Have a question about a rubbermaid grow op i'm building. I was planning on having 200watts in there on 2 plants. Is 200watts going to be too hot for it? They're not the full size tubs b/c i have a 3' clearance where they're going and they had to fit stacked. I'll check when i get home, i believe they were the 18gallon roughnecks.

Thanks!

Yeah i planned on from seed to harvest. I've seen others doing it on here in rubbermaid grow boxes, why's it not okay?

Has to be stealthy, can't be in my closet lol. This is going deep in the crawl space. Law here is 1-5plants is a misdemeanor so i'm not going over 5 plants. 30g or more possession is a felony though so it doesn't really work LOL unless i'm harvesting super small.

But yeah this is just my first grow that's all. I'm worried about plant height now as looking at other setups i notice they're using a bigger box, whereas i had to opt for the smaller one due to short height to work with.

I'm worrying about the fan/filter combo now but i'll get to that later with pics prolly. I'm almost done with all the parts i'm getting.
