Ok thanks, so i got a pc fan pulling air from out side the box in, works ok. And i have a circulatory fan inside to keep air moving. I was wondering , would it be ok to start the seed off at 12/12? Or does it need more light than that?

I made a few adjustments, pc fan for the intake, larger fan for circulation inside the box. The only thing i dont have is a exhaust hole:-( I think it will be fine without because the box is not airtight. I put a piece of black cloth to cover the intake it still has good airflow through the cloth over i just need to plant the damn seeds that wont germinate@! lol how long do seeds usually take to germinate. Isoaked them in water for a night prior to germinating in paper towels, any ideas? :leaf:

Nice. Hopefully it works.. Looks good though. But yeah you'll need to have more light than that for the seedling up into veg. 24/0, 20/4, 18/6, maybe even 16/8. But 12/12 strictly for flowering. As for the germinating. All I did was put them in a damp paper towel, put that in a cup with water at the bottom and put that in a cupboard for 2 or 3 days, checked the seeds and some had cracked and started growing roots. It shouldn't take long.

I thought you only need one light for the seedling? I dont know i have 3 more 40watts CFLs i just need to mount them better. If i do 14/10 for the phtoperiod its "suposed" to induce female production in seed chemistry, lower light/dark ratio suposedly makes more females, i read it in a book i dont know if its true but well see. Its been 3 days now an these seeds arent even cracked.

I had a little scare this morning to , i woke up and checked out the box, my fan was lying in the pot (fell off wall) and 2 of my wires touched and sparked causing a small little fire. So now im being EXTRA carfull lol.
 
i have a old speaker box that houses a 15 inch speaker a mid and a tweeter. been thinking of doing the stealth speaker thing myself. the 15 has a hole in it from when i moved so i can get rid of it and utilize half the speaker box so that the mid and tweeter still play and dont draw too much attention. if people ask i will say the voice coil in the 15 is burned up but still use other speakers.

The only reason i have one light on right now, is because numerous people told me you only need 1 light for seedling because in such an early stage they cannot use the extra light?? I duno i thought the more light the better, i have 3 more 40 cfl's and im getting some 60 watts soon.
