I think space will be ur biggest issue u might wanna just do 2 and more air circulation but nice box though
 
Yea i know not too much space was looking for something bigger than computer tower but didnt have much money built out of 1 sheet of plywood and 22 ft of 2x4 cost me 15 in wood the rest of shit was laying around here n there so not bad for what im working with n yeah i need some fans in the box but theres ok circulation from flowering through the pvc to veg compartment can feel the air flowing through each one not terrible but could be better thanks for checkin it out

Or u can use cardboard boxes that's what I do when I need more room and more cfls too and why not just do flowering cause of the space

Very small. Do only 1-2 plants a nd keep them short. You can get a small 2'×2'×4' te t for really cheap on ebay. Save up some $ get one and do a grow, save up and get a 250w mh/hps combo and an exhaust fan. Small setup but will work great and pull decent harvests.

You want your plants to have some room to breathe so 6 may be to many unless you use 1 gallon pots perhaps or you can run a sog with clones. That way you can maximize the use of the space and keep a perpetual going. If you can add a place on top for clones, the mothers can be in the veg box.
 
On the plants im looking at 4 at the most flowering while 3 at most in veg side and get rotation going hopefully so never more than 7 plants in box at once but theres room its 1.5 feet wide 2.5 feet long 2.5 feet tall
