i was wondering if i have enough light to grow one good weed plant in this grow box i just built.

i gutted an old speaker, its about 2 ft tall, a foot wide, and a foot deep.

the lights i have are: a 2 foot florescent tube (20 watt t10 grow light from walmart) vertical on the back wall, a 23 wat cfl, an 18 watt cfl, and a 7 wat cfl.

also the entire box is painted pure white.

im planing on useing soil.


will i be able to get a plant and any bud?

I would suggest that you put All of those lights in the box, burn them for a day, then take the temperature inside the box to see how hot it gets.
Tell us then too.

Enough? There is a bare minimum to keep a plant alive and there is AMPLE. You have enough..not ample, but enough.

If you have a box that size, don't mess around with half a dozen different bulbs. Go and grab yourself a couple of 150Watt CFL's from Home Depot. They will be all you need. Putting a fan in there is a great idea, on the lowest setting you can get.
