36 inches tall enough for grow box?

I want to construct a grow box that is 32wX27dX36h, is this large enough to grow 3 ounces dried? I will be doing LST, or SCROG if i must. My growing medium is organic soil with home made teas and foliage sprays. Thanks for the input.

It all depends on what kind of light your using. If your using a HPS then your plants have to be at least 18 inches from the bulb, which means your plants will only be about 12 inches high or less.
If your blooming under T5 fluorescents then your light can be an inch away from the leaves, and your plants can be as tall as 24 to 30 inches.
I would build a 5 foot tall by 3 foot by 3 foot box. This will give you enough room to grow 4 plants with no problems. With the one your thinking of building you might be able to get away with growing 2 plants that will look like twigs in the end.

go more on hight, watch temp!!!

i had 2x2x4 box with 400w hps, one plant, prolly would have gotten 3 oz, but my vent system failed in wk 5 of flower and light baked plant to a crisp in 1 hour.

live and learn

i had a box 36x36x18 with 13 plants 400w hps in soil and got 3.3oz
