my first attempt for a grow room

Ok Im starting out with a 16"W x 18"D x 32"H box. using daylight cfls, about 7 right now but plan for 9. in a neat compact 4"H x 9"W x 12"L inclosed box with plexyglass bottom. purpose of light box is to keep heat away from the plants. there is a fan and duct system on light box to draw heat away and up out the box. i have pictures of my setup. lumen count from lights are 9 27 watt daylight 5100k CFLS, meaning 100watt light efieciency 1750 lumens perlight = 15,750 lumen in its sq ft box. is this enough space and light to grom? oh also my plant appears to have some kinda dark spots on the bigger leafs (there is a pic number 3) you can see on its biggest leaf in the middle of the picture. the plant is now 2 months old and been topped twice on top there are 6 tops at same height it has been stumped sum what b cuz of replanting. what you all think???

Not bad for a first attempt. Nice and compact.

plant looks healthy besides that minor lookin nute burn but not sure.
diggin the set up did you make that wood cfl fxiture holder your self?
most excellent!

Yes, thank you. There has been a lil change tho, i mounted the lights in the lightbox on the side for better lumen effi. Also theres now a 100watt hps in the center and only 4 cfls around it. The plants are now in flowering stage YES!!!!

Oh an yes i made everything
