BP's First Grow (Stealth Box)

Just found this site a week ago or so and have been finding a lot of good information here (not to mention some sexy pics of ladies). I just started growing in a small 2ft. tall box (Roughly 2 foot tall and 2 foot wide only 1 foot deep) using a DIY bubbleponics system made out of a tupperware container (not sure how much water it holds) with an air stone in it with a small fish tank air pump attatched to the side of the box. The entire inside of the box is covered in reflective tape (don't remember what it's called..) and has three lights that are basically small flourescents not really sure their specs either it all came in a set for like 200$ not a bad deal. Anyway I ordered some Blue Mystic seeds online from somewhere in London and was about a week from harvest when I found this website.

Here's some pictures of the setup with the plant in it, roughly 8 weeks into flowering, and some pictures of the finished product. I only had one out of three plants go female on me (definitly need me some AFs next time) and got about 9g of dried bud. It was my first time growing and totaled just under 11 weeks of total time from seed to my bowl so lemme know what ya think and ask any questions or any tips as well and if I may say this shit tastes so sweet.

Dude you have to make things on your own. My cab cost me like 170 EUR but first ever yield was 40g. Now after buying some more CFL's I am looking forward to some 100 g hopefully. Your issue is height but you can beat it with SCROG more lights and fans. Probably put some light shield. When you buy something like kit or set you always pay for some shitty stuff that comes along. Better is to choose the right stuff on your own.

I'm not very handy and really didn't know shit about growing when I bought it but it works and yeah height was my issue. I thought when you put the flower light cycle into effect it would stop vertically growing relatively soon. Not the case as she continued to grow at least three more sets of leaves so that's why the odd shape of the plant. How many plants did you grow to get 40g? I knew the blue mystic strain was a low yielder but I wanted to try it anyway, getting some fem AFs next time anyway and I'll have 6 plants in there so my yield will get a lot better. Also what is light shield? Sorry total newb haha. Yeah they gave me some crappy shit to start off I had to go get a lot of better stuff but I'm not sure what to do about the lighting.

I grew only one plant! The second turned out male. From what I've learned here. It doesn't matter that you put more plants. Total yield will be so big how powerful are your lights. Light means everything. Other things come after. There is a ratio that you should follow. 10 000 lm for square foot. This is what natural sun provides. So when you get closer to that then more you yield. Six plants will fight for light and they will not grow properly. Better train one or two babbies there.

Light shield is a simple glass plate that people put between lights and plant. It is smaller than inside of cab so that air can flow at the sides. Glass blocks most of the heat if there are proper fans at right places. It works as very simple cooltube just without tube

You probably would like to see what one plant can bring with proper light. Of course this is bigger cab but the Idea is clear - https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/457855-one-man-his-bush-1-a-99.html

40g with one plant is nice. My buddy just hooked me up with an AK47 clone and I just put her in the box. This will be a good strain to get some more weight from. Those bulbs I have in there give off about 1000 lumens a piece so my lights suck, what would be better to use in there do you think? I can post pics of my whole setup soon I don't have much room at all for lights so I'm not sure what to do and I'm not sure how to get more air circulating in there.
