Man, I got my grow box about 95% done, it's covered in plastic (I'm not going to use canvas and I'll explain why) I have the light in it and running, I have the new planter in there that I will use for an ebb and flow system, and I have a small tray in there for a drip system. All I have left to do is cut a hole in the side for a fan, install the fans, get the fans wired up, possibly install a duct system for the bulb, put a drain and inlet in the new planter I got, and put the hydroponics system together.

But heres the bad news about the whole thing, I wasn't thinking when I first purchased all the raw materials, and thought it out, but I am going to have to rebuild the box to make in twice as tall, see my largest plant is 10" tall, the planter it will sit in is about 8" tall, the light is 12" tall, so add that up, its 30" and the box is 36" tall, so my plant will be only 6 inches from a scorching hot bulb, plus with this bulb it will grow very fast, and I will run out of room.

I have pictures and video of the current system as it stands, but I am going to rebuild this thing, oh and just in case you guys are wondering why I haven't already, is because I just wanted to get it done really fast, and see what I could do with it.

building your own system from scratch isn't as easy as you may think, because you have to see the smallest problems before they occur, and sometimes while your doing that, you don't notice the huge problems.
