Im thinkin bout takin some sheet metal, curving it into a cone, and riviting together. Those clip-on reflectors lose alot off light. Imma check Menards and see what I find. Im sure i could make somethin

Im startinto think so. Imma do a reflector, like the one in this cab. See if it helps dispurse more light. Or maybe ill switch the clip on for that one..

i kinda feel like the reflector is reflecting the light back to the bulb..and you know cfl light doesn't spread as far. i think the growth was better before i started using reflectors. i also think hangin them over the plants vertically works better for me

ok so i wanna just do a lil something, now this is the most cost effective thing I have seen so far, now could I do one box this size for veg, and another box same size for flowering, just set them up with the right lights and what not? and I swear I looked all over hell and back and cannot find a similar size box, they are all like 24in tall and maybe 12in deep if Im lucky. Maybe a brand name to go off of or something, and back to the veg/flowering, what lights would you suggest, I know someone who has a big grow room who I can get clones from to start with those, sorry to post on your thread but I am new here and I like what ya got. Thanks

Good job on the cabinet, i made mine out of the same one from walmart. did you cut any holes in yours? i use a dremmil tool and it cuts pretty easy, loud but easy. I tried painting mine but it didn't work out, i went with car windshield reflectors and aluminum tape to light proof it.

How are temps?

Thx dude, thr maker is Sterilite. Wal-mart also has a 72". So the limits are endless. Im just vegging, so im only need CFL. U could do LED, Floros, HO flouros, or even a 150w hps. Just keep ur temps in check. No worries bout commenting, thats why I made this. Ask away....
