Well first off I'm hoping to get some quick replies and information from anyone with knowledge of growing indoors, any help is appreciated. I've done alot of research and I know all about growing now but I want to be 100% sure of what I'm doing before I do it. My only concerns is air flow and height and width of the strains im going to choose, I want it to be a big enough box so I have no problems that are unexpected.... My plan is to keep a mother and clones in the veg under 1 cool white and 1 warm white fluorescent 3ft bulbs and flower 4 or 5 plants at a time under 430w hps bulb year round. The boxes will be 3x3x6 on both the veg and flowering chambers, I plan on putting them side by side so its looks like a big storage cabinet with the doors meeting in the middle.



here is the Veg chamber

I'm gonna use a cooltube for the hps lightbulb and maybe have an oscillatiing fan in both for extra airflow.The circles would be 80-120mm pc fans.For the veg I plan on using a drip irrigation system and for the flower an ebb n flow system. Any information anyone gives will be very much appreciated ill explain more on how i'm going to build the boxes in a few but for now I need a few opinions on my layouts.

i currently have a 2.5 x 2.5 x 4 and its enough for about 1 plant. Wish I made it bigger =(. but in essence. Those chambers have the height, but you need atleast 6 more inches of width and length. thats how I would have done mine...

I was following a RIU members grow and he had a 3x3x6 grow tent and had 4 plants in it thought it would be plenty of space.. wasn't for sure that's why I was asking, I've made my mind up on making it 3x4x6 in the veg chamber because my local store only carries 4ft fluorescents.

I may post my setup sometime and give some advice on problems I've run into, but I just want to throw in my 2 cents first. Grow boxes are a pain in the ass. I did a series of grow boxes hidden in a big secret area behind a basement workbench. Looking back, I don't know what advantages it offers. If the cops come a knocking, they're going to be using dogs which would sniff out my setup in a heartbeat. All it's done is make growing a huge pain in the ass compared to just reserving a small room to grow in. When I move, I will definitely just build a room in the basement or something and keep it locked.

I actually have a huge building out behind my house I could use its perfect for it but I was worried about smell,bugs,heating,and security of my plants but if no one knew I wouldn't have to worry about intruders.
My main thing would be heating it up and I don't think I could afford to keep a space heater running 24/7
