Round 3 I bought two y-splitters, two bulb-to-outlet adapters, CFL bulbs, PVC pipe pieces, aqua globe pack, digital surge protector with built-in timer, and a roll of foil tape. I dremeled a hole for a PVC drain, which will connect to both growing trays. I also hot-glued the y-splitters and...

I feel like a fool now. I thought I was going for convenience buying the 1.5A so I could hook up all my devices to one cord, but I should totally have thrifted a couple 12v chargers instead. Still haven't wired it up, so should I see if it'll work fine like this? So the 12v charger itself...

I scavenged the the fans from appliances around the house, so I'm not sure about their individual mA. Is there a way to check this?

I definitely agree. I'll pick up 4 bulbs at the home depot tomorrow, and I can pick up the flowering bulbs a little later. I don't know how I want to position them, any ideas? I was just going to run light bulb adapters through extension cords, better suggestions...

Instead of messing with bags by the fans I was thinking of just adding cups of activated carbon right by the plants. Can I just add it into the soil?

If you're set on doing a closet grow it would be helpful to check out your local thrift store. They always seem to have some heavy furniture pieces around.

Alrighty, so round two of the mini-fridge epic. After thinking about the complexities of it I removed the fridge's motherboard and power cord. So to run my fans now I have a 1.5A/12v dc cord. I'm running my wires in parallel, which blows. I couldn't sleep last night so I just stayed up working...

What if it was 50-ishF during the day too?

I am in the process of building a small grow space that should be pretty low maintenance. With that would it be helpful to put in an earthworm or two and some lady bugs?

If you can handle the increased heat from the 400w, why not buy it?

It seems to me that everyone tries to keep their MJ around 75F... Are there consequences to growing your weed in the lower end of 50 degrees?

I don't photoshop very well. I remembered today that I got a really crappy laptop cooler for $10, anywho I figured since I'll be needing fans to go ahead and pop those out. I did; albeit with some problems. I'm sure some superglue can put the missing blades back with the body... The end...

What about stacking two exhaust fans on top of each other? The 76mm exhaust is in a hard to reach place, I was thinking that if I just slapped another fan on top of it things would be a-okay? The red line indicates where I would stick a bigger fan like an 88mm or a 120mm. Since the 76mm is...

What is the ideal ratio of intake to exhaust fans? For my micro grow-box, currently I plan on two 88mm intakes and a 76mm exhaust. since I'm going to be cutting into my mini-fridge I thought I might as well make the most of it and put as many fans as possible. Also, the exhaust fan is inside...

Okay, I have pictures! Picture 1: Fridge (16.5"; 14.25"; 12.25") Picture 2: Cut out interior plastic shelving on door Picture 3: Used box-cutter to open a small hole in corner --I need a dremel to finish cutting holes Picture 4: Exposed circuit board; taped wires went to cooling element Picture...
