Hey I started a grow box in a 18x18x24 space its. My 1st grow my plants are 1 week old and look grate now I have it set up like this - in side the 18 x 18 x 24 I have one 26w cfl bulb and the walls are all aluminum foil and I have a fan keeping the cfl bulb cool and air flowing nicely not blowing on plants .

Looking for more help and advice in my grow box what bulbs should I use ect this is my only space so. Anything would help with my grow !

Yes, you can.

Make sure you keep it cool though. As for the white paper and foil, no go. If you are set on reflection which is always good, use either flat white paint or mylar. You can pick up mylar and basspro or something like it. All mylar is, is thermal blanket. As for cfls. I started my first grow with 6, 26watt cfls, 3 were 3600k and the others were 6500k. The 3600k are good for flowering and the 6500k are daylight bulbs, they are good for veg and flowering. Keep them as close as you can to your plants unless you want them to stretch.

Good luck..
