My first Grow. 1 tomato and 2 amnesia haze(LED)

[northernvagrows]

i'll be making a grow in a cardboard box this week and will have plants hopefully in the soil by Wednesday.
Please don't tell me about fire hazards, because im using leds which don't produce much heat. I mean they do.......but they have a big ass heatsink+fan, so I guess its okay. Im using a high power 50w led(about 3000lm).I will have 2 fans working as a carbon filter pushing out, and 1 fan as an intake, and the last fan just blowing air in the middle to make wind. The heatsink fan will also be making wind. Im gonna put the fans so that its like a pc, intakes in the front bottom and outakes in the top of the side or back. that way it naturally lets the air touch all parts of the box. I plan on insulating the inside with aluminum foil. But, ill make it straight so that theirs no wrinkles which means no hot spots right?I also plan on putting mylar on as many walls as I can but, I have limited material so whatever. i'll post more pics tomorrow. Today I was able to get the basic structure setup.

Does anyone else have experience with growing under led chips, or in cardboard boxes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, my box is about 2 ft wide, 2ft depth, and about 3ft height. I will have either 1 tomato and 1 haze or 1 tomoato and 2 haze. Can you tell me an expected yield or if it will be enough space.
Thanks, as soon as I get my box finished, ill turn this into a grow journal.
Heres some pics of the basic structure in the attachments

also, im gonna put duct tape on the door so that it kinda makes an air-tight seal. Any ideas of what else I could do for that?

so here are some pics of the insulated inside and part of my outtake system.
So far, ive got the dull side of foil all over 95% of the inside, and will plan to add in a bottom for the box.
Im gonna take a windshield cover made of mylar and use it as a shield around the plants or over the light.
In the first pic, the top right corner Is my fan, and the bottom left is the door.
photo 2, as you can see, its all insulated, and I have a power strip and in the top right corner is the outtake fan.(I used a small pringles container and will soon attach another fan to the other end and fill it with activated carbon.).The last few pics are of my light. There is now heatsink on it yet, but I ordered one off ebay. Its so bright, it blinded me and my camera!lol

I cant make any accounts. I just went on walmart.com and ordered a 50 dollar prepaid mastercard right now, paid with paypal.

My supplier is in the Netherlands, so visa wont work, but im pretty sure mastercard said its worldwide.

But the Wal-mart cards don't work in the Netherlands...been there tried that...they are red flagged...Western Union was the only card I could find that would work for seed orders over seas

its not walmart brand. Its just a mastercard prepaid gift card. It says, it can be used worldwide with the millions of stores that accept mastercard debit. I think it should work. and if it doesn't, ill find another seed bank, possibly in the us. or just use bag seed.. Thanks.

Ill post an update tomorrow. I hope to have my carbon filter done my then.

thanks, guys. I will receive the card in a few days, then the seeds about 10 days after that. So a total of around 15 days.......Not that bad.
