some simple extra thick black and white sheeting from any good hydroponics store should sort it out.would invest in a better bulb try a 200w enviro lite should be alright in such a small space

The obvoius thing would be to buy some weatherstripping from a hardware store. I assume you have OTHER ways to ventilate it once you cover up those holes.

If you wanna do anything you need more light (among other things) or else you're wastin your $$$$$.

even if you put 2 cfls...that will only be enough for one or two plants...

and lets not even talk about how many you'd need for flower!

ducktape some cardboard stripes on the inside edges of the door , like 3 or 4 inches wide & however long u want ... as for that light ,,, unplug it & perform a lil demolition surgery ,, id prolly use some pliers, a razor or a knife ,, & a big flathead screwdriver , & just rip that fucker apart ,,

I'd use a grommet strip for down the door. As for the light, its in the casing for a reason Leave it in there or change the lighting rig.

yeah get a better light. it looks like your tight on cash>? High Tech Garden Supply here is a cheap light you could get some good buds with. for the light that is leaking you could get a dark towel and staple it at the top of the box and let it hang down it worked well for me.
