Check out my space tote!

Hi, I'm fairly new to the site. I have recently been building a space tote to grow a couple plants in. I used two 102L heavy duty totes. Spray painted the insides white and lined the siding of the bottom and top tote with LED strips for side lighting. I am using a 300W LED as my main light. I decided to go with AC Infinity fans. I am using two 80mm fans as my intake and a double stacked 80mm exhaust fan all connected to the AC Infinity controller which works really well. There are also 2 80mm computer fans inside circulating the air. Im also using an old iPhone as a camera to view the plants from my current phone which is nice to have.

My grow is on day 16. I have 1 Nuken, 2 Hawiians and a mystery autoflower on the go. I will be making a second tote so I can move 2 to the other box. I had some major issues with a couple plants. Found out it was because they had nutrient burn and were root bound. So I transplanted them into a bigger pot. A good friend of mine is a professional grower and gave me some urgent soil advice and demanded I switch to ProMix HP with added perlite right away. And to do complete flushes on them. So I did. That was Friday and they're just coming out of shock and have seen new growth and they're looking alot happier now. I still have a few minor things to work on like light leaks from the fans and the gap between the totes will be getting a type of foam to help make a better seal. Pictures below, don't judge too harshly, it's a work in progress

Looks like an alien spaceship that abducted your plants. Pretty cool! Smell will be an issue in flower. If youre going for stealth, that'll be a problem but otherwise it looks to be doing the job!

Thanks! It definitely has that, "take me to your leader" vibe to it. Stealth isn't really an issue for me. However, it would be nice to combat the smell a bit, so I am in the midst of developing a sort of carbon filtration system that attaches to it. It's all a work in progress and way too much fun.
