Most of the stuff used in hydroponics can be made by yourself. The magazines just give ya ides to shrink down and use yourself.

Do you think it would be alright if I bought a cheap like 30 dollar one then made sure it was vented well?

I forget your exact set up, if using a cabinet it's gonna have to be air cooled. Which is easy enough to do to just about any reflector.

Well the reflector wont have glass, its gonna probably be a wing syle with no hole for exhaust. But I'm planning on pulling air out of it with some tubing and a fan. And running the air though a carbon filter.

oh shit, not with that fan you posted. did you read what we all said about it? it will definitely not work with a filter attached but it would maybe be okay with nothing impeding the flow

Well shit. How much was that fan of yours? And how much electricity does it use?

The pics with the white coat (car engine paint cause it takes the heat) are the after pics. The flat white worked better then the sheet metal alone. I use to do air conditioning that is how I learned to do work with metal. Now if you can dimple the inside or get a dimpled insert that is better then flat white paint. When I made that I was still fairly new to growing.

Looks like a damn nice job!!!
I was asking because I have a roll of aluminum sheeting in my garage, I could easily crease bend and fold it to make a ballast.
I was thinking about buying a 250w security light and remote ballasting it for my current cab and building my own reflector. That will save me at least $100...

trip why don't you get a reflector from rvfgardensupply.com I think they still have a deal code for 15% off you can enter. Its under the sponsors forum, and he usually has a monthly deal of 10-15% off. I got 30% when I ordered my reflector from there it was a sick deal. I dunno just another idea.
