  You Will need:
  
  Three Rubbermaid bins
  Three higher velocity fans
  One lower velocity fan
  A sharp razor or knife
  Mylar, or flat white paint
  
  
  
  Step one: Place one Rubbermaid bin right side up take cover of and put to side
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step two: remove the cover of a second Rubbermaid bin and place face down over the first Rubbermaid bin
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step Three: Cut a hole in the bottom of the top box
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step Four: put last Rubbermaid right side up with cover on top cut hole in bottom of Rubbermaid bin first
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step Five: Cut a hole in the second bin up on the side for one high powered fan
  
  
  
  Step six: Cut directly opposite for the second high powered fan
  both will be pumping air in
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step Seven: Cut a hole on the side of the top box so that the third and final high powered fan will fit blowing air out
  
  
  
  Step eight: Cut a hole on the side of the bottom box so that the low powered fan will fit and blow on your plants nicely
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step nine: Affix hood and bulb so that it can hang from the cover of the top box
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Step ten: put mylar all over the inside, if Mylar is not an option use flat white paint
  
  
  Step Eleven: put them plants in there and let em grow
  
  
  
  To access the plants simply take the top bin off the top,
  to get all the way to the plants take the middle and top off
  
  
  Anyway here of some pics of it and its results

one 400 for 2 plants is a waster. you are going to have problems when your plants start to grow and are fighting for room. might need a gallon size on those rubbermaids, they look 12 gallon?

Probably not worth the hassel for less then oz at harvest.. just get a card and go to local dispensary.. product will be WAY better then what this can even hope to produce.

I also see a plastic fire in your future... You would be smarter and better off cleaning the shit off your garage floor and taking a corner and building a closet for growing out of wood, plywood etc.. I mean come on brother..

 

[growman3666]

It was just an idea brotherman... for small scale

 

[tip top toker]

For that amount of work could you just buy a plastic trash can as seen in trailer park boy

Nice handy work. But it seems to me it would much easier and cheaper just to buy a small tent...you get an A for effort though

 

[jesus of Cannabis]

A for effort and +rep DIY style

 

[Saldaw]

very good idea to keep temps down in a small space without a cooltube +rep for that
maybe a scrog net would up your yields alot, have you thought of that?

 

[growman3666]

i was thinking of doing a scrog yes

Bump.........................

good job..... kinda silly though. someone did this years ago with cfls and 1 plant, that would make more sense for the space. put your 400w in a 3x3space and put 4 plants under it top them and grow some happy healthy plants. 4x4 space would be best then you could keep the plants in a 3x3 area and the light will have room to go past the plants hit the walls and bounce back too crowded in those rubber maids weed needs room

Agreed but it works
