Would this box work for auto's

Made this last year and never used it, if I take the top off could I use it for auto’s. Might use a led light on a timer 12/12 and have 2 plants in there also 2 small fans for circulation. No intake fan because the Top will be off. Box is 2 feet wide, 3 feet long and 3 and a half high.

I think it will work.
I’m still very new and just started two autos for a space just a bit bigger than this (mine is a closet that’s 2x4’ and a little over 4’ tall) I’m still working out the venting and need something to replace the doors that were removed and discarded some time ago.

Edit: I have a 4x4 tent with my second grow. The closet for the autos is a new addition to my grow room.

thanks for the reply,happy growing

That will work just fine don’t skimp on the light and as long as you keep an eye on temp you should be fine .Im just throwing it out there but plywood is full of glues and other toxins I would put heat in there for while before you grow to off gas keep in mind this info is just a though. As far as lighting you should run a 18/6 or 20/4 autos have short life so longer lighting more growth and be gentle on nutes mix like 1/4 strength manufacturers instructions.If you have any questions feel free to drop a note.

You will more then likely have to LST the hell out of them and maybe even scrogg them in that space… the thing about auto’s is your never really sure when they will start to flower… maybe at 12 inches tall or maybe at 5 foot tall… either way , good luck and best wishes my fellow cultivator … :wink:
