Help me with my grow please?

[oldpeople]

Hello everyone! i just started my first grow and i greedely want it to be perfect so i'm hoping for some feedback from ppl who kno stuff. so if its not too much trouble help me out a bit please?
I'm growing one plant it has been topped alrdy and i plan to do lst soon and scrog a bit later. here we go:
My box is 2 feet and 4 inch high/2 feet and 3 inch wide and 13 inches deep. its covered in aluminium foil to reflect stuff.
For lights i plan to use 3 or 4 cfl 26 watt cool 6500k for veg and warm 2700k for flowering. Should i mix it up maby hav 3 cool and 1 warm durning veg and 3 warm 1 cool durning flowering for better yield? Or no point? should i get 6 bulbs instead of 4? will i get more yield?
Right now im using 2 15 watt cool and one 26 watt warm cfl. I planned on changint it as soon as i can but im not really in a hurry. should i rush because 2 15 watt cool and one 26 watt warm cfl are a bad idea even for a week?
the plant was outside for about 3 weeks or so before i put it in a box.
i plan to make 2 holes 1 on top for air to come out and 1 on bottom for air to come in and hav a computer fan at the top hole to make air leave faster and fresh air come in. how much of an odor problem would i have? its one plant but i'm hoping to make a scrog screen 27 by 13 inches(whole box) and fill it fully with bud sites and eventually with buds. is this possible? i dont see why not but im newb so maby not?? so how much would it smell and whats a good idea to stop the smell? maby put a small home made carbon filter between the fan and the hole? also if there are holes in the box for air intake/outtake the light would shine thru them and thats not good. is there away to manage this?
i was hoping to get around 2 oz from this one plant, but its my first grow so anything will do and hopefully ill learn atleast if i dont get a nice amount. whats a realistic amount i could get?
I plan to hav a pot about 6 inch, 8 inches above the pot is the screen so under the screen the plant is 8 inches, so i hav about 14 inches for the budsicles above the screen and the light. sence its cfls they are about 6 inches long so 14-6=8 inches for above the screen. the space between the cfls and the bud/plant is gona be like 1 inch or 2 cm( my box is alittle over 28 inches almost 29 so it fits). Is that alright? should i hav a bigger pot? or maby less space between the pot and the screen? maby i need more space above the screen for buds??
Theese are basically most of the questions i have. any help is greatly appriciated

Mate! You're going to want more room and more light power if you want this to be successful. What you have created is awesome for the grow cycle but when it buds there wont be sufficient room or light for it to bloom properly.

Hey thier
For your lights not to sure witch combination wld be better
I think your clf wld be ok for a short time have seen people use them in small grows b4 but the better the light the better the bud
As for the holes u dont want light to get into your box whilst the ladies are sleeping
and as for the smell if u trying to hide it from some one in your house then u really need some good odor control these ladies are damm stink during flowering
let just say without it thiers no way some one in your house wont kno
hope this helps @ all Good luck on ya grow

but why, isnt 4-6 cfl enuff? and why not enough space? the screen would be filled by one plant and it would bud, i dont get what do u mean by not enought space? not enough hight? be more specific please? also is there something wrong with flowering with CFLs? 26 watt x6 156 watts isnt good enough to flower one plant? im confused
if you could suggest some ways to odor control i would really appriciate it.
thanx for the help guys

Hey man with my first grow i done the same thing but you might need another another bit of vertical room my box was 3' 4"H 2'6"W 1'5"D and I had 1 plant in a 2 gallon pot topped and trained i only 6 20watt cfl's all 2700k spec and yielded about 20 gram but i lost a few grams to budrot and taking some to early so there might have been an OZ there! The only thing i would say is get mylar instead of aluminium foil it isnt that good of a reflective matirial and you want to reflect as much as possible when using cfl's!

give it a try mate and see what your results are. I'm using a 400w hps/mh in a cupboard thats 4ft W x 2ft D x 5ft H. I have 6 plants in there atm which is bloody stupid. Its best with 2 but I still struggle for room. I dont think 156w is powerful enough to bud your plant properly

I use a 400w phillips hps/mh son-t-agro light. It produces a lot of heat. Doesnt make much difference on the power bill only bout $20. When I first built my grow cupboard I only had 1 outlet fan sucker air out and pulling it threw vents on the sides. I put a thermometer in it and when the light was runnings it was hitting 47c. So i used a bathroom fan as an intake fan and it dropped to 34c. I now have a third fan mounted to the wall of my cupboard blowing at the light and now the temp is a constant 28c.

I suppose you could use 8 cfls. I used cfl's once before. I had 10 each 20w. It grew really well.
