Wow, this is crazy it looks a lot like a box I just built for my buddy. I has the same lights I love em. They worked so far for veg like a charm, His actually grey way faster than mine that were under real lights. We are going to flower tommrow and try to put some more lights in. I want there to be enough light for flower to make good size hard nugs (good as possible) pm me and maybe I can get pics of it and help u out a little. Way to go!

Do a forum search for details, but the basic idea with the fans is to wire them to ~12 volt ac/dc adapters. Wall warts. You probably have a million of them from old cell phone chargers, answering machines, cordless phones, modems, and other small electronics.

Or you can try and short the mobo pins on a PC supply to make it run and then use the fan/molex connectors. Although, don't do that if you're not already very familiar with PC components. A PC power supply can be dangerous. Using wall warts is usually much cleaner, anyway.

So far as the type of lights go, you'll need to figure out what kind of tubes they are and tell us. But I can tell you this already: you will need more.

...............What are you asking then? I mean you dont have to shit pantie wads when someone gives you advice when you show them what looks to be a fish tank at a garage sell. See my point? Maybe more pictures like the space its gonna happen in? Spending wise how much you working with and what can be bought? Help us help you buddy.

You are going to need alot more light you got enough light for seedlings maybe could prolly grow with just those but wouldnt be worth it.
