I'm doing a "Rows of Green" approach, two plants running under a top of 7cfls. With a screen 6 inches high to help lst. Limits the pruning capabilities but allows for a small Co2 setup and pots on one side. I just sprayed a layer of black spray paint to absorb the light, then when that was dry added a layer of white over the top. Without the primer layer some light gets through the white layer as well as the rubbermaid itself. You can see the tub without the primer layer in some of the pictures attached.
Ninjaness may be more key for some more than others. Mylar is another option, but I've found sometimes there are too many grooves and lines in the rubbermaids body for Mylar. I decided to drill a hole into the side of mine for a fan blade. Basic 6 inch house fan taken apart at the shaft behind the blade was used. The blade then went into the box and the shaft through a previously drilled hole. 4 washers on either side of the rubber added a gap big enough to allow the blade to move inside the box. The motor was mounted with L brackets to the side of the tub. Ninjaness isn't super key for me, just space. On the opposite side of the tub is where my either 2 pots will go OR since they will be smaller i would have 4 equally spaced, depends on how many males i get out of these bagseed seedlings. Wired into the top of the box are 7 26watt CFLs that end up being 3 inches from the plants. Ive made a small yeast/sugar Co2 setup and have added it into the tub as well. .Under the fan blade I've cut 2 1/2 inch holes into the side of the sub at the bottom corner 1/3 and 2/3 of the way across the tub. This serves a dual purpose. It allows air into the tub, as well as letting the water drain out after being rinsed and cleaned. Sanitation is key in small spaces. The downside to having these "intake holes" at the bottom for easy cleaning is that the Co2 being heavier than the warm air will escape. The opposite side from the fan blade i cut a series of 3 one inch holes equally spaced into the top to allow for warm air to escape. with my thermometer on the side of the tub at the 6inch mark it hits 78°F. Just perfect 
. Lucky me. Since the seedlings are only 15 days old there's no screen inside yet but the plan is to use the best 2 or 4 females. Pictures of the tub to follow here is a picture of the best looking seedling in a party cup i took on my phone until i can get my camera's battery charger in the mail. Design schematics i made in paint are attached if anyone wanted to try something like this too. Any opinions on this "ROG" ?
