looks about the same size as my box, tin foil is "ok" but if i were u id try to get something better and i cant really tell from pics but which side of the tin foil is facing the plants? shiny or dull side...you want the DULL side to face the plants, the shiny side eats light.

also ur gonna want some ventilation, once that starts growing and especially flowering its gonna smell up ur whole room/house.

what soil are you using?
did u germinate the seed before u planted it?
you should probably get something in there so u can tell the temp in the box, my temp stays around 75-77F and about 65-67F when lights are off.
whats ur current light cycle? 24/0, 18/6, 12/12?
my bulbs say the wattage on them, i use CFL's to grow...their fairly cheap but still good for growing

i am also on my 1st grow and its going great, good luck with yours:weed:

what type of bulbs you are going to use?

if its CFL's, you want up to 150w
like 26w, 26w, 26w etc.. until it adds up to 150w (their are people who use 200w and up) but when reading a CFL don't look at the equivalence... it would say something like 26w=100w.... don't look at the second number... you want the first number.... and you want that to add up to 150w..... but just to start off... get yourself 3 26W 6500K CFL's for VEG.... just to get started...once you got that... come back for more info.. because you'll want to improve on your set up

yeah... to start off....but once you go into flowering, you will need more lights... but we'll get into that once you're close
