Rubbermaid Flowering Box

I used a 30 gallon rubbermaid box, 6 23 watt 2700k cfl's and a 12 volt computer fan for air flow.
I plan to add a filter on the outside of the fan. I should have some plants to put in it in about a week or so.

you should be using 2700kelvin for flowering or HPS.

yeah thats what they are 23 watt 2700k.
you can tell in the pic there soft white...

are you planning on putting a top on it or leaving it open?

I think the top was off to show us the inside.......

Have you checked the airflow and temperatures yet? I've got a similar setup, using five 26w bulbs. I have a 120mm PC fan for exhaust, and two 3in intakes, one is passive, one has an 80mm PC fan on it. I also have a 10in fan in the middle for circulation. With my A/C on and my room at 70 degres, the box stays at about 75, and creeps to 84 after 1 1/2 hours with the A/C off.

I think you're gonna need more fresh air coming in, and I don't think all those little holes will be enough. However, your box is half the size of mine, so maybe you don't need as much air moving around. Anyways, it looks clean and I like all the Rubbermaid grows goin on. Good luck.

I plan to keep the top on. I want to add another fan where the intake holes are. I havent checked the temps but it gets pretty warm on the outside im probably going to keep it on at nights and off during the day doing a 12/12 cycle. I was thinkin about adding another splitter and adding two more lights.

I made some adjustments and now i have some plants flowering.
Im only using half of the box now because it gets too hot.
I plan to use all of it in the fall.

I started it with two 25 watt cfls in my pc box

How long do you plan to flower her for?

9-10 weeks whenever the trichs are half and half.

Whatever happened with this? Bueller?
