DIY 5 Gal. Space Bucket Ready for Takeoff

[Chasing_Colt_45]

Just wrapped up my first space bucket. The design of the intake from a build that @Mr. Sparkle has posted on this forum (although this build is not nearly as high-tech).

Passive intake with a 120mm axial fan exhaust. Fan has a dial speed controller. Will ultimately be lit with big box store LED bulbs, about 40 Watts power total (got some cheap eBay blurple bulbs in there currently). Lined with reflective foil tape. I wanted to keep it clean and simple on the outside.

This will be housing my second grow, a single Dark Devil plant in a 1 gallon air pot... or maybe just a 1L? Currently soaking it up in a cup of distilled water.

Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think and if anyone has any suggestions on how this could be improved!

How did this work out? Any pics with a plant inside?

Nice work!
Space buckets are where I started about 3 years ago. it Didn’t take too long until the grow bug bit me and I bought a small tent.

As for improvements...maybe If you wanted less light leakage you could cover it with black duct tape? But as is should be fine too if your not looking for stealth.
Here’s the one I made with a few spacers, one spacer also had strip lightning along the sides.

good luck on your grow and have fun!
