oh yeah,you have enough light,that box is phenomenal,but if i could give you a suggestion,you should have all the lights facing down over the plants instead of facing up and try to position each plant just so that you can maneuver them around comfortably as they grow,your set-up is damn near perfect,but it looks a little uncomfortable for YOU,when it comes time to do the essentials(i.e water,flush) but i could be wrong tho.....good luck on your grow bro,and im definitely gon keep an eye on this one....peace and smoke on

looks fine i have to agree about flipping the lights.
also it looks like you either have a watering or pH problem
i thought i saw what looked like a bit of neut burn,
you might want to flush your soil with pH 6.5 spring water and let the soil dry out
good luck on the grow will be followin,
happy tokin

thank you very much guys! you guys are right, it is a bit tight in there with all the lights. i take out each plant for watering/feeding/inspection just to be safe. other than that i have no problem rotating the plants. my 2 plants with the burns were under my buddy's care for sometime... 1 one of them was in shock due to a bad transplant (the short and bushy one), im not too sure about the other one.

As for flipping the lights down. i had that setup before but i wanted to evenly distribute the lights in the entire grow box. Vertical growth was also limited due to the fact that the bulbs were taking more space uptop than down low. i have a nice 2FT 4x T5 fixture mounted to the lid. so there is lighting from all around. The lights from the bottom will also reflect off from the fixture since everything is compact.

Smoke on guys, more comments is very much appreciated

nice set up man, i just dont understand why i see all these container grow boxes..... im confused. Do you skip vegging and go straght to flowering for the whole sequence? The plants cant get tall or have root room in such a small space, is this just a starting box? and if this is your whole box for the whole time. how much would you yield from 5 miniature plants.

im going to use this box for vegging/flowering for the first batch to hone my skills and to buy me sometime so i can expand to MH/HPS. after that the box is going to be my vegging chamber for clones and seedlings.
