How to Create a 400 Watt HID Rubbermaid Grow
by gman





You Will need:

Three Rubbermaid bins
Three higher velocity fans
One lower velocity fan
A sharp razor or knife
Mylar, or flat white paint



Step one: Place one Rubbermaid bin right side up take cover of and put to side








Step two: remove the cover of a second Rubbermaid bin and place face down over the first Rubbermaid bin








Step Three: Cut a hole in the bottom of the top box









Step Four: put last Rubbermaid right side up with cover on top cut hole in bottom of Rubbermaid bin first









Step Five: Cut a hole in the second bin up on the side for one high powered fan



Step six: Cut directly opposite for the second high powered fan
both will be pumping air in










Step Seven: Cut a hole on the side of the top box so that the third and final high powered fan will fit blowing air out



Step eight: Cut a hole on the side of the bottom box so that the low powered fan will fit and blow on your plants nicely











Step nine: Affix hood and bulb so that it can hang from the cover of the top box










Step ten: put mylar all over the inside, if Mylar is not an option use flat white paint


Step Eleven: put them plants in there and let em grow



To access the plants simply take the top bin off the top,
to get all the way to the plants take the middle and top off


Anyway here of some pics of it and its results

Mine is two of those, with 2x150w hps, 2 26w daylight CFl on two plants with a DWC system. Cool set up though. Your plants are looking good and not stretching like I thought they would. I have a DIY cool tube so my light can move around and sits about 6 inches away from it. Great job though and good tutorial.

Very interesting..What sort of minimum fan 'power' are we talkin about? I've recently been offered use of a 400w, but have to turn it down as I've no cabinet or something of that sort to use. This inspires me to rethink the offer lol

I'm definitely considering this, I've got to wonder how the plastic likes being warm like that, but then one should trust what he sees, otherwise end up insane and questioning everything lol

Anyway, thanks for the great thread! +REP+REP+REP!
