Might want to give more details about your general setup and gardening style and ask more specific questions regarding what info you need. It'll bring more folks in willing to assist...just my opinion.

I'll tag along though...always fun to watch the noobs!

I hav 2 seedlings about 1 week old ......in 8 oz cups in my pc grow bow

There are four 26 Wat cfl horizontal across the top ky box in lined with malor ....

I am running 24/0 as my light time

My plant are about 3 inches from the lights
Can i grow 2-3 plants in this box from veg to bud and does any body hav and estimated yeild would be with the light I am using now

This my first grow jus want to go through the motion before I up grade to a better box

O yea my plants are purple kush (bkgk)...digital berry cross with Carolina blue(blueberry)....and brute force

Yea you can grow in that box.. is it ideal..no. I don't know what you expect from that thing, but you can grow some bud. I don't give a flying fuck for fem seeds, but if that's all you have to grow in then give them a try..The fem seeds thing is my opinion and I don't care what anyone else thinks..In a space that small, you should probably use fem seeds, and scrog..make a screen.. do a search here. Read man, read

i would get some heating shield of acrylic or glas, check the micro grow forums out for ideas. true scrog would be my choice of training.

Added a 42 watt cfl to my pc box and temp and humidity digital read out

 

[yesum]

You have a bulb sitting above 3 other bulbs, that will block the light from the top one. The 42 watt one looks to be blocking the others above.

You will not need all that light in veg. You could drop that 42 watt bulb vertical in between the plants when you flower and the other bulbs split a little so they are on either side above. Follow?

Beer can reflectors will work on the small bulbs. You can search for info to make those. Those bulbs shoot out light 360 degrees, if you do not have a reflector you are using less than half of what they produce. The exception is if you are using them vertically and have plants surrounding the light.

You will want those lights close when the plant is a few inches tall or weeks old. In flower 1 or 2 inches away.

Why should he use fems? lol - OTHER than hard to sex them in tight spaces...

You don't like them, yet you suggest them....boooo hissssss

He seemingly has great genetics to work with.
SCROG is a great idea in such a small space...or LST
