Is my grow box legit?

Hi been thinking about growing for awhile now. Just built my first grow box. It has an intake and outtake fan with two small 100 watt fluorescent light bulbs. I spray painted the inside completely white for reflection and coated the bottom in aluminum coating to help with reflecting for the bottom leaves. I was planning on doing two small hempy buckets in here. My question is is there anything I'm forgetting or do you think there are any flaws with this setup?:joint:

carbon filter? unless you just dont care...

and maybe rotate the tubs so the intake and exhaust are on opposite sides to create a cross draft?

those big holes will let in light and possibly disturb their lighting cycle unless its in a closet or thing along those lines...

its pretty sort also...

Yeah I know the photos are the best I could do at the time. I know its a short set I was planning on trying the lst method to keep them short maybe even scrog? I would eventually like to make a bigger box whenever I can find the room unfortunately this is all I can get away with for now. Ive been thinking of investing in a carbon filter but the guy at the hydro store has been telling me that this clearish gel should work fine has anybody heard of that? I might now worry about it for a little while atleast cause my room stays pretty dank smelling anyways. I haven't started a grow yet and I obviously have a little bit more homework to do but I got the box ready. I thought about the fans letting light in during flowering. I'm not sure what exactly I could do to fix this someone was telling me that they should be fine though because even outside theres moonlight whenever there isn't any sunlight. I'm not to sure how much truth there is to that, but any input would be appreciated, I've also wondering if there is anything that would work good as an extension in the middle because I could get away with it being a little taller. :joint:

What i would do... this is just me though... I would go get some 2x2's partical board/plywood, some nails or screws and some flat white paint and a tube or 2 of kitchen/bath caulking, make a frame to your desired size and build a sealed box. it looks like you have the right idea though. got any questions send a message =)
