So started doing some research towards building my own little 1-2 plant set-up recently.I need some advice before i screw this up to bad!
My box is n custom 1.5 x 1.35 x 1.35.My lights 2 x 48w daylight 6700k 1 x 25w cfl warm light for veg and 2 x 25w cfl warm and 1x 48w cfl daylight for flower.my growing medium is coco coir perlite/vermiculite 25/25/50 coco mix.Growing 1 clone and 1 seed (greenhouse) to see the difference.2 extraction fans and to normal fans(cpu fans) for cooling the box.my extras are a temp,humid meter in the box and in the room i have a co2 blower going on 3 times a day.:weed:

This is my first grow and i know there are a lot to learn but with some advice i might just nail it.:hump:

That is a pretty small box you have there I would recommend starting in a closet and using an HID light even if its just a small 250W. I would recommend picking up a book from your local book store and reading up on how to grow with that little of light your clone will most likely stretch a lot and choke out your seedling. You will also need something to adjust PH and a nutrient program. Hope this helps.

Exactly, Box setups must be very vented. ( in and out flow ) and much bigger than just " What you need ". best bet is a closet. Would steer away from CFLs and whatnot. go t5 for veg and hps for bloom. There are other methods of course. This is what I like.
