i plan on adjusting the light shelf and adding lights as needed. Thinking I might need 4 more fans just to have cool airflow and a 4 pack of them is only 18 dollars at the store. Gonna be growing some chrystal and widow widow.:rasta:

so any comments or advice before i make the holes in cab?

[Pass That Shit]

What are the temps like outside the box? Do you really need that many fans for CFL?

[Boostin GST]

the temps around 78-80 or so. i have the ac on at the temp. i would think thats enough but was trying to get opinions. so what do you think of everything else also? looks like an ok plan? any changes i should make?

u might need some cfls at a higher k around 5-6000 for vegging, and use the 2k for flowering.

[Boostin GST]

those were the highest i found at walmart. i went to their website and looked at the model number and it said 2700 lumens on their website but only 2k in the packaging. lights of american 42w bulb.

there are also 30 watt twister bulbs by lights of america in the blu-ish package (not the yellow) they say "sunlight bulb" on them, they run at 6500 K i got mine at wall mart.. good luck..

i cant find it on their website. i saw a twister bulb 32w and the lumens was 2050.

6500 sounds nice for a 30w. ill take a look at it at walmart but i think this was the second largest lumens bulb i saw there. the largest was a 2700 for like 10 dollars

[notorious P.O.T]

lol i couldnt find it on there just now either.. but this is what my package looks like and its 6500 k it says it on the back.. hope this helps.

2000lumens...light output. 6500k color temperature.

[Boostin GST]

so color temperature is the focus point? this is my first time grow so im still learning the basics.

Cannabis grows in basically two stages: the vegetative stage when the plants don't need as much light and the light should be a cooler color (or a higher Kelvin number, e.g. 6500K), and the flowering stage when the plants need much more light and the light should be a warmer color (a lower Kelvin temperature, e.g. 2700K).

Cab looks good. Should be able to fit one plant in there, maybe two. Don't let the temps in the cab go beyond 85 degrees F if you can help it. If your AC unit sucks all the moisture out of the air (mine does), then you can put some containers of water in the cab to add moisture to the air, and just keep the containers filled with water -- that's a poor man's humidifier, but it works to some degree.
