Idea on fruiting chamber

Alright this is my first attempt to buld a larger fruiting chamber to increase yields and i wanted to see if you all think its a reasonable construction
Large Rubber maid tub with 50 watt incandesant light bulb in the top center of a side wall(set on a timer to run four hours a day, spaced out evenly in 1 hr intervals). A thermomiter and hydrometer plugged into the side so gagues are readable from the outside. An erlamyer flask in the center with a fish tank bubbler inside to raise humidity of chamber. and two cpu power supply fans, on on either side for air exchange every hour for 5 mins. and a 1'x1' hole cut into the top, witha window screen put in to cover it.
Im curious if anyone figured out how to wire all these things to timers any suggestions would be much appreciated

50 watt light bulb will cook your grow. I use a little 4w nightlight or a short string of christmas lights in my larger monotubs on a simple 12/12 cycle. Works great.

Well i made a PmP (poor mans pod) it has an air pump that runs 24/7 and gives it 2-3 air exchanges an hour, the key is to get the right size pump there are guides all you have to do is search
And I use a 4 watt 8in flourecent light, incadecent would warm it up too much

You shouldn't need to heat a FC unless your room temp is excessively cold. 65-75 deg F or so works fine. The cooler end of the spectrum works, just not optimal. Also, your light in the FC will increase temp in the chamber.
