Needed a small area to sex small amounts of plants so threw this together .

$5 tote x 2
$9 bath light x 2
6 x 100 watt equivalent cfls (6k)
$1.50 roll of metal tape
Metal film from previous job.

Simple construction . Just used the film and tape to line the box and mounted the bath lights on each side . Both are wired together to a single cord/plug . Second tote ( not pictured ) just sits on top of the first with vent holes to let heat out .

Went with bluer lights to keep the plants short while they sex . Have about $40 total invested , but will get the job done , and can even use it to throw clones in while rooting if I want .


The pic doesn't show how bright this really is . Almost blinding ,lol

Wow! Nice looking. I separate mine with 2 lamps in a closet to gather pollen. This one.....bet you could get away w/ 3-4 lamps in such small space. Excellent project!
 
Nice monkey. How did you stabalize one tote on the other?
 
Thanks and i guess the top tote opens like a door? Up and down?
 
Just pick the top tote straight up . Thats it .

Was going to put the lights in the top tote , but wanted to keep them closer to the plants . They only need to be in there till sexed , so they won't reach to high before being pulled out and put into one of 2 other areas.
