I currently have a professional grow tent from htg supply and love it. However they dont make one small enough for the closet i am wanting to start cloning in. So i'm going to build a grow cabinet out of a steal shelf from lowes. I did this in the past when i 1st started growing so i know it will be easy and cheap. around 80 bucks, not including lights and fans of course.

However i was thinking of using styrofoam sheets for the walls, cause the last time i just ducked typed mylar to the poles to make walls and it was ghetto as hell. but worked amazingly well. I was thinking the styrofoam sheets would be better since it would be a bit more stable. I saw these styrofoam sheets at lowes and homedepot that i guess are used to insulate your garage door and think that those would work great for walls.

I'll be putting t5's in there so heat shouldnt be an issue and i can build a pretty awesome air scrubber out of a bathroom exhaust fan and thought that having styrofoam walls would make it easy as hell to make the intake and outtake holes.

going to pick up my supplies tomorrow.
