What do you guys think as a medium?
Soil, coco , dwc??? Whatever it is it will definetly be going under a scrog net so i dont crush buds in door gaps.
Also notice the angled bottom from where the crisper usually sits. I cant cut it out as its where the motor and radiator sat and has no backing, would bleed light like a bitch, am going to drill holes through it as passive intake!)
I have two mephisto walter white to go in but want to get the best out of my limited area. (Also have 2x 24 carat and 2x sour bubblin crack)
All recommendation are very appreciated!

Hell ya. Can't really tell. Is that still a solid wall in the middle between fridge and freezer? If so, you might want to remove that if possible. It will double the grow area.

Makes me want to go finish mine up.

What light do you have in mind?

A fridge is a good idea but the down side is they are insulated a little to well. You will defo need some sort of good ventilation system. That's going to require some serious drilling. If you run say a standard invade cent light bulb it will be minutes before the temps hit 100 degrees nevermind a grow light. The other issue being so "tight" is humidity. There is no leakage and it will raise dramatically

This is true. I have removed motor from fridge, drilled around 30 holes in base of fridge where the motor was and reinstalled the motor covers on back and bottom of fridge as they have excellent vents to passively suck air into fridge when fan is on. Am moving 183m3 a min so i believe that any excess moisture shall be vented and temps should stay down enough to manage.
