Smile Ikea fabbed CFL grow box
Hello and thank you to everybody who took the time to read this and help me out! I have been searching and browsing this forum for endless hours to make sure i could find an answer to a list of questions that i wrote out BEFORE i asked them in a post. Here are the questions i am left with:

1. When it is time to add fertilizer, would Alaska Fish Fertilizer (5-1-1) & Superthrive B1 Enhancer Combo in a 1 gallon jug of water be sufficient for feeding my plants throughout the Vegetative stage of growth?

2. My grow space is approx 15 Cubic Feet total and if im right; on a passive intake/active exhaust system i will need at least a 15cfm exhaust fan to be safe and hopefully ensure that my temps stay below 82F? will i also need a smaller intake fan too? or will a small fan inside of the box be ok with just a normal passive intake/active exhaust? I have two bottles of yeast, sugar and water to create CO2.

3. I plan on using either 6x6 (3.4L/0.89gal) or 7x7 (6L/1.58gal) square pots as final resting place. I only have 6 sq ft of total floor space in the box and i would like to keep at least 3-6 plants at all times. I just have to supply enough for two ppl who smoke an average of half oz or more per week. My grow box dimensions are 2' depth x 3' width x 2.5' height, so you can see that vertical space is limited. After all the endless hours of eventual cross-eyed vision browsing, i figured a SCROG method would be best for optimal yield?? or does anyone have a better suggestion for a growing method in such a space?

4. I dont know how i will keep the only 3 plants i have now, available for future growing without cloning or growing 1 of 3 to be strictly the mother (if any of that made sense)... Won't i need a seperate area for cloning and keeping a mother plant? Therefore, i would have a grow box AND another spot for Mom and her clones? Could i keep the clones and mother in the same area under a constant vegetative state assuming i have to keep them seperate?

I guess what im trying to ask is if there is a better method that anyone knows about that will only use the one grow box to continually supply two people with greens who smoke on average of a half ounce per week? idk what that cumulative amount would have to be per harvest. I cant figure that math out yet. I have to process the information i already read about first! lol...
Anywho, thanks for sticking with it and reading this without pics. Im still taking lots of video and photos of my operation so nobody will miss a beat. I just gotta spend the time and money to get a computer cable for my digital camcorder instead of spending it on my grow setup!

Wow... all of you are right about not getting much feedback without pictures! I have still been taking video and photos of my grow since the beginning till present, so you can all follow along. I was kind of hoping for a response before tomorrow but its all good. I think i may have made a poor introduction to the forum . I plan on purchasing a lot of items from lowes, home depot, sea-of-green hydroponics and Best Buy tomorrow to complete my grow box and finally get a cable for my digital camcorder! Im just going to keep browsing and break in the new digital vape i purchased! Cheers

Oh yeah! One more question in regards to optimum total wattage and lumens for a 15 Cubic Foot Box with 6 sq ft floor space? I have been pondering a new idea for more CFLs and possibly four 2' High Output T5 lights as permanent fixtures to the roof i have yet to construct for the box. Thanks again for any help you can spare!
