Hello. I would like to share my grow box with you. First I would like to thank Hemp4Victory for hooking me up with the plants, gidget for providing funds and muscle and also fishindog for posting a great thread which inspired me to build my rig, check it out at: (https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/141891-my-stealth-closet-grow-must.html)
This is my first time growing ever, so I wanted to keep it small scale and as stealthy as possible. Please comment and give constructive criticism!

The beginning: Arrival of the plants
A temporary home for the refugees
:
Box with mylar, with some friends (cucumbers):
A few days later, showing some growth:
Outfitting the intake fan:
Intake fan from the inside, exhaust adjacent on the other side:
Only running 2x 42w CFLs right now, more will come later:
A few more days of growth:
Door (made from sidepanel of computer chassis), hinge, latch:
Adding a carbon filter to connector duct:
A look from the outside (looks dirty from flash on camera :S)
Added more lights! But now I'm having heat issues, will probably have to cut vent holes in the top of the box.
2/4 of the plants as they are now (March 15: Approx 1 month since germination):
I will keep this thread updated with pics frequently.
