hat does everyone think of this system for a small mylar lined grow box

http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Plant-HIGH-YIELD-Hydro-System-NEW-WAVE-TEK-5-Light_W0QQitemZ200072131095QQihZ010QQcategoryZ42225QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

- its 3x3x4 foot (I may be able to push it to 5 feet high)with 4 computer fans converted to AC power taking air in - and a Bathroom vent fan ducted into the attic. I was wondering if its a decent price and good enough lights for 3 to 4 plants at a time ( I have Big Bud / Northern Lights cross seeds coming from amsterdamseeds)

Id be happy to hear any opinions - I have around $200 to spend on the light and hydro system the whole box cost me about 60$ to make including all the fans and mylar

Also does anyone use fox farm nutirents - if so how do you all like them


Thanx for the time

Off to the DYI store and wally mart to save money.
I use buss trays from a restruant supply $3 bucks
styrofome cups 3bucks for 24

3/8 crushed granit $40 for a cubic yard or $3.25 a bag more than enough for a small grow.

Ok to make sure I have this correct

Ill need an air stone or two as well right?
-Cut holes in the tray to hold the pots above the water in the grow box?
-Grab full service flors from walmart (they come with fixtures so they already run?)
-use the granite as the grow medium ?
-Use the flors and styrofome for starting the plants
-transfer into the pots from walmart (hopefully buy a hps light system for flowering)

What are beach sand cups?

If you could help me out a little more that would be great, Im new at this but ive found a lot of good info from you and g.j. warner on here

you prolly here this a lot but thanx for the help - yall make it a lot easier

1 make sure they are full service not electronic ballast.
I would not buy for walliemart especialy bulbs
when you start out the plants you want ot use styrophome cups with perlite 75% and 25% vermulite (SP)
once started out you can put them in to Buckets they use to go to the beach about 1/2 gal or 2 liters. they are blue, red yellow I like the blue as it prevents light from getting on the rots. Once they are bigger than 13-16 oz put them in to the beach buckets with lots of holes in the bottom 3/8 , you can find net pots and use 3/8 granite.
Its alot cheaper to do it you self then the buy a micky mouse system. nothing against mickey mouse.
Air stones that with the pump /s will keep solution moving up.
Hell fuzzy practice on tomatoes , you will be supprised on how much they will produce.
