Ok, So i like the idea, and I think it has a lot of potential. But I've got a few questions and a couple of mods that I think might make it better. First, for the questions, if the box is all sealed wouldn't it seem like a hassle to water the plants everyday? And do you run the fan 24/7? or just when the lights are on? Also, how do you keep the plants from burning when they reach the lights. It seems to me that you need some kind of guard like plexiglass over the lights. Now for the mods, I know they are hard to come by but do you think a 55 gallon drum might work better? I often start my plants inside using my closet and run the lights 24/7 until they reach 16"-24" in height then move them outside around late March when it stays above 45 degrees at night. I like the idea, i really do. But i think you would come out better if you modified the boxes to accomodate water and use a hydro pump.
