Cool cupboard:thumbsup:
-What are the Dimensions?
I used a 70w HPS for a 1x1x2' mini box grow.
random bagseed was hard to grow(height issues every time), but autos did well.

Imo you'll need to add legs, remove the bottom of the unit so you can increase the height when they become taller then exspected as they do.

How much do you expect to grow in that small of a space? Looks big enough for one small plant but you won't yeild much.

Thats just under 3-1/2 sqft, so around 16,625 Lumens optimal flowering growth
-150w puts out around 15,800L / 200w around 22,000L
I agree, One plant for its first grow.
-Try to find something to grow in that is low height, but takes up the majority of the floor.
Im thinkin youll lose 3" to 4" from the light+cooltube. Then try for maybe 5" to 6" in soil height. Optimistically 17"(+or-)1" of grow height.
Are the seeds reg. or fem.?

I would plant it in one corner then train it to stretch across the full diagnol length of the box or after it gets about 24" high lay it on its side so it will grow like a mini hedge and you'll have multiple tops. You may be able to produce a half dozen nice cola buds about 2 ft long each!

Take a pic of your setup and plants, so I can see how far along they are.
-Have you fed / what have you fed?

Telling me 3 weeks doesnt really help.. Why did you transplant to more soil when it was stunted/slow growing?
-I wouldnt go out-in-out-in, youll bring bugs inside.
-Whatever space you decide, try to follow the lumens per sqft rule and youll do fine.

na shes 3 weeks saturday on 5th set of leaves i keep her in a pot outdoors i put her in a bigger pot as the shop has only just got the right sized pots in shes not stunned/ just slow growing due to training a indoor plant as outdoor.
this setup is for a new grow once i move for my indoor widows

So what kind of seeds where these outside plants?
-I would say you could start full feeding next node, If you have already gone with a 1/2 str feed.

i gave her 1ml of miracle grow mixed with 500ml of water i have moved from 10ml water every 2-3days the first 10ml was Wednesday just to see what she will do and seems ok.
she was a indoor white widow training to be outdoor ans seems to be ok i want her to be a mother plant
the feed was a test thats why it was low feed.
