small ghetto rigged cloning/vegging/germinating cfl grow box - december 31 2009

i need a small growbox for clones, germination, small plants in vegetative state, etc.

i spent about $50 at target (with a gift card i was given, so no cash out of pocket), there i purchased the power strips, the lights, the box and lid, as well as the 2 trays that fit inside the box, the boxes dimensions are 14" on all sides

i then spent about $15 at osh for the wall plug to light socket adapters, then the light socket splitters, i also got the small biodegradable fiber pots there

the splitter seems to be really difficult for people to find, or so it seems from forums i have read, osh has them for under $4 so go get yours there, they also have the wall plug to socket adapters for about 3$




the box is about 90% done, the last thing i will be adding are 2 fans, one for intake and one to blow air out, gotta' keep things circulated

i am using cfl bulbs, there are 4 @ 26watt, the bulbs are 6500 kelvin so they should work out well for vegging



there are 2 shallow plastic trays inside, each with 8 small pots, i seriously doubt i am going to try to keep 8 plants in this tiny space, maybe 4 at most, probably shouldn't do more than 2 haha, but this is an expandable system, it would cost me about 20$ and a bit of sawzall wackiness to make it twice as tall, handy little modular cubes from target
