NewB grower box

So I'm kind of new in this grow box setup and need bit of help..I built a box thats about 1 foot in length and 1 foot wide and about 2 foot high..I've got a 12 w blue cfl..The box is coverd in tin foil..I would appreciate some help just to find out if it's fine and if it will work..I've got Bubbelgum kush and skunk strains I'm growing.Thanks

What's you ventilation plan?

personally i think you need more light, approx 50 watts minimum more likely 100 of cfls at 6000k/2700k veg/flowering (2 42watt cfls is great for the overall grow but you have to choose the proper spectrums for the proper phases)
your going to need ventilation of some sort. pc fans work well for a box your size.
i have heard tin foil does not work well in large amounts due to the poor light reflection and heat spots it causes not to mention it rips easily.
are you using soil or hydro?
please look up scrog as this will probably be necessary even if you go 12/12 from seed.
what other equipment do you have currently?

12 watts is ridiculously insufficient , as karousing stated, you really need 100 watt per plant minimum

Thanks everyone,I'm just new to this grow box idea,I grow outside and never had problems with the harvest..I use the red light when they go into flowering stage? 12/12 cycle but need to leave them in the dark for 36 hours? Is that correct?

You are better off just painting the inside of your box white. Better reflective qualities and quite frankly; tin foil is a silly cliche in shitty TV shows. Don't use tin foil. You'd be better off with nothing.

Any suggestions? 2 35w and 1 26w CFLs. Closet style : )

Jorge Cervantes: Ultimate Grow, This video is great. I learned tons. You need alot more light. I am only using about 90w and I could probably use a little more light.
