you can grow a GOOD plant using 3 - 43 watt CFLs..
and a GREAT plant using 6 - 43 CFL lights
it will be key to flower early and have lights on the side...
those lights can not maintain a BIG plant but they can produce some QUALITY BUDS!!

yup that could work well. temp wise I am running between 65 (lights off) to 75-77(lights on) on 12/12 schedule. 12 bulbs is prolly more than enough? do you have a limitation in height? just one plant will prolly work out pretty well. the fan is good to strengthen the stems too.
Nope i got a 6 by 2 closet that is about 9 feet high. Pretty big closet i guess. I had a 24/0 but then switched to 18/6 about three weeks later. I heard that this wouldnt really affect the plants too much and the dark cycle will encourage plant growth? Either then that i think im good?

Foil will not get hot unless u have a heat lamp or a really hot bulb like a 250w+ hps would..
And you dont use the shiney side, use the dull (blurry) side
..and u might want 2 buy a cheap fan to put in there..

I have the soil up in my room also because i cant find anything locally to use instead. But if you use it like smoke2live420 said you should be fine. If the coset is painted flat white on the inside, than you should not need anything else.

Cardboard is great to use, the lights do not create a fire hazard, CFLs do not get hot enough to catch even paper on fire. Hotglue works really well to glue cardboard together, and it holds strong, if you need it. I made a hood with a vanity light strip with 5 sockets, out of some cardboard, hotglue, and duct tape, plus the vanity strip I wired myself. I lined the inside with mylar [shiny reflective wrapping paper, on the silver side], it works extremely well, look at my gallery towards the newest pictures to see it.
I did have 12 cfls running but the temperature was almost 100, so I cut it down to 2 40 watt cfls and 2 26 watt, and the temperature goes between 77-83 degrees, it seems to be enough light for 3 plants, no streching or anything.

Will do i'll start looking for a box? Im just extremely worried that the box may catch on fire and lining it with tinfoil? Is it possible?
