building my seed starting/veg box

[hammertime]

Well finally im gonna set up a cabinet similar to a c13 cab like people on the OG used to grow with. First step though is to build a small box to start seeds and to begin the veg process before i move into the larger cabinet.

The box i found and want to use since is small it would be easy to make it light proof. I can start a couple female seeds easy bud seeds in here, and get them healthy before i move them under 400 watt hps. the measurements are 30in hieght 19inch deep 30 inches wide. plastic cabinet.

what type of light should i put inside, i was thinking maybee 3 cfl spiral bulbs but im not sure the watts to use. if someone could help me with what light to use inside this little veg box let me know.

Those 26-watt bulbs from WalMart work well, cost-effective, get the 6500k ones. I'd use like four of those.

I have a cab with simular if not the same dementions and have used 6X23W 6500K CFL's on a 2X4 board. It worked fine and the plants get tite nodes and internodle branches. I think that I have fit up to15 plants from seed up to 3 weeks, and right now I have 9 6 in rooted clones and 12 seedlings and a mother crammed in there.

hell yeah. ill get some of those cfl's and see if i can get some of the seeds growing.

nice job getting all those plants in such a small space bluebear. im trying to create small but effective grow spaces because i dont want anyone catching wind of what im doing. i only want to chief down on some sweet sweet personal home grown buds. i cant wait to try and grow this easy bud by female seeds

Hmm, I have herd some nice things about that strain. I like to keep plants compact when I have the time to do the things that help, but some times they get bigger than I like. Any questions just ask.
