so i am trying to plan everything out well in advance but I need some experienced person to rate my box.
for the sake of simplicity im going to link my grow journal here.

[FONT=.HelveticaNeueUI]the only thing that has changed is that im doing 3 dinafem white widow autos in 3 gal containers from seed.[/FONT]
[FONT=.HelveticaNeueUI]i also dont have a carbon filter does anyone know of a way to make one with computer fans?[/FONT]
 
I thought i should include im doing fertilome ultimate potting mix with 25% perlite. i plan on feeding low amounts 2nd week
 
use this guide for some ideas on your filter:

is your fan on the bottom right hand side of the box pulling air in or exhausting air out? if its exhausting air it should be up high near the lights because hot air rises. look at the link and follow that venting system it works really well.

another thing i would recommend is to have better wire management, all those wires everywhere is a fire hazard, especially those laying on the ground where it could get wet. as of right now your box needs some work but with a few tweaks you will have a decent lil box.

1. id recommend a temp/humidity gauge. i dont see one in your pics and its a pretty vital part of any grow.

2. rework the vent system. then use the temp gauge to see where youre at. the lower the temps the better.

3. once you get the temps down youll be able to add more lights which you will need to maximize the three plants you will be growing. you will want to shoot for 300w for three plants if you can maintain a good temp inside the box.
