Hey everyone, this is my first post here and just though I'd say that I'm looking forward to my stay kiss-asslol.
Anyways, I am in the brainstorming phase of growing. First i'll start off by listing what I have:
-Large Tupperware container to serve as growing box (2ftx2ftx2ft, probably bigger)
-Medium sized fan about 6-7in. diameter
-Homemade CO2 generator (made with tubing from fish supplies - to follow)
A variety of fish supplies I stumbled upon in my attic including:
-Tubing (5mm diameter, very long)
-EverClear filter pouch
-EverClear phase 2 active carbon
Heres what I want to do, please tell me what is right/wrong:
-Make a carbon filter by taking the active carbon and putting it in the wool-like fiber EverClear filter pouch. Then I will attach this to a pipe about 2in. in diameter (fits perfectly) and attach to a hole in my grow box.
Question: Will I put the fan on the inside of the grow box, blowing air out to the filter - or should I have it suck out on the outside of the box.
-Next, I will take a homemade CO2 generator (thanks little youtube kid) and have it pump CO2 into my box. Sound good? Where should I place the CO2 output?
Now, I have a problem with lighting - What do I use? It's my first grow and I'm not looking for a huge yield. What is the best option for me? I do not want a big increase in energy consumption. Can i use those energy saver bulbs? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

EDIT: I knew I'd forget something, heres something else I plan on doing:
-Insulating the box with foam walls and then tin foil for light reflection
-Hotblanket under the growing medium
