No. At least 100 watts of cfls. 150 of mh/hps just because I haven't found smaller. And about 80-100 of a proper led with 3 watt chipsets in the proper spectrum. While weed will grow like a weed, you must have at least these for a decent finished product. And I don't mean amazing or high grade but simply decent.

With a 1x1x1 any way you could get a small 1x1 piece of glass from Home Depot and put that between your light and plant with a small fan blowing on top? Just throwing ideas at ya!!

With a 1'cu. Box you don't have many options, 2 42w cfls will barely get you a yield. Is there any reason in Particular your growing anyways? With the money you spend on supplies you could easily buy the equivalent of weed.

I just like growing. I like seeing the outcome. I used to do larger grows but kids are older now and I don't want them seeing right now. So I'm going in a 1x1x1 cube speaker box. I will use a large cfl at 100 watts real output and a 23 watt cfl 100 watt equiv. if I get a little more than an eigth I'm happy. I have an Auto#1 in my windowsill now at a week old. Time to get out of window.

That's the bulb. It's a grow bulb. I bought it. Not here yet but really want some time to use. I just completed my grow box. Have to get some black strip foam to block the light from speaker hole. Right now I just black electrical taped it. Hope no one notices it before I dress it up good. Ill take pics probably tomorrow.

I can't be the only one that actually wants to watch this grow. I don't know that I've ever watched a small grow like this. Could be fun. Are you going to run a journal? You know, there's also that solo cup autoflower contest going on, GetNice. Think about it.

Absolutely this is a journal. I'm going to keep this thread going as the official "Auto #1" feminized grow journal. My cabinet is awesome but need to refine the barrier around speaker grate for no light leaks. Right now it's okay but taped I don't want that I want it unnoticeable even with a hard stare.

If you have an ikea they now sell led bulbs cheap . A 100 watt equiv led bulb was like $19 used like 15 watts or 20watts i forget break down. But 3 or 4 of those get pretty bright no heat and they offer 3 color spectrums.

I don't have room for more than two bulbs. I believe I will get excellent results with this tiny set up. It's ultra bright. I will fine tune it and post pics early tomorrow. Given my kids give me time alone. Lol
