    Default Help me perfect my speaker box

    First, I dont want to deal with anybody who doesn't know what theyre talking about, too many people get their plants ruined by newbies talking out their @$$.. a reference is please dont write on my post without having done this at least 3 times before

    This is my first grow, inside a speaker box with a little bit more than 2 cubic feet of room, very small but i may bud mini plants in there or grow in there until i can clone and put more outside

    I started with a cali kush plant from seed, using a 4" fan and a 120 spotlight style plant light...... FRIED.

    Took out the 120w light, put in a 75w soft white bulb and a 25w cfl, also took out the cali kush trash and put in a brand new bubba kush clone, just rooted in a foxfarm and oceans garden mixture, still in a cup. Mounted the fan on one of the speaker holes as an outtake, no input fan yet but until i get one the output is strong enough to feel a noticeable pull into the box. The walls are mounted with basically regular white paper.

    My clone wilted under the plant light for 30 seconds, took it out and it stood back up after an hour or so. Now some of the leaves are burnt and shriveling on the ends, but i understand this may be normal for clones? (help!!!) SEE PICS FOR DETAILS I've also added a tray of ice and a thermometer to the box for humidity and tempterature. The temperature has been steadily between 60 degrees at night, and 75-80 during the day, which i believe is perfect..

    I'll add whatever i can think of but i'm just looking for help making it quieter and making sure my little girl grows up strong and healthy

    get rid of the incandescent light, they make more heat than light.

    Rather than asking go to http://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/ it will answer all your questions, you may want to start over.
