I am building a (2 feet and 4 inches tall, 2.4) by (1 foot and four inches wide, 1.4) old speaker box that i modded to be a grow box

Soon i will put mylar on every side except the door (if it should have Mylar on it also, please tell me!)


I will put 1 of these lights on the left and right sides for vegging: http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/1598/FC30-FEIIS30W65.html
And these for flowering: http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/1599/FC30-FEIIS30W27.html


Should this be enough lumens to grow 1 plant? it claims it has 2000 initial lumens on both bulbs, and ive heard you only need 2500 for a small enclosed space so 4000 lumens with two bulbs for each stage would work great in theory.

Does anyone agree with me or see any flaws?

Couple things u could do like 4 lights in there if u cut a hole for air in and air out with a fan. Also yes mylar the door. Search LST on RIU u can get more bang for your buck. Also search speakerbox. Also click cfls growing right next to the indoor growing tab. And READ READ READ ppl have done this type of grow and have journals up just read them!

Thats cool, make sure it fits the common household socket, i bought a big one from home depot turned out to fit some weird socket. Go to home depot and look at the hid bulbs theres a 300w cfl hiding in them that fits and its 2700K good for flowering
