Grow box setup

[skoomaman]

i was thinking of building a box with 9 plants in and using mylar(hXXp://www.mylarstoreonline.com/50ft.html) for the ceiling and inside walls.

i want to use 12 cool white florescent(26w ea) and maybe 1 or 2 of those nice bulbs that produce lots of lumens i forget what there called(hortigrow hortilux or something like that) is it worth the price adding those 1 or 2 in the box?

As long as you are getting 5000 lumens/ft2 the plants will grow

So you want to run cfl's and HID lighting? What kind of ventilation do you hve?

You'll need a lot more than that for that area. I reckon 100 W per plant.

there is no way i can do 100w per plant. at most 450w in total
here is my design

i am wondering if drilling holes in between and my fan will pull air and hopefully cool the them? would this work?
