Hey guy's and gal's so after lurking for a bit I've decided to join in and begin a grow journal.
I'm planning my first:lol: indoor grow under CFL's (125w main light with 6x23watt and 2x40watt side lights in 27k and 65k) in a 36x36x22 box covered with mylar.
I'll be running soil with Foxfarm ocean forest potting soil and Happy frog fertilizers in 2 gallon pots.
Ventilation will be a 6 inch inline fan with ducting and a 4 inch clip on fan for the plants.
I'll be growing one Amphetamine automatic seed from CoTC and one Auto Blueberry seed from 00 seedbank any thoughts on my setup/ways to improve would be greatly appreciated.
As soon as I can I'll be posting pictures of my grow box being put together from scratch to finished box.
Thanks for your time, I can't wait to hear what you guys think and begin the exciting endeavor.

Here is a picture of the box I have to work with.

you'll be set with the amount of light you already have, most people start with like 1 or 2 23w cfls and ask "what is wrong with my plant?" lol. glad to see a fellow cfl grower that prepared for the up n coming journey!! good luck man!!!!!! sub'd

Hey guys and gals!
Quick update for yall.IMAG0241.jpg
I received my reflector, lights, pots and sockets today just waiting on the b/w poly and soil/nutes, should be ready by next weekend! Woohoo!!
If anyone could help me out though, I'm trying to make best use of a 6 inch 360cfm fan with ducting for ventilation.
Any ideas how I should go about setting that up?
Thanks guys can't wait to get this rolling:leaf:

cut a hole in the top, the size of the duct work/coupler, then mount your fan right on top, or hook up some ducting the your fan. heat rises, so having the extraction fan at the highest point will be most beneficial. then all you need are some passive intakes and a circulation fan.
