ok, its a 1 gallon jug, in the top i poked 2 holes, 1 for the feed line, and 1 for the vent line. in the feed line i have a small shut off valve to control the flow. when you use it the first time, you have to blow in the vent line with the valve open to get the flow going. as long as you dont run it dry, you can change jugs without "priming" it again. once you get the flow going, you just use the on/off valve to control the flow and how much you want to water your plant. works great, just dont forget about it. it will empty in about 10 mins or less, LoL.

My whole setup started out as a planter under a lamp on my dresser...and eventauly evolved into a closet grow... I dont have the foil anymore. i ditched it cause the walls are all white. Also the messed up looking plant in the pics is long gone too.

Im using 1/8" thick archival foam board from work for the box, and everything is ATG taped (double sided tape pretty much) to the walls to hold in place.

Lights are suspended by 60lbs wire. The lights are lamps that i took apart.

The two sockets that are hanging from the wire have splitters in them running 2 bulbs a piece. I have 1 lamp that is still a lamp that has my 1 2700K bulb in it.

I also have a ghetto ass 8 or 10" fan in there...

All this is hooked up to a power strip i have nailed to the wall, and plugged into a timer

The last picture is my new plant.

True, true. I may just wait until my second grow. Right now, this being my first attempt at this... yeah. I'm still making alot of (stupid) mistakes. Like thinking one 15 watt fluorescent tube would be enough to grow under, and the cheapest bag of potting soil I could find would cut it. hahaha. Ah well. Gotta start somewhere, right?
