any suggestion?

Hello everyone!

I'm building a grow room and i need advice.
Size: 3ft x 3ft x 5ft ( L x W x H )

I equipped it with fans, reflecting sheet, a reflector, thermometer and i'm using the flower bed technique, pot 60mm x 35mm x 20mm about 42L capacity with clay pebbles, chicken wire, cheese cloth, plastic pipe for air circulation and soil mix.
Now my question is this : Is my 200w CFL light (3 month old) good enough to grow 2 autoflower plant in that pot or do i need another light? is that lighting enough for one plant? if it is then i do just one at the time. got two seeds left and wanted to grow a different strain next time. Any advice? please feel free to comment on the method too.

You seem to be going down the right path, but you can do much better with the space you have. I have the exact same space, but I packed 2x 250watt HPS lights in there, and I can have up to 6, 3-foot, LST'd plants at a time. But if that 200watt cfl is all you can get, then I'd suggest taking the size of the box down a bit, it'll make it much easier to ventilate, and you'll be able to utilize the light much better if you plan on only growing 2 plants. I'd also suggest you add some side lighting, maybe even just a few 27watt cfl's. It's really cheap, but it does wonders for your lower growth. You always want to get the most out of your plants, especially when growing autos, and more importantly if you only have a few. Hope this helps!
