i was wondering if i have enough light to grow one good weed plant in this grow box i just built.

i gutted an old speaker, its about 2 ft tall, a foot wide, and a foot deep.

the lights i have are: a 2 foot florescent tube (20 watt t10 grow light from walmart) vertical on the back wall, a 23 wat cfl, an 18 watt cfl, and a 7 wat cfl.

also the entire box is painted pure white.

im planing on useing soil.


will i be able to get a plant and any bud?

I would suggest that you put All of those lights in the box, burn them for a day, then take the temperature inside the box to see how hot it gets.
Tell us then too.

Enough? There is a bare minimum to keep a plant alive and there is AMPLE. You have enough..not ample, but enough.

Are you venting the box with fan?

im going to put a small fan inside it, would that work? or how could i set up a fan to vent without making the box noticeable?

oh and i have another question, would a 16 oz party cup be good enought to grow the plant in, or should i use something bigger?

If you have a box that size, don't mess around with half a dozen different bulbs. Go and grab yourself a couple of 150Watt CFL's from Home Depot. They will be all you need. Putting a fan in there is a great idea, on the lowest setting you can get.

you will only learn by doing.

well im kinda low on money, which is why i want to grow my own weed so i dont have to buy it. i might get one of those lights if my first grow is a successful one

use a computer fan, from an old broken down computer. They ae very quit and small too.

They are only about 9 bucks a piece. cfls, soft light daylight, 42watt which is 150 equivalent.
