well, its not a tub... but it IS a rubbermaid!
my baby mommas to be, in there veg cab.
note the 240v (yep, two hundred forty volts.. this baby both sucks and blows) intake and exhaust fans.
Lighting is 1 250w GE Horticulture CMH ($300 lamp! yikes!) centered, and 2 43w ConAgro cfls on the left and right sides. el cheapo magnetic ballast is not pictured, but its mounted to a board i have attatched to the outside of the cab.
On the top shelf, not pictured, is a 72 site wick cloner,(hydroponic mat?) uses jiffy pots/ generic equivilant, with humidome, propagation mat, and a 4600kHO "u" t5, and some 24v exhaust fans i have running off of temp sensors (they run a 10 min exhaust if temps rise above 75f... they havent kicked on yet and the cab has been in operation for about 4 days, 24/7 cycle (or lack of cycle, however you want to call it) im waiting for the baby mommas to go grow so i can start cloning. sorry about the shitty pic, my good cam is MIA for some strange reason.... (sneaky gf)

lookin good bro.
I built one of your cab's with a little modification. I didnt use the plastic elbows. I just mounted the fan to the container and cut a large opening on the opposite bottom.
Can you see a problems with doing it this way?
looks good, except it doesnt look light the lights are too light proof, and they arent really adjustable. Did you start your grow yet?
I just started mine, you should check it out

Agreed. You don't wanna punch 8 more sets of holes to lower the lights

I would just raise and lower your plants to the lights instead of lowering and raising lights to the plants. I use a rack or dvds or books etc...
Sometimes we are growing different strains were the stretch or growth is different.
