New Bigger Stealthy Grow Box!! Questions

[antdog420ftp]

for the past three weeks I've been vegging in a PC grow box.
I got tired of the small cramps spaces. so I decided to build this the inside dimensions are2.4x1x2.
I got three computer fans in there two intakes blowing on lights and 1 out take out the bottom.
I plan on getting 3 more CFL's in there or how many more do you think I should put in there right now I got three???
its 98 percent lightproof have light traps over fan holes..
My questions are how many more CFLs should I add?
Effeicent enough to produce a good yield?
Thank you everyone for your input!

I got the lids where it will velcro down

Exhaust should be up top to control heat.

 

[antdog420ftp]

OK I have the fans blowing on bulbs now ..... so I should switch intake and outake

I agree with yodazherb. hot air rises so you should always have your exhaust up as high as possible in your cab or room. Your fan shouldn't have to work that hard if its up high if that makes sense

Yea makes plenty since im about to change them around thanks alot

[antdog420ftp]

wanna hear something funny I was so broke and I didn't know what I was going to use for like the material until one day I was high eating a bag of potato chips and I just inside this shiny so that's what I'm using for now until I can get a few bucks lol I cleaned up good

Yea my question is how much more u think I need

 

[Yodazherb]

I know CFL's are much cooler than HPS ect. but on my 43 watters my temp gun reads 120F on the Ballast.
add in 4 or 6 cfls and you can get really hot !

 

[antdog420ftp]

my plan was to go out today and get some y splits for my lights bringing it to six cfls

Yea my question is how much more u think I need

there really isn't number as many as you can afford and fit but all depends what your trying to get out of this plant

I was hoping to get a pretty good harvest she has plenty room and how do you tell the actual watttage of a bulb the Pak says 100 watt but I know that's not the actual what how do you figure that out

 

[antdog420ftp]

and when I bring it to harvest next week should I put a mixture of cool light bulbsand regular Sun light bulbslike a 50/50 mix for my 12 12

if the pack says 100 then they should be around 23 to 25 actual watts

I always did a 3 to 1 ratio when running cfls

 

[grorite]

also I wouldn't be flowering that thing yet yield wont be too good grow it out some and do some lst it will be worth it in the end but whatever you choose I wish you luck

 

[antdog420ftp]

Thanks a lot grite new IMA wait a bit before flowering I sure do appreciate the answers

 

[antdog420ftp]

3 being the soft shot and 1 being cool is that how the ratio works
