Basically I have a very small grow box to be exact 6 x 6 x 12 inches for lighting im using a 13watt (100watt equavilent) 3000k cfl bulb and for ventalation im using nothing because the grow box doesnt get hotter then 90 with this bulb. Long story short is this bulb good or any suggestions?

Are you going to attempt a shoe box grow? That my friend is something that I want to see!!!! Yeah that one light should be enough for that space. You are definitely going to need ventilation though. Are you doing soil or hardcore hydro:D??

Pk, I'm sorry man but I was LMAO when I was replying earlier. Be realistic, 6"x6"x12"??? What do you really think you are going to acheive in this small space. If, and I mean IF, your plant grows, it WILL out grow the space very quickly....
Are you still living at home with mom and dad that you want to go to such lengths just to maybe grow .8 of a gram????
Be realistic......
Remember what this guy told you earlier---------> "The light might be adaquate, but I cannot see the plant thriving. First of all, aluminum will burn your plants, especially in such tight quarters. 6 in by 6 in is just not enough room for the plant and ventilation. It will not be a success.

It's great that you want to start growing but don't set yourself up for failure......

you could also build a box or just use a frigerator box type size or try to keep a small bush ..in half the size ..

Don't waste ur time with such a small space. Explore other "stealth" options. Dummy dresser is a good one.

I disagree. He can learn from the experience, but that is about it.
