What kind of box?

[Stizz1e]

werd man thanks for the kind words. I cut two 3 inch holes in the bottom of the box to let cool air in and one in the top to vent, but its not enough with all those cfls. I'm going to get a fan in there soon to circulate air hopefully that will help. I will need to figure something out when I get my hps. Going to grow clones, not entirely sure of the strains yet, but one will be a banana kush with any luck.

Nice stizzle ventilation i tight quarters can be interesting. I had 250 watt hps enclosed ballast and swapped it for a 400 watt air cooled that with decent ventilation ran cooler than that dern 250.

yeah, the box still needs some work, but i want to get growing already.

thanks man. the grow is actually underway as we speak. Got two OG Kush clones and one Green Morphine. The cat got into them though so i dont know if one of the OG clones is going to make it. if it doesnt i've found some paris kush clones to replace it with.

I removed the cabinet doors and replaced them with curtain backing, its white and has velcro down the middle. Easy to get in and out of completely light proof, and it helps my temps a few degrees. My squirrel fan comes tomorrow so that will help with temps too. I have a 250 watt hps on the way, its got a remote ballast, so I hope my ventilation will be adequate. to recap my ventilation will be two 3" passive intake holes and a 28cfm squirrel fan, with 2 fans in the cabinet for circulation.

Put in a riser table under the 2 small guyz so they can be closer to the lights. I'm growing under 150 watt eq cfls and i have them about 2" from the plants tops, no burn.

Your plants are deffinately stretched alot. Right now you should take the screen out and get the lights as close as possible untill they are a couple nodes high. Then weave them into the screen and flower.

the tallest clone came to m extremely stretched, I topped it and suppercroped it, so hopefully it will stack better now.

I have a 250 watt hps on the way, it has a remote ballast. If the temps stay at 77F now, with 14 23watt CFLs will it be hotter or about the same with the 250 watt?
