hey shift no need to go through the caulking nightmare this case doesnt have to hold water lol. you you just simply line it with cardboard and cut whatevere holes you need in it, its the easiest way i think. the carboard plus the reflective material liner you should be pretty light tight. you would also like your fans one being the intake at the height at which lines up with the top of your pot that you have your plant in so you can get a breeze running across those stems to strengthen them for some fatty bud support and especially a breeze under that canopy when your do your scrog to avoid mold issues. also the exhaust near the top somewhere probly about 3/4 to 5/8 the hieght of your case cuz that where your lights will spend most of their time eventually.

Off to a good start. I was looking around at work and being in the IT dept. I was thinking about one of our old server cases they are a little bigger. Do you think bigger is better or will I need more light than I could keep cool in that area?

a server case would work great because you wouldnt really have to worry about height depending on strain you choose, and if you LST or SCROG. i would have used a server case if i had the space but yah a server case would work great even with a 4 bulb setup like mine. as for heat issues it all really depends where you live because the temperature fluxuate so much here in canada but if your in california where its about 80-90 always you may need more fans i dont know a ideal setup; there abit of trial and error to be done.

Not Cali. Stuck in Ohio. We might hit the 90's for a few weeks in the middle of the summer but thats about it. I was thinking LST, what i've on it in small spaces looks real cool.
Thanks for the feed back.

just build a simple grow box.
inlet at the bottom and exhaust on the growbox roof.
dont make the box air tight just dont allow any light leaks during dark periods.

dont line the box with cardboard as it will cause exessive temperatures and dont seal it all with tape either(you want some venting/cooling qualitys).
if you want reflective properties i would just paint the inner walls of the case with flat white paint rather than line it with anything to keep the temps down in such a small place.
when its time for darkness just throw a towel/curtain over the case to stop any light leakage and you will still have venting during the dark period.
