Grow box set up?

I have a small grow box built ou of a small tote(2 feet long, 17 inches wide, and 15 inches deep I know I'll need to at least make it taller) and I wanna start off with 2 plants and am going to use cfl lights and I have wrapping paper on the walls for reflection of the light and have the plants in plastic cups and I'll have a hole cut in the side for ventilation and a small fan in there with it... Would the plants make it to harvest? How many cfl lights and what kind would I need? Is there a watering schedule I should have after I plant them in the soil? And how good would this set up be? What is your opinion I'm on a low budget by the way...

Haven't you already made several similar threads in the last few days? Why not just ask your questions in one of those, and maybe respond to some of the people who have been posting advice for you?

Junk the plastic tote... and get yourself some PVC pipe, some elbows, zip ties, some black and white poly and duct tape.... and make yourselt 2'x2' wide and 3 feet tall box out of those material and stick as many CLF's as you can rig up inside there. Stick a small computer fan up in the top corner and make a small hole somewhere in the bottom that fresh air can come through... and then you'll be good to take a plant all the way. Plastic totes, are by no means good for growing.

Thank you!!! I have a 4 foot tall old speaker I'm gonna gut out and use... I forgot all about that thing for a grow box... And I have an old fan from an Xbox... Would that work?
 
Well... Now you're just replacing the tote with a gutted speaker, no? That dude that told you to build a DIY type tent with PVC and poly gave you that advice and it's pretty solid. Ditch the totes and speaker cases n do it right. Unless stealth is a major concern in which case you should rethink.

the poly he is referring to is plastic film that's black on one side and white on the other, get it from any grow shop... you say stealth is "kinda an issue" so you may want to think of doing a stealth dresser or something similar...
