a grow box have to be light proof, for the 12 12 flowering cicle, so what you made is not a grow box, remember light proof and ventilation.

that light will do for now , but when u can buy more ! u need at least 2-3 , and did u say it was softwhite ? u wanna make sure the fluro bulbs u get are cool'daylight' also look on the globe/pack for 6500k thats what globe u need , what are the dimensions of your box ? and whats with the tin foil on your pot lol ? does it have drainage? if u can get rid of the tinfoil and paint that cabnit white ! u will get hot spots that burn your plant with the tin foil , if u cant paint it goto your local hydroponic store and buy mylar it looks like tinfoil but heaps better , make sure u get a light timer from your local hardware also set it to 18'on/6 off , and grab a temp/humidity gauge while your there .

do u got a beeta pic of ur box?

da 100 watt should work try to get like a 250 or like me I have a 300 watt but I'm growin 4 plants. and it also looks like ur light should be way mor closer about 1-3 inches away from tha plant.

n u can't grow bad weed unless
1.u dnt take care of it right,nutes,water,light ext.
2.u turn it into a hermp cause by stress
3.or just all around fuck it up lol

n if u want it to grow fast more or betta light n tha right dose of nutes

does dat help u sum

Hey, I was in the same position as you aboouut, 2 months ago. It's my first time growing too :)

Make sure you don't over water it, and it needs ventilation to grow to the stalk nice and strong. Other wise it could collapse
