High everyone I am new to rollitup but not to cannabis lol. I dont have any pics yet so i will describe my indoor organic box and plant. my plant is alaskan thunderf@$k from seed very strong strain i had some last year a very deep green with crimson hairs.
My box is 15"x15"x3' 6". The back and sides are sealed with 3" foil tape about 2mil. thick and very reflective. the front of my box has a plexi-glass door backed with tin foil. my door works like a porta-potty door but i have weather stripping around frame to keep unwelcome light out and smell in. my intake fan is a 5" fan located at the bottom. on the opposite side wall at the top i have a PC exhaust fan wired at 9V for noise and heat reduction. i have a 4" PVC elbow hooked up to a cone filter for a car filled with active carbon coming off of my exhaust fan. my box has a rolled roofing floor in it. My lighting system is 4 60 watt CFL bulbs (im only growing one plant right now.) all my electricals plug into a surge protector and my exhaust fan has its own seperate switch so that i can turn it off when inducing natural CO2 from a 2 liter bottle. my box stays around 65 degrees at night and 75 to 85 degrees during the 16 hour daylight period (i have it all on a light timer). my plant is in organic worm castings mixed with blueberry based compost. i will use compost tea for nutes and have a recipe for organic bloom booster for later use.
my questions are:
does it sound legit in general or any major problems?
will my lights be sufficient for one plant during vegetation time? what lighting for flowering time?
and if i kill my lights fan and all for one hour in the middle of each 16 hour day to allow my lights to cool down some will it have a noticably negative affect on growth?
thanks for your time and any help is greatly appreciated
