My box stays at just about 77degrees as well, interesting. What are the dimensions of your box smppro?Im only running 138 watts cfl about 30 watts per square foot

Click to expand...

24inX18inX32in
4-42w cfls sorry 168w
5-42 = 210 will get to 80 with that setup

what do you grow in your box and how many? Sorry for so many questions im just curious.

I have grow 2 larger and LSTd them with good results. Right now im trying 6 and they are turning out nicely. Im about to start another with 12, small clones with no veg, hope to get a single cola sea of green. I have 3 of these boxes

What is your average yield per box??

2-3oz so far, looking for 4, hoping to get that with the sog

could i some how do a sea of green with autoflowering plants to keep them low?
27"x26"x48" and i just installed an extra 80 watts 1350 lumens

Autoflowering should stay small anyways, but 4ft is plenty of room.

Yeah, 4ft is plenty tall, I'd veg them for 3 weeks then flower. But 2 sq feet footprint isn't that large, you might want to supplement light on the sides as well as the top... Idk, such a small area, I have no experience outside growing in a full bedroom, or 10ft x 10ft space...

Can't help anymore, no knowledge of CFL growing.

i use a window ac unit to bring in fresh co2 to my plants along with an ozone generator for smell control and a window fan taking air out along with an oscillating fan to move around the ozone and co2

Ozone is bad for your plants.

Well the box is 4 feet tall but i only have about 19 inches when the pots are in and the lights are risen as high as they go.

What are your pots 29 inches tall?


Perfectionist---

Along with the ozone being bad... I also wanted to add that the window a/c isn't brining any fresh air into the room, it just recirculates the air from the room. The condensor is outside on the back of the unit, it doesn't suck in air from outside. The unit sucks air from the front, inside, there's probably a filter, and blows out the top.

The fan removing air from the room is the only thing ambiently bring air into the room through passive intakes.

You most likely have a surplus of o3 and o2, unless you're enriching with co2.

Might wanna look into that.

I have two large duct holes cut into the bottom front of the box and the about 30 one inch holes cut into the plant tray so that the fan can pull frsh air in. And as far as im concerned it pulls in quite alot of fresh air because when i smoke by it i can see the vents suck the smoke through.

Should be good then man...
