I had an Idea for a new box after I get my own place, and good cash flow. The lights are going to be connected to a small 50 or 60 dollar fridge from walmart with the heat in the light and the cold from the fridge there wouldn't even be a need for a fan the air would just circular on it own. I think this would vastly reduce the overall heat of the whole box.
If this is not a new idea i'm sorry.

I don't even know where to start with this one. Refrigerators generate tremendous heat outside of the box. Leaving the door open will just cause the unit to run and create an oven inside the box.

Criz - you should be ok in your box as long as your plants are similar in height and they are ready to flower at the same time. Your fan setup sounds like a great idea - let's see some pics once you got er rigged up.

I don't see how that would be any different then using an a/c unit to cool a big room as long as the box is the right temp who cares. If i'm correct the box is in a garage or shed anyway.

Hey all, hate to keep beating this post up but yet again I have another question........ when filling up my reservoir, I have a well, so should I use the well water or bottled? and if it have to purchase water what kind does everyone suggest, thanks once again.

your well water should be better then spring water, its usually the chlorine lvls in the tap water that kills plant life. If your worried you can do a few things
1) if you want you can leave the water out 24 hours, chlorine evaporates faster then water
2) just be safe and buy bottled water
side bar: distilled water is just as good for plants as spring water and only costs about 75c a gallon at walmart

Buy a Reverse Osmosis unit from ebay. They are cheap and will pay for itself the first harvest. You want to use distilled or Reverso Osmosis water preferably. I think I paid 80 bucks for a 5 stage RO unit. You do the math 20 gallons of distilled water at 79 cents a gallon a week for 12 weeks. That is $189.60 in water for one harvest! You can get RO water at some grocery stores for 29 cents a gallon. Still $69.60, so you do the math.
