Hello, I am a first time grower, but have helped a former roomate with a pretty state-of-the-art set up(clones, MH veg, HPS bloom, organic, F1 strains). I have a pretty good foundation of knowledge when it comes to cannabis cultivation, and my desire to grow my own plants peaked when I moved out and was no longer able to work in the roomates garden(sigh). I decided to work on a little expiriment. I now live in an apt and I know, I know, "never grom in an apt", but fuck it I decided to ignore this advice anyway and give it a try. I have to keep this little expirement of my extra covert because even my girlfriend who lives with me has no idea(and would kill me). What I did was take a carboard box about 2 1/2 feet tall and about a square food at the base, covered the inside with white photocopy paper to reflect light, mounted a couple cfl's to the top and voila', my first grow room. What I am concerned about is ventilation. I cut inlet and outlet holes at the bottom and top, respectively, but I don't know if a small fan is even necessary for such a small area. I only have two seedlings at the moment, so i dont think ill need to worry about it for a little while, but i want to get the most out of them so any advice on ventilation would be appreciated. Also, if I start a 12/12 photoperiod at when the plants reach six inches, are they going to outgrow the box? I plan on topping them, but im still worried about space...
