    Im trying to grow my plants in a box for the first month then moving outside, would 2 or 3 100 watt lamps work. If not what should i buy that can fit in a 3x3 foot box and where

    1st do some reading, stickies and grow journals. 2nd go get some 6500k cfl's, as many as you can afford and get to work with them. vegging a plant indoors and then moving them outside is a great way to give them a head start. but when you move them outside you'll want to put them in the sun a few times a day for a couple hours each time to acclimate them to the intense sunlight.

    Lets go one step further, here are the types of lights that will work in order of there effectiveness IMO:
    reg flouro tubes
    CFL mini bulbs
    CFL grow lights
    T5 flouro
    HID - HPS/MH

    I skipped Mercury Vapor because it's cost vs effectiveness makes it a poor light.
    LEDs - new technoolgy very expensive initial cost very inexpensive running.

    I would look strongly into HID lighting!!
