To begin me and two of my friends began a growing project about 6 months ago, we invested about 600 dollars altogether to build a box so that it could fit in the allotted space we'd attained for the project.
We ran into some problems during the building though, and now i come to the internet and this wonderful community of growers and stoner's to ask for your advice.
We bought 4 x 4 foot plywood boards about 1 1/2 inches thick and put a box together, the original plans had glue sealed sides of the box and tar paper covering the entire inside. We were going to have the top come up on door hinges, and have a charcoal filter to the outside to make the smell dissipate as far as you can get rid of the smell of plants, we were going to dedicate one cubic foot per plant, and have 4 lights on the inside all HPS bulbs. we were planning on 16 plants seeing as how 4 * 4 = 16 and one cubic foot is the recommended growing room. This was also going to be combined with a bluetooth activated locking device on the door hinge which we purchased due to its discreet nature, and its ability to confuse someone staring at a box without a lock on the outside.
While we were building though we made the stupid mistake of buying all the plywood evenly so a box couldnt be perfectly built leaving about a cubic inch or two on every corner, the door hinge idea for the top was plausible but is a lot of weight to be straining the plywood with while lifted, and the main problem that i see is that plywood isnt very durable nor long lasting so i wanted either a studier platform to work from like plastic or a harder wood, or maybe wood couple with metal plating for support.
So now i pose the question, if you were going to go about this project what advice would you have for me? And moreover how would you go about it?
