I just got a 5' chest freezer given to me. Girl was about to dump in the metal recycling & anyways, I saw it & the church music went off in my head! 
I was think of putting 6-4' t-12 lights on the lid & 4 tubes on the front & back. Giving me a total of 14-4' t-12 floro tubes (shop lights for easier wording) inside the freezer. I have tried all kinds of lights over the years. I have 400 watt hps set up but I think that would produce way too much heat in the freezer. I also have 2 150 watt HPS fixtures I could put in it too, but once again, I am guessing the heat will be an issue. I have 6' fan with charcoal filter to install in it. I have (my first couple) used the floro tubes in the past with good success. I figure I will have enough room for 3 plants that can get to a max of say 24" high inside the box with floro tubes. I only grow for me so the quantity is fine for me. Wonder, has anyone else used a chest freezer as a stealth grow box? for some reason I cant press enter??
