Okay, so I'm growing for the first time. I am about to use the paper towel method to try germinating a single AK-47 lowrider seed. So far this is my growbox:
I have two 10 gallon storage containers stacked on each other. The dimensions are 1' wide x 1.5' long x 2.2' tall. I know this a tiny grow box, but the plant only grows 10-14 inches tall, and stealth is very key. I painted the inside of the box 2 coats of black and then 2 coats of white. (started with black so the light wouldn't seep through the box).
I also have a humidifier in my room to keep the air a little moist (it's just in my room, not in the growbox). I also put a thermometer in the grow box.
So my first question is, how much lighting do I need? I was thinking about just having two 26 watt CFL lights on the top of the box. Think this will produce enough heat/light?
Second question, I was planning on cutting a small hole a little lower than halfway up the box and installing a small PVC pipe to let air in, and then having a small fan at the top to blow air out. Do you think this will be good enough air flow? should I have a small fan blowing into the box as well instead of just the pvc pipe opening??
Any suggestions will help, thank you!
