My Grow...in a Sterilite box

[soccergal]

Ok...I have a thread going in indoor growing. But I haven't really had any responses as of yet to my proposed set up. It looks like the picture below.

This is not a very tall box, about 16inches tall. However, my intention is to stack another box on top of that once the plant reaches the constraints of this box. At which point I will be adding 2 more CFLs to the sides to make 3 on each side. And will either switch the top 3 CFLs for Warm spectrum CFLs, or if I have enough money, incorporate a 250W HPS.

What do you think?

I will be LSTing as well. Do you think I should add some small 27W CFL's to the other two sides of the box? During the flowering stage?

looks like a fine setup so far.. but what about exhaust and intake... and what are the demensions to that box?/ that will be the deciding factor.. if you need more light or not...

Small...lol, one box is 25 1/2"L x 17 1/2"W x 15 3/8"H

But...like I said, I'll be adding another box when my plant is a bit bigger.

Ventilation. You need ventalation otherwise you shouldn't bother growing. The CO2 will be used up quickly inside that box not to mention the heat.

Ok, heat shouldn't be too much of a problem during veg cause I'm using CFL's.
What would be the best way for me to increase circulation? I thought about a bathroom type fan but am not sure how one would be installed.

Correction that was Mobay and it was in the FAQ's. He suggested a

50cfm bathroom exhaust fan

What do you think? Easy to install?

Something like this maybe?
