I have a few questions on my new box im putting together.

1st question: is 3 intake pc fans and 3 outtake pc fans are going to be enough or should I use less or more?

2nd question: in planning on using cfl's in it. What would be a good wattage for 2 plants in that space?
I also seen some 300 wattage equivalent bulbs at Lowe's, would those be any good or should I stick with a bunch of regular cfl's?

Also im going to use flat white paint for the walls if that helps.

Thank you in advance✌

Is there a reason your limited to this small space? I used a end table to start with but plants quickly outgrew the space. I also use cfl I have seen on the dude grows community that guru said a19 led would be better then CFL I am using cfl but may test the cheap LEDs for veg area.
You could fit 1 decent size plant in your setup and could use cheap cfl if you want I went cheap and easy each is separate or you can make a hood for that since top is already off Canadian cultivation on YouTube did it with 10 cfl. If you want super simple I'd use a lamp kit and 3 y splits 2 100w equivalent daylight and 2 softwhite. Also 6 small fans is alot for this imo maybe do 2 intake low on the sides and 2 outtakes on the back near top( in theory that should pull air up thru canopy. )
I really do think that for the effort and time if you can get or make bigger space do it. your limiting yourself from the start. I am waiting in tent cuz I went end table, closet and now closet is far to full with only 3 plants

LEDs I mentioned are same price as cfl bulbs. And y splitter is cheap lamp kit is like 10-15
Can get bulbs lamp kit and splitter for about 100 easily. Tent is for later just get it started you can use this box just wont be permanent.
Work with what you have get it started asap people have grown with just water and dirt in the backyard. Get some soil or coco and get some seeds started in this thing you made soon you get going sooner you will be able to harvest.

As mentioned above, i would go with regular LED's instead of cfl. CFL gives a rly poor light spectrum.

What is the dimensions of your box, and what is the cfm's of your pc fans?

Also, i only see you fitting 1 plant in there, unless you do some crazy SOG 12/12 from seed or so.

Thank you, Im kinda working with a budget ATM, wanting to get a tent and some leds in the future.
Take your time and start out right from the beginning. Being impatient is a surefire way to set yourself up for failure with cannabis. It's hard enough for a lot of people to learn to grow properly and confining yourself to such a small growing space is going to make it even more difficult for you.
