    I'm a first time grower and have converted an old wardrobe into a growbox. Im using 17 CFL lights ranging from 15w-48w and am currently on a vegging cycle. These plants are about 2-3 months old and are currently on a 12/12 lighting cycle. I have 2 15cm fans (one as in take and one providing airflow in the box) and one computer fan which im using for out take.
    Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated as im always looking for ways to improve my growing methods.

    cheers :D

  2. Do you plan on using a screen or raising the lights?
     
  3. raising the lights thay are looking good and mean
     
  4. You may need to study up on light reflectivity and ventilation, 17 cfls? whats your lm/watt ratio? you may be better of with T5's or even LED, as you have not mentioned the size of your grow room/space not many here will be able to calculate the range of possibilities
