Hello everyone!
Long time reader, first time poster here at rollitup.org. Anyways, I have an idea for a grow box setup. I have an old dresser that is not being used. I would like to make it air tight with some aquarium silicone. Then, I will cut off the droor parts of the front, and just keep the faces of the droors. I will then put these all together using screws, and silicone them as well. I will then use weatherproofing strips around the entire thing, and attach the droor fronts as a door with hinges on the dresser. To the untrained eye it will look like a regular dresser, however, it will open like a door, and inside will be my grow box! Since it will be like a refridgerator here, I will cut holes in the back to allow for fans and proper ventialtion.
I will then line the entire inside with reflective wallpaper. I will then screw in wooden notches on both sides about an inch apart the entire way down both sides. This will be where I slide my shelving into. I can put a fluorescent light at the top, and move the shelf down as my plants get bigger. I was thinking to add more lumens, I could put more fluorescent lights on the walls. (can't spend the money for the HID) I will keep my hydroponics tub under the shelf, as I don't see my plants getting over 2-3 feet tall.
I need ideas or any preforseen obstacles.
Thanks,
Xero

My grow should be complete with curing before the 4th of July and then I plan on buying some good stuff and use what I learned to improve this time around.
