So I about as new as it gets to this growing thing, and I have to say its quite overwhelming, now i see why everyone isn't doing it. So I plan on growing the minimum which I found is usualy around 4 plants to increase the chances of a female. I would like to build my own box. Other than the box it self(wood, screws,some coating for the inside... all that) I plan on getting 1 600W HPS light w/ at least 45,000 lumens. I would like to use a hydro growing technique but it seems like its more costly than to just use soil.(which is one of my BIG FACTORS $$$$) I will cut a hole on the bottom of the side panel for air intake and another hole either on the top of the box or the top of the opposite side of the intake hole for the exhaust fan(any suggestions?...exhaust hole on top panel or the "top-opposite" side of the intake).

With this information I'm asking
Is my lighting plan sufficient enough for four plants in a 4x3 box.
And do I have a good intake/exhaust plan?


****And ANY other suggestions would be greatly appreciated****
I know nothing really..only what i have read here
I'm only looking to spend about 250-300 on this project
