need help with grow box design

ok well this is my grow box, i have included 12 pictures to show hopefully every corner of my box. mostly what i need help with is first of all, i just want to know what you guys think, i know its pretty primative, and that im not going to be able to grow that big, but if it works then thats all i care about. so first of all, if you guys could answer these questions that would be great.

do i have adequate lights? (i have 3 26 watt cfls)

i have almost no air flow in the box, (only air coming in or out is coming from the holes where the 2 corner lights are wired through) but if i open it up a few times a day or so will i be ok?

is there enough room?

the soil im using is .64-.20-.10 i think, is that bad?



any comments, questions, or tips would be very much appreciated.

thats kool man,but no theres not gunna be enough room when they get tall,it'll happen in like 4-5 weeks,so be aware. lol

well cant i grow some short plants? like 1.5 feet tall or less? i mean wont that work?

i was wandrin if anyone had any tips on grwing a plant in a crate

u could grow small plants but remember, once u start flowering ur plants are still gonna grow, probably double the size, maybe even triple so id think about that an when u wanna put them into flower.

also u can try LTS which ive seen a few ppl do with success.

Yeah in that space your gonna have to try LST, (look it up if you don't know what it is) or try growing lowryders. Many people don't like them but some of the new ones are suppost to be very good. #2, Dieselryder. Most only grow 12" - 14".

Your gonna want some more lights. Your plant looks a little curled which is probably due to the heat so a better lamp (if your going with CFLs I'd choose envirolite) would be better as they run cooler and would provide more light. As for ventilation, your plants NEED ventilation to respire, you will need some form of fan. I'd try getting a computer fan and place it into the wall of your box so that it is constantly exchanging air. I would also put a small fan inside the box to help combat bud rot, make the stems a little more tough and keep the area from getting too hot. I would also buy a humidity meter as well if you don't have one because the humidity will be high in that small space!
Good luck!

Oooh yeah I've just thought. You will also need to think about the smell. It is all very well having a nice stealth box but if the whole room stinks of weed then people might think somethings up! Lol.

also switch lights to 12/12 when your plants are about 1/4 the total height of your box, and i can tell from the pics, your gonna hate that fucking soil

prepare to be sorely disappointed with that setup
