I have put together a basic stealth style grow box out of an old speaker cabinet to grow some of the clone seeds I've accumulated. this is my first box and its coming together pretty nicely, I'm just trying to decide the best grow strategy and want to see if anyone else has had good luck doing this and hear some outcomes. the box is boston acoustics liquid cooled speaker box with the pop off vinyl cover (great concealment) it measures 27'' tall, 15'' wide, 11'' deep. lined with reflective material and has airflow system. the lighting i am using is as follows:
(4) 120v CFL lamps
(2) 120v clear A15 bulbs
(2)118v fluorescent lamps
Its going to be tight but i think it will work. as far as plants go, i was planning to use a 12x10 rubbermaid style storage bin with added drain holes. i was thinking of trying for 2 plants in the bin, but i am worried about space and temperature. i have seen someone flower a 50 gram yields from 4 plants in the same style bin i will be using, he had basically the same setup as mine too. i have also seen name brand boxes of the same general size advertising space for 6 plants, but I'm not too convinced. So, if i were to flower in this box, what could i generally expect for yields per plant? and how many plants could i possibly fit without overcrowding? thanks in advance

I suggest you post in the grow room/room design section.
Also photos are very helpful! Good luck :D

I have put together a basic stealth style grow box out of an old speaker cabinet to grow some of the clone seeds I've accumulated. it'd be nice to have something separate from my regular setup, this is my first homemade box and its coming together pretty nicely, I'm just trying to decide the best grow strategy and want to see if anyone else has had good luck doing this and hear some outcomes. the box is boston acoustics liquid cooled speaker box with the pop off vinyl cover (great concealment) it measures 27'' tall, 15'' wide, 11'' deep. lined with reflective material and has 2 computer fans as a ventilation system. the lighting i am using is as follows:
(4) 120v CFL lamps for veg
(2) 120v clear A15 bulbs
(2)118v fluorescent lamps
Its going to be tight but i think it will work. as far as plants go, i was planning to use a 12x10 rubbermaid style storage bin with added drain holes, and miracle grow potting mix with some added bat guano. nothing special... i was thinking of trying for 2 plants in the bin, but i am worried about space and temperature. i have seen someone flower a 50 gram yields from 4 plants in the same style bin i will be using, he had basically the same setup as mine too. So, if i were to flower in this box, what could i generally expect to handle for yields per plant without overcrowding? and would i be safe trying for two plants, or wold it be too crowded? i mean i could always move one of the plants into my regular setup if i had to, id just some opinions/photos...willl get some pics up asap... thanks in advance!
 
In that space you will want about 100-150w of light and can either do 1 plant or up to 4 little lollipops.
