Whats up RIU'ers, this is going to be my first attempt at a indoor growbox, any idea's critisizims or compliments are welcome. I ended up building a 3'lx3'wx4'h box out of 2x4's and 3/8" plywood, i bought a 200 Watt Sunblaster CFL this one has 6500kelvin i plan on buying the 2700kelvin later when its time to flower. I also plan on buying to 4" inline duct fans putting one on the roof with a carbon filter and one on the bottom side of the wall for cold air intake, also a 4" oscilating fan for wind. i really have no idea on how many plants i could grow in this thing, i set out 3x3x4 wasnt going to be so huge, but i was amazed at how big it actually is. let me know what you guys think honest opions tips etc, all are welcome, ill probably start a grow journal to

Nice, you're going to love that light! I use a 250 watt 2700K cfl for flowering and its pretty impressive. My setup is almost identical to yours except Im using party cups its in a stealth cab. You're definately going to want to make the most out of that light so paint the walls white or put up some mylar. Also keep that light nice and close to the plants and they will grow very nicely. Good luck!

Right on bro. i was thinking about painting it flat white, but im also thinking mylar would be cheaper and easier, yet i have no idea where to get it
 
looks like a decent grow space to me. id say 3 plants would fit in there. flower early, or start 12/12 from/shortly after seed cracks the soil, or invest in a low ryder or easy ryder strain
 
Remember, when growing in a box it's gonna get stuffy in there. Definitely use a temp. and humidity gauge, and if you can get it with a remote sensor so you can always keep your eye on the environment w/out having to look inside.

Well i do actually have a temp/humidity guage, it's analog, i didnt feel like spending a whole lot of money on something like a gauge. The box is in my cellar where the temp is like 12*C and 85% humdity, i hope i can control it in the box with fans and the heat from the light, any tips on this
