I Plan On Growing In a Box I Am Making ITs Going To Be Around 3 feet in hight and 1.5 feet in diameter.. i am growing a new lowryder strain that happens to only get 14" tall. Will 2 75 wat cfls take care of the vegging process. and will 1 150w hps take care of the flower.. (not much to worry about cause its auto-flowering but... could someone tell me what kind of soil. nutes. and buckets i would need to make this a decent 2 growing plants that will yeild atlest 20 grams per plant
 
That light should do fine, obviously more is better if you can control heat. I would get 5"-6" pots, get premium soil (organic would probably be the best bet; foxfarm) there are plenty of good soils and nutes out their just try to find the one that works best for your financial situation and experience level. I wouldn't go overboard on spending on nutes for a system that small, it won't increase your yields or quality by a greatly significant amount. Just take good care of them and they will reward you for it. Good luck.
 
yes you want to exhaust through the top and get a fan inside blowing on the plants and the light. If you can somehow get an aircooled reflector or cooltube it will help you greatly and be much easier to control temps, but it is almost impossible to find 150w units that come equipped with these and they can be kinda expensive $70-100+ to purchase seperately.
 
so one in the box and 1 on top pulling air out? for a plant that is 14" tall .... about what hight does the plant need to be befor i put it on 12/12 there on about 16/8 now cause i have them outside vegging... its always worked better that way for me
 
I don't know anything about auto-flowering strains as far as switching the light cycle goes, seems to me that if they really do auto flower they should tell you when you can switch to 12/12, generally you want to switch when there 1/2-1/3 there expected finish size. Why don't you leave them outside if you have that option?
 
i do grow outside.... i have many growing outside.... but... i also would like to have a few inside incase something outdoors ruins all the plants..
