To get a good answer you're going to need to tell us more about what you want to learn/do.

We can tell you to build a room, get a grow tent, turn out your closet.

We could say to get 1k HPS or LED's or T5's.

We could say to use hydro or an ebb and flow...

You get the idea, you got two house lamps with 4 bulbs, in a corner of a bedroom; you cant have high expectations for that. Will it grow a plant, sure. But how serious are you, how much time and money and space can you spare? These are things you want to consider before trying to grow anything. Once you have set limitations for yourself you can develop a plan that will maximize the effectiveness of said decided space, time and money.

Don't take this negatively or become discouraged Think of it of a re-organization of your final plan.

You ain't lying when you said grow BOX!!! LMFAO.... Ok ok...enough of that. Don't use that box cause you might burn the house down. Flat white walls will do just fine. Since u wanna use just CFLs, go to home depot and get 2 of these cfl below. 4200 lumens each and you should be good to go. You won't be pulling lbs but you'll get decent smokes.

Here's a gal thats vegging under one of those cfl at the moment in a 5 gallon pot. She's still in training.

Seriously? I'm a bit lost for words to be honest. Growing in a cardboard box is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen lol. Mould, damp, fire are all guaranteed IMO. Those little cfls are good if you have 300000 of them. It'll do one plant but be prepared to move up to hps/MH or even led. That plant is a bit stretched out so be prepared to support the branches if the do bud up.

Good luck bro.

It's hard to take you serious OP when you consider a cardboard box.

Small grows the size of a PC case have been done and are mass produced and available online. If that's the way you wish to go.

If you still wish to build a box, it needs to be real wood and larger, here is an idea I did a while back. Ended up working well for vegging 4 and flowering 1.

Thanks for really looking out bro n positive advice but my plan was to outline the inside with Mylar I just thought it would be easier to make adjustments as far as installing fans n more lighting but looks like that was another bad idea. And what do you think as far as soil and nutes

addicted2erb · Sep 5, 2014

Im trying man it's a lot of research but I'll get it one of these days

These were grown with just plain water and molasses, nothing else. If you wanna use nutes, get some jacks classic nutes. Simple cheap and effective. This is just MY opinion and experience.

Ok I'll get both and I use it during veg and flowering?
