Hello everyone. I am building a grow box with 3 x 50w chinese full spectrum LED's, they are on their way right now. I'm planning to grow a single plant with LST at a time. I need to make it stealth and also cheap as possible So i decided to make a pc grow box for vegetative growing, hoping that i can save a month when i start growing regularly. I've finished making pc box and here are specs:
36 x 42 x 16 cm total area
3 x 6000 K 23w CFL
2 x 2700 K 23w CFL
4 x 80mm pc fans running @ 12volts a.k.a normal speed. (They are able to work safely up to 15volts which can further reduce temparature) 2 exhaust, 2 intake.
24,3 centigrade celcius 10 cm below lamps with 21 C's room temparature.
Question is, am i overdoing it? Pics i've found online of pc cases usually use 2 23w or 5 15w cfl's. Fans are really loud and i want to take 2 of them out. But then i would need to remove 2 or 3 cfl's to keep temp low. So should i do it? Or having lots and lots of light would benefit me in terms of growth time and yield making it worth having noise? Also i said i'm making pc case for veg but in the future i may fully grow some small plants in it. So what do you think?
