i just bought a homebox xs online and have many questions about lighting and ventilation.
I have decided to go with CFL's throughout the entire grow, but i was wandering if two 125W cfl would be enough for the whole tent (2'x2'x4') if so i will be using 2 6500k for veg and 2 2700k for bud.

Also for ventilation, i have no idea what im doing. if someone could pick out the parts for me that'd be great lol
 
If you can keep the bulbs close that should be enough.. But i would keep the plants very short or sog/scrog... No matter the size of the cfl the effective range from cfls is only about 2-6" for big dense buds...keepem close and in the breeze you should be happy with the results:) i only use 23 watters and i got buds bigger than my bulbs:) but close is key....
 
Wierd and as for venting they sell really nice fan combos with the carbon filter i think you get get a small one for that tent maybe 150 bux total?? I will find a link for you:)
 
Do I really need the carbon filter? It's a very small space but I've never grown before and don't know how much the plants actually smell. Could I maybe use a cheaper alternative?
 
You dont need a carbon filter at all but when flower time comes they all stink! Unless you can vent outside your whole house will stink....but like i said its not needed to grow :) for now you just need a small fan moving air around and get the room air circulated with fresh...is there holes in the back of the tent for ducts?? You could even use a couple computer fans if you gott'em??

Well i was wandering if there was a cheaper way to filter the air or cover the odor?
