I am new to this site but plan on staying for quite some time; this is my first post. I have a small grow box (2'x2'x2') using cfls. I am using the cfl's and cardboard box because of money and stealth issues. I'm on day 7 today and just wanted to know what you guys thought about my grow. I'm planning on building a better one in the near future and finishing up the grow in there. And sorry for such low quality, I'm using my dell webcam. The last 2 pictures were taken just now.

Yours is looking good, and thank you for the tips. I positioned the pc fan near the power strip to maximize heat reduction, but fire has been a fear of mine. In the pictures it shows 6 bulbs when I'm normally using 4 (not using the middle set). I am using the 6 now because I have the "door" to the box open with a decently powerful fan blowing into the box to strengthen the stalks of the plants. I have been doing this for about 6 hours a day then switching back to stealth mode.
 
u said u have the power strip inside the box i would try and put it outside. due to the plug set up i guess u don't live in the uk i used the plug set up which each light has it's own cable and plug set so the plugs and cable are on the outside just a bit of cable go's threw the top ov the cabnet im not dissing your grow box it just would be a bit safer and not so hot for the plug set......nice.

Nope I think everyone see's that. I built this for like 60 bucks. And are you having fun coming to the newbie section to talk shit? The see through cups were to see root development and they will be transplanted.

Well it didn't seem like he was helping. I just want people to realize how little money I spent on this, it is a learning experience for me.

Yeah you got to have thick skin around here. A lot of people like to troll this site and act like they are " all that " when in fact they are just noobs themselves. Don't worry too much about it ;)
