Hi i have made a new grow box for my second grow it is as follows
18" x 18" x 42"
The actual grow area is only 18" x 18" x 30"
I have put in a floor over the pot to prevent wasting any light and reflect light to the underside of the leaves this floor comes apart so i have access to the top of the pot
The ceiling can be raised an inch at a time as the plant grows to also prevent wasting light
I have a small usb fan at the bottom drawing a little air in and one at the very top pushing air out
There is 6 x cfl bulbs on the moveable ceiling and 2 x cfl bulbs on the inside of the door to give me a total of
9600 lumen of light, 2 of the bulbs are 2700k and the other 6 are 6400k spectrum
My current temps are 23.4c
And humidity is 51%
I have a home made c02 generator ( bottle of sugar, yeast, water ) that is placed next to the pot which has two airlines that I hang above the plant.
The plants seems healthy enough at the moment (although seems a little to bushy) i was wondering if it would be beneficial to add 4 more cfl bulbs on the floor surrounding the plant to get better light penetration to the lower parts of the plant this would give me a total of 14400 lumen just not sure if it would be a little over kill and be detrimental to the plants health any advice would me much appreciated or anythink i could also do to improve the setup thanks
