Just make sure. GFI - do not build a shock-box. All power goes through a GFI device.

if it is not safe to grow where you are (aka you do not have a prescription etc), you should get a 4 inch charcoal scrubber and fan at the very least. It will help move air around and your spot will not smell like dank weed when you hit flower. And it will. I have a grow box with computer fans and you could smell it down the street (just before harvest).
I now use a 6 inch fan and scrubber and you smell nothing with 4X the grow.

Just saying.

Wisdom is best past on to another anyway :)

That wattage sounds safe and adequate for that space. Good luck with your grow.

how high? under 75? lots of air circulating from fan on oscillating is fine,,,, you want to get it under wraps when they get bigger and bushier... Son tropics is about 98% rh and shit thrives... Most cloners are at 80. i run my veg low 60s and slowly drop to 45 by the end of flower, and then dry whole at 65 degrees and 63% rh... Air flow is whats important... Smaller the area the harder to control...

post me a pic of your plants and what you have them in.. I see red buckets but it looks like the plant is half way down in it. You should use solo cups for the first couple weeks at least and then move up to 1 gal. 5 gal buckets is bad decision... and having then half way down in them will create a micro environment of high rh and no air flow...
I would repot them in something more suited to their size imo....
