. I bought this cabinet in a local shop. In this hardware shop I bought the lamps, the wood for the lamps and the chains. I'm waiting for grow supplies that I've ordered like the nutes and the seed. This is a grow box for growing an Auto Ak 47 mixed in and outside.
Sorry for the pics quality..I don't find my camera..

What have you got set up for the intake/outtake?

Gonna use PC fans?

You've gotta have ventilation, especially with a Metal grow box. That temperature is gonna rise.

The Box is in Resin. For the ventilation I'm thinking...
What are the possibly options?

Pc fans will work the shit. You might want to get some mylar for the walls. How is the temp outside the box? you might want to get some more lights if you can. I can't wait to see what happens I want to grow some autoflowing plants for my next grow. stay with it man. Oh what are you doing soil?hydro? bubbler?

The temperature outside? i don't know exactly. But under the sun is 30°C. I think in the room where is the box there are 25°C. Becouse the weathere here is still good, as I said, I wanna grow outside, and grow inside for the first stage (becouse it's too hot for a newborn) and for adding some light hours in the following weeks. I'm doing with soil. But in one case I'll put the seed (after been cracked) in the soil, and another one I'll put (after cracked) in a 3cm Rockwool and then after one week in the soil. I'm keep trying.
I'll uptdate to you. The package with the seeds and the other equipment is arriving.
For the Pc fans: can I use instead an usb fan? like this?http://i24.ebayimg.com/07/i/001/02/2c/feeb_1.JPG

your not really going for stealth if your gonna be bringing them in and out. You just want to watch your heat in your room my box is on a 3 season porch so what everthe temp is it's 10 degrees hotter in my box. that fan looks godd for moving the air around but not for venting the air. just leave the door open if you don't have to worry

No..I don't wanna be stealth.. Leave the door open? how about some grid covered hole? The problem woth the Pc fan is the wire. How can I plug it into a normal home plug?

well your pc fan will probably be 12v so just use an ac adapter. Like i saidif your not worried then just leave one of the cabinet doors open for ventilation and then use your fan to blow on the plants. you should be all set.

-feels like a fool-

I didn't realize it was plastic!
What fans you going to put for ventilation?

Some PC fans would work fine, just check the forum for the wiring..

looks good man, id def. install another light outlet, another good idea is to use a Y adapter, you screw it in just like a light then, you can have 2 CFLs per outlet instead of 1, you can even add adapters to adapters, giving you 4 bulbs per outlet, that would probably be cutting into your grow area too much, good luck with it.
