The rest were miscellaneous things I picked up at home depot. The links above are the main parts.

Thanks /r/SpaceBuckets for being such a great resource!

Right now I'm using:

• Philizon 600W LED blurple light (actual ~100w)
  
• 5 x Blumat stakes
  
• 2 x AC Infinity 120 V fans
  
• Fox Farms trio of nutrients (haven't started using them)
  
• 25% perlite, 60% local potting soil that doesn't have extended-release nutes, and 15% MiracleGro organic soil (will see how it goes...)
  
• 2 x ~40gal heavy-duty totes
  
• Oodles of electrical tape

You want this AC Infinity AXIAL 9238, Muffin Cooling Fan, 115V AC 92mm by 92mm by 38mm High Speed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009OXMZ3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-V-BzbVAM4YKG

So, you can try to get adapters to make the 2 hole plug into a 3 hole plug (they do exist, check Amazon or ebay maybe) and use a fan controller or splitter, and "IDE / 4 pin molex" power supply, as shown here: https://imgur.com/a/uMtJ8

But, that is an expensive method that requires a lot of parts. I'd suggest just cutting the connectors off and wiring them directly to a cheap 12v power supply. You can use wire nuts or crimps and electrical tape so you don't have to solder. If you do this, and need help, let me know, I can show you a diagram and more information on how to wire them. Here's some basic info: https://www.spacebuckets.com/safety/

Here's a page with some information and a link to a 12v power supply you can get (although I'd get a similar 2amp one for the 3 fans, not the 1amp one they link): https://www.spacebuckets.com/airflow

Another option is to use AC powered fans, linked in the guide above. These are really powerful and well worth the extra money. Then there's no custom wiring or anything, each fan has a regular wall plug :). Also, the AC fans are able to push through a carbon filter better if you ever add one. They have 80mm, 92mm (linked) and 120mm versions. Make sure to get the high speed variants. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009OXMZ3Y/

I'd go the AC powered fan route before buying a fan controller or many adapters for your existing fans. However, the cheapest way would be to direct wire the fans you have, you'd only have to buy the wire nuts / crimps and 12v power supply. So maybe $10.

Make sure to pick up a GFCI adapter, too! https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gfci+adapter

Materials:

2 black 32 gallon trash cans from Home Depot

black gorilla tape

1 black lid

1 grey brute lid- has actual flat top on lid which makes light mounting easy...

rotary tool- drill bit and cutoff tool

3 cans of white spray paint + primer

300w mars

24 hour timer

surge protector

fans:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009OXMZ3Y
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009OWRMZ6

90 degree black PVC elbows(top one is 5" pvc I think??? street style(?) has longer bend, bottom one is 4")

bottom half of brute is set up as drain pan

With the lids, I wanted some way to keep the light well ventilated and cool, but also not slide around so I made hole just big enough for the lights to shine through on bottom flat lid and then I cut off everything sticking up on black lid and mounted that on top with a larger hole.

Bucket is in closet where temps are currently 77 F inside and outside bucket. The temp of the room connecting to the closet is about 2-4* cooler and the closet door is open. However I am running a 40w CFL way above the rooting clone which probably isn't helping temps.

I currently have my original clone in the bucket but since it is not the healthiest plant and I've learned a lot since getting it, I have a clone on the side that I'm waiting for to root and then I will put it in smartpot with coco, throw out old plant, and start fresh with my new setup and knowledge.

Biggest issue I'm having is the exhaust fan is rather loud and I'm not sure what product to buy to slow it. The fan has an AC plug on it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Big thanks to this sub for inspiration, knowledge, and help with my builds!

The bottom 2 holes are the intake and the top two bigger ones are pushing air out.. is that not intake/exhaust? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B009OXMZ3Y/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1#immersive-view_1503840471535

Those are the 92mm fans at the bottom and the top are the same but 120mm

I bought [this](Gdstime 92mm x 25mm 24V Silent fan for Computer Case and CPU Cooler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075S9CH3T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VyL7Ab0HH6F72) but it’s not pushing any air at all. now I’m looking at [this](AC Infinity AXIAL 9238, Muffin Fan, 115V 120V AC 92mm x 38mm High Speed, for DIY Cooling Ventilation Exhaust Projects https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009OXMZ3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cBL7Ab6Q6MGW5 ) instead.
