Ok so I went out and picked up a few things today, I spent almost 60$ total on all of the supplies I am about to show you, and I expect to spend another 20 before finishing because I haven't picked up my fans (or a carbon filter) yet. Anyway let me know if you think this will work to grow one successful plant
The box I decided to go with - A styrofoam cooler, air tight, spacious, easy to work with, inexpensive, and already white!
Box interior, 2 sets of 2 soft white CFL's, 1600 lumens/23 watts (=100 watt incandescent)
The cover to the box - that is a 3300 lumen soft white CFL @ 55 watts (= 150 watt incandescent). I plan to have this mounted in such a way that I can adjust the height of it to sit just over the plant at all time. (And when the plant is too high, I have an extra cooler, and will set one bottom piece inverted on top of the other and remount my dome light)
The red squares are where I intend to install my fans. Later on, when I need it I want to install a carbon filter on my exhaust fan.
The black circles are where those light fixtures are going to be mounted horizontally, I think all of the lights together will give an even and adequate light distribution for my plant.
92mm Fan I intend you install
Please share all your thoughts and concerns
I am aware that I do not have any form of watering system set up, but I think I can manage watering one plant regurly by hand haha
