Hello all, been reading for awhile and decided to make an account because I think I am ready to start my first grow. I have never grown anything before but I think I am ready to try. My grow will be hidden in a spare closet so I am trying to find the best setup for me. I would love to build my own setup but due to chronic back pain from a spinal injury it is just not possible.

I have been looking on Ebay and a couple retail sites trying to find a good setup but retail is a bit above my max price range. Has anyone used systems like these? http://www.ebay.com/...=item3383cfbd0f

or

http://www.ebay.com/...=item20d548c709

I would really like to use leds vs. cfl for heat reasons and can't wait to learn hydro which is why I was kind of leaning towards the second one but I have no experience or knowledge of if these setups actually work. Does anybody have ideas or maybe have one or something similar? Thanks in advance for any helpbongsmilie

It's a simple idea, it would work. However that's not much room. The second one has the exhaust fan at the bottom, heat rises so don't do that one.

Take a look at the last link in my sig, its basically the same thing.

Give you some good ideas.

Wow, your box is exactly what I am looking for. I wish I was able to build something like that if you don't mind how much did it cost you know supplies and all, I want to see how far off those sellers are? You really have me wanting to get one to get started. Thank you and you have skills my friend.:joint::weed:
