space wise its 80 lumens per watt i think and you need about 2000 lumens per sqft if i member right lol

you can work that out am lazy and also yes it would be a good i dea to have some ventaltion just use some computer fans there cheap and effect for a grow box and lighting schedule leave it on for 24/7 for liek the first 2 weeks and then about 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering i think if you want to you can leave the lighting for 24/7 all the way through veg i dont know someone will tell you lol

good luck man

i'm not sure leaving the lights on 24/7 during the veg stage is healthy for the plant, but overall thats some really good information blaze_420!

edit: what strains are you growing?

25sqft so somthing like 5ft by 5ft may be a bit smaller erm height around about 3ft-4ft i think should do it
