Wild guess of yield from design.

This will be used for the grow box. its 23.9x15.9x16.5in
Roughneck Storage Box - 18 gal

The interior will be covered with mylar and will have 4 CFLs on top.
It will have a small fan placed inside for air circulation, and it will have another two fans mounted on the sides of the box (intake,outtake) w/ carbon scrubber

How many plants could I grow in that size of box?
Would if be smarter to do SCROG to get more yield out of that small of an area?
Whats the yield estimates?
Any other tips or suggestions are welcomed, except i doubt ill get a HPS due to lack of money & ways to get it.

thank you - s|ean

That is not nearly enough light. That would barely grow one plant. You need at least 3 of the 42w cfls just for one short bushy plant. And you will probably only get a couple plants in that small of an area. I would just go with one plant in there.

if your expecting a lot then don't because I have 8 42w cfls and i grew 2 and they weren't really worth while
