Will this box work for a single plant? Please Help!

[JEFFAR420]

1) Alright the dimensions are in the pics and i was just wondering wether or not this is big enough for a one plant grow up. Ill be takin the shleves out and putting on a door if so.

2) Is this fan useful, or is it too powerful for such a small area. Could I use it to push the air out somehow?

3) How many CFL lights/watts would I need for Veg/Flowering. Iv been reading all day but havent found any ones grow like mine

ANY tips of where i should place lights, vents, pots etc... would help me SO much

im not using CFL's but my box is the same exact size using a 150watt hps so CFL's will not be a problem in that box at all.

make the fan a exhaust that is most important you may want to add a intake as well and you will also need a small fan inside for stem strength other than that read up and read some more.

heres a pic of her 2 weeks from finish

sure that box can support a plant... just go get sum cfl's and rig em up with shop reflectors.. use that fan on the top of one of the sides for an active exhaust and cut another hole towards the bottom and have urself a passive intake.. and ur all set just add the plant...

Thanks for the awsome and quick replies

How would i go about putting that fan in one of the top sides, I kno i gotta cut a hole but does it connect to some kind of tube and into a carbon filter or is that just for keeping the smell out.

Secondly, how many CFL's will i need cause do i not need a certain amount of K's (watts, k's or what ever it is) for vegging/flowering? Also the damn lights go into specifics like daytime, whites and what not..

Thanks so much for the help!

[notorious P.O.T]

it only has to be connected to tubing and a carbon filter to de-odorize it.. but if odor is no issue no tube is needed but you will need to correct the light leak somehow.. so im guessing tubing is ur best bet..

lights- well your area is roughly a square foot.. so about 2 or 3 30 watt daylight cfl's for veg.. which is like 4000-6000 lumens.. running @ 6500 k
(WALMART)
and 2 or 3 42 watt soft or warm cfl's for flowering.. runninng @ 2700 k
(Also WALMART) just read the packages of the bulbs it should say it on them...

Alright thank you soooooooo much, thats all i needed to know for now

If anyone has something to add, Im still open for everyones opinion

yes do not use anything miracle grow....ever

by a all organic soil with nothing at all added to it you will be giving her nutes later in the grow this helps greatly to control how she does.

I just installed a tube into the bottom of the cabinent for air to flow into and was wondering if it will go in on its own or if i should be having a fan put somewhere inside/outside ..

What is everyones input on this, I have another tube like this one if i should be putting 2 of them in.

As you can see I have hinged a new door on aswell. Its not fully light proof but Im doing this one step at a time

ANY comments would be appreciated Thanks

Does anyone have anything to say?

how would i go about putting that fan in, should it be right up to the side where i cut my hole, or should i place it abit further away from the hole so it pushes the air into the hole/tube for my exhaust

And from my previous post, will air flow into the bottom tube or Is it a must to have a fan blowing from the inside/outside of the box?
