my new grow box idea, any advice?

hey all, just made my new grow box today, it measure two feet long x two feet wide x three feet high.

so its basically a square, almost rectangular shaped frame at the moment, as u can see by pics below, but i was actually hoping for some advice on some stuff, like how many plants could i grow in this sized box? i was thinking maybe just one but if i could fit two i will.
and was also wondering about lights, and the spectrums used while in veg and while in flower, and wattage, etc.

oh and one of my friends, (hes helping out with the grow) he thinks we should put plaster boards up around the box, i told him, no, but he is set on it, i would like to hear from anyone that knows whether this seems like a good idea or a bad one, or if it would just be a waste of time, lol.

so thankyou and please, as much advice as humanly possible, lol, i grew a few back in the day but now im starting to get back into it all again, so i just need my memory jogged, lol.

put up some pictures

16 clones, 12/12 straight away in 6" containers. Get a 250w switchable w/ cooltube & fan. Use the MH for the first 3 or 4 weeks then switch to HPS. Insulation is good. I recommend aluminum foil.

sorry forgot links lol, heres the pic links., http://img365.imageshack.us/i/dscn0086.jpg/, http://img43.imageshack.us/i/dscn0087y.jpg/, http://img194.imageshack.us/i/dscn0088d.jpg/

and lol, i have four little seedlings sitting under a 20w 6500k cfl, and theyre sitting inside an esky, (which is completely white), and moving them into this new box asap.

planning to have at least 200watts of lighting total, made up of different cfls, (wattages and colour temps)

sound like an okay plan? lol

What's so funny?

just realised that i didnt explain myself as well as i should have, and i say lol alot, ill try not to in this forum though.

and the damn pics were supposed to be up but they taking ages

I think you need like 5 posts for pics to show.

ahh ok, well i just took a few more fotos of my current set up, four seedlings under one cfl, im putting the pics up on a free file hosting site and ill give you the links in a minute

here they are:

yea u need to change the lights. u can get 2 42w cfls. cool white and warm white. i dont kno if that will be enough to flower but i hear people get mixed results. you can always try and if you dont like the outcome you can always upgrade next time. or you can just get a 250 ballast that work with MH and HPS. that way when flowering time comes you only need to change the bulb. 18/6 MH for veg, 12/12 HPS for flower. but with that you would also have to come up with a solution for venting.

i do not see a point of making a box unless you want to grow more then what you can fit in the cooler and in thaty case i would just use the space you already have and cover it in mylar. hope this helps.

nah i would leave it where it is, but its easier for me to put the box in the corner of my room, and itll b sweet with intake nd outtake fans, we actually have a carbon filter with a fan, so that will hopefully work well.

ill update with more pics as the box gets built.

thanks guys for all ya support so far, this grow will be worth watching ( i hope XD)\\

hey just a quick general question.

can i keep 4 seedlings going with only one 24 watt 6500k cfl?

i can only have one in the makeshift box theyre in right now becuz there is no fan in there so it will b too warm if i get another light, that's why im building my new box, with fan holes, (at the moment the seedlings are in my tv unit lol.)

i only need to keep them in the shitty box for another week and a half, so what im asking is, can i go the next week and a half without adding more lights? like is it sufficient light for four seedlings?

Would that pose any problems for lighting?

hey sorry its been a while, this might be dead, lol, but anyway,

i started lst-ing my plant about three weeks ago, shes going good, little side branches starting to form and grow upward, ive only just reached the side of my pot, now its time to start bending her around it, i have a 45 watt daylight cfl on her atm, waitin til payday to grab another two 65 watters.

will this be enough light to grow her nice and bushy and produce sum nice nugs at harvest?

( obviously ill be switching the spectrums over for flower)

any pictures of the progress? I have a small set up started too , with 4 plants. got one light , probably need more. Just started with clones a few days ago.
