well i mean as long as your box wouldnt get to crazy temps it shouldnt melt right?

and the wattage all depends on you. how many plants, the space how long you grow them how its dispersed so on and so forth.


1 watt = 66-69 lumens. plants will grow well roughly anywhere from 2000 all the way up (1000 watts can achieve ridiculously more), my ideal is around 4000 lumens, but i mean shit, i use a double 55 watt tek lamp with 10000 lumens on my two mothers and clones, and a 6 lamp 2' t5 with bloom spectrum bulbs for the flowers, which is about 12000 lumens total, the output is about 175 watts, dont know what its supposed to be....


with the size though, cfls should do the trick for ya.
