my stelth grow box need help

just a three light set up i got from lowes they dont have any bulbs in them yet

here are the holes i cut out

Ok I've been thinking.... strip out all the tinfoil and install the 2 CPU fan's, a good idea is to wire the 2 fans together, and mount them inside the cab...By mounting them inside will allow you to add flanges to the outside.. then if you need to pull air in from a different location, or exhaust to another room, you can - by adding ducting , (hide the wires out-side of the cab), this will give optimum performance and air exchange.. then completely cover the inside with Undercoat + Matt White paint (nice and cheap), (great reflective qualities).. Next you need to get a basic Aluminium reflector, you may need to cut it down to size to fit in your cab.. then choose either a 125w, 150w (if you can find it), or 250w Envirolite CFL, You'll need a 6500k Blue Spec CFL for VEG. and a 2700k Red Spec CFL for FLOWERING.. then lastly we'll sort out a nice cheap but effective DWC 1-pot Hydro system and mini SCROG screen... and thats pretty much all there is to it - STELTHY

ok i ave some thin sheet aluminum could i cut out a piece of that and just bend it and i took the power supply out of a old computer i had and bridged two wires on it to make it work and the plants im getting are autoflowering and what is a scrog screen ive read a little about it on your cab thread but im still confused

i planed on putting light traps inside the box in front of my fans so the light wont get in or out and mess up my light schedule and so people dont see a beam of ight coming out he back of my box and get curious

If you buy a cheap reflector I'll post pics in a min, and the CFL/s that you want to use... I'd scrap the 3 small sockets at the top as you'll be using a far more suited larger CFL, and you'll need to be able to adjust its height throughout the grow.. A 500ma ajustable Transformer plug, or a hacked mobile phone charger plug will power your CPU fans.. If your doing auto's you could get by with just a red spec (2700k) CFL, a SCROG is a wire frame divided into small squares, the idea is to train/bend the plants branches under it whilst its growing, this will allow the plant to grow bigger but also at a lower level than nature intended, so when the buds appear they are all pretty much level and not taking all the height space of the cab up, this means better light coverage, which means bigger buds and more of them ....always good !!! - STELTHY

Ultimately on your out-take your going to need a small Carbon Filter approx £20.00 off E-Bay! the Carbon filter will stop the light-leak problem at the top..as well as not letting out pungent smells, that will be noticible during the grow, and your intake can be covered with an angled vent cover, that redirects the light, a simple color-code bit of rag can hide this, and no-one will see it cos it will be at the back! - STELTHY

ok cool how would i wire up the cell charger to my fans? sorry for all the questions i am just dumfounded by all this stuff and just wanna do everything right

Get a phone charger, cut off the end you plug into your phone, you'll have 2 wires one black one red or a black one and a black and white one (white = red) then join the to fans together BLACK to BLACK and RED to RED, disregard the yellow (remote wire) this can be removed on both fans! and then connect the fans 2 RED WIRES to the phone chargers RED wire, and the fans 2 BLACK WIRES to the phone chargers BLACK WIRE, tape the connections with electrical tape (do this well and make sure in no way can the 2 terminals touch, ie/ dont let red touch black) the plug it in a turn the power on... the fans should both spin...if they dont just reverse the connections on the charger and you should have the correct polarity.. then figure out which way the fan sucks/blows and make a note of it...then install them to the holes in the cab.. (inside, after Matt White paint), and have the wires run down the out-side at the back of the cab, and duct-tape inplace... Job-Done - STELTHY

here is the link to the light and reflector i was thinking about getting is this what you were talking about
http://www.enviro-gro-lites.co.uk/125w2700K+SLR-PG.asp

I can't see the LINK ? - STELTHY

x 125w Plug & Grow Lamp
- 2700K Red Spectrum for Flowering
1 x Single Lamp Reflector
- 2nd Generation

Need some extra lighting ? As either a main light source or as supplementary lighting this combination will do the trick.
Go back to the Category page to find a 125w 6400K White/Blue Spectrum + Reflector Bundle
Supplied with the larger 2nd Generation Reflector with 30% more reflective surface.
This is a good quality, heavy duty and well engineered reflector with louver vents that can be used with CFL and HID/HPS Lamps. It is particularly suitable for CFLs as it has a steel back plate which keeps the heavier self ballasted lamps horizontal rather than sagging as they do with cheaper, inferior reflectors.
It is supplied with a 3 Metre lead with a moulded standard 13amp plug for use with CFL's.
The reflector is 50cm x 40cm and made from Aluminium with a 'Highly Reflective Mirror Finish'.
Don't accept inferior quality for the sake of a couple of quid saving.

Yep! you should get that one, the reflective metal in the reflector is way better than having a mirrored finish like the 1st one/s you posted.. and the CFL comes with it .. Bonus! this will work nicely in your cab! - STELTHY
