If I could somehow make my tanning bed, not so hot inside, it sure would be a sweet place to grow. Also I was thinking about making a growbox, where the entire inside of the box is being lighted, similar to a tanning bed. But If I could somehow just make my tanning bed in the 80's and grow my plants lengthwise threw the tanning both, would be mucho beuno :mrgreen:

Hmm
I wonder what kind of light spectrum the bulbs in a tanning bed have..
I googled and seems like you can get full specrtrum bulbs for these tanning beds.

I am not sure about the light from the bottom though.

can you cut a hole in both ends of the tanning box and put exhaust fans blowing air in and out?

if you use your tanning bed to grow, you gotta post pictures ;)

lol

i think the ends are open. my wife uses them and she says they have a fan up by her head. you could undo the hinges and put the top on chains to the ceiling. or something to that effect. or standit up. they use to have stand up tanning rooms. i don't think this is such a bad idea.

Nah I wasnt high when I thought of this, id been drinking, but I quit smoking, until my plants are done, been a long time since iv smoked : (. But yeh I plan on standing it vertical, and it has a fan on it, goign to need to put a exhaust fan however. I think it may work however. May need to install bigger fans however, It gets somewhat hot, not to bad though actually. But yeh going to start working on this project. Its about 9ft, maybe 8ft, so I could grow a pretty nice plant, its a wide one as well, so for one plant, it would be amazing. I need more ideas on this though, I know there has to be some cons of this, I just cant seem to think of any : )
