You could use 2 of these fixtures. I've only recently gone to starting seeds and clones with a 3x3 tent, though much taller than your box. I grow outdoors. I bought a 12 lamp fixture from the same seller, but it's no longer available. Keep checking, he get's restocked regularly. It's just my contribution, I'm no expert on indoor growing, but for what I want, it works.

Hello I saw a couple of your posts and had a question for you if you don't mind?
I'm in the planning phases of starting a grow and purchased this well because it was easier for me then trying to buy everything separate

http://growershouse.com/cfl-veg-3-x-3-fluorescent-250w-grow-package

In the description of it
It says you can veg around 9 plants but seems like too many to me I was hoping to veg 4 in there at max with maybe a clone or 2 also im trying to figure out how to start a thread on here as well

If you're addressing me, I think that grow package is a good deal. If you want to take the plants to harvest, I think 4 would be the max. in a 3X3 tent. If you just want to start seeds and get them growing for outdoors, you could do more. Right now I'm trying to clone to determine sex for one variety.
To start a thread, look to just under the search box, top right.

Ok thanks alot for responding I'm just trying to learn lol

Keep in mind that the recommended minimum of wattage to square feet is 30 and more is better. That's to take the plant to harvest. At least, that's what I've read, I haven't tried to take a plant to harvest yet with the setup I have. Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Growers Handbook is good. I've got all the popular books because I'm always eager to learn, even at my advanced age. I reference Marijuana Garden Saver by J.C. Stitch a lot. The books are a lot easier to reference than asking questions and waiting for replies for me. I do come here for ideas and other opinions, though.

For around 100 dollars you can get a300 watt mars hydro LED light complete, this would rock your 3x3 and stay nice and cool,

 

[thattimeofyear4]

Hmmm really what about for when it's time to flower would that work also or were you suggesting as supplemental lighting

 

[Tim Fox]

The Mars hydro light, does veg and flower, all the commercial led grow light are complete spectrum, the led will cover your whole tent

 

[thattimeofyear4]

Interesting guess it wouldn't hurt to keep it in there lol

 

[Tim Fox]

Not at all, Google Mars hydro led, before you drop boat loads on cfl bulbs, I am now part of a group of people who now build Cree cobs diy led her e on riu, but several of us started and still use our mars hydro light, I have build on here, where I use a mixture of mars and cobs now, and there are whole threads on nothing but the Mars lights, I like the 300 because it's price point o is low, makes it easy for cfl guys to make the jump to led for cheap

Ok thanks alot

 

[Tim Fox]

these are the factory mars guys, same people I bought mine thru

 

[thattimeofyear4]

Sweet thanks mines will be on the way soon I guess lol thanks alot for finding that

 

[thattimeofyear4]

Couldn't find any length and width info I'm wondering if I'm gonna be able to somehow get it in the tent along with the cfl I have as well

 

[Tim Fox]

if your going to use the large cfl along with an Led enclosure, you may have to take that bat wing off the cfl light and hang them side by side, its not a bad idea

 

[thattimeofyear4]

Ok thanks alot BTW and all this waiting for everything to come is driving me crazy lol

 

[Tim Fox]

its a trip for sure

 

[thattimeofyear4]
