So im building a grow box and im starting it up but the only thing is that i feel like im missing things. Im adding another CFL lightbulb thats 20WATT so the total wattage in the growbox would be 52WATTS. you think thats good enough for growing. Plus the fans make the Box very cold inside.You can see here how i started making it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9kxxFqKls4&feature=youtu.be Also another thing is does the plant need heat or light in order to grow

One plant maximum that is a micro grow also I'm surprised your having problems with it being too cool as with that foil it should be radiating a lot heat. Temperature is always the number one problem when it's come to growing next to watering and lighting and of course plants need heat and light to grow the recommended temperature is between 72-81 indoors but I grow outdoors in temperatures of up to 104 f• lighting is also a major issue 54w is very small amounts of lumen or visible light that covers the area but you will be fine with 54w during vegative growth during blooming period you will want to upgrade to up 75w-125w to get enough light for those buds.

Thank you very much. I will just buy 3 30Watt lightbulbs and stick em in their place. Also do you think it would be better to add another fan? i have 2 more fans..... and as for watering. i have absolutely no clue how to start the watering design. Any suggestions on what kind of method i can use to water?

An intake and outage fan will be good just use two pc fan one lower blowing in and one blowing out that's higher as heat rises on the box for watering just get a gallon jug fill with water you can you distiller water with a ph 0.0 or if the tab if your area is okay with a range of 6.1-6.7 use can take the plants out and then just water them directly with a garden can you will also need fertilizer for vegative growth and flowering period also there are additives you can you to help the plant but they are not necessary as are vegative and flowering fertilizer for soil I recommend Fox Farms Ocean Forest as you don't need give any nutrients for month as there are completly organic nutrients put into it earthworm castings,sea kelp etc. just go to a local hydroponic/nursery ask for a good vegative fertilizer and bloom fertilizer and if they begin to come off as suspicious say for good tomatoes.
