Uploading some pictures; tell me what you guys think, i'm still in the process of building another room, and i was wondering if this would be big enough to a small full grow in, ideally it is going to be just a veg area, then they will be moved to a larger room. But i was thinking about doing a small full grow in it to see how it goes.

Still waiting on a fan to arrive and also YOYO Hangers.

Size:
33" Wide
37" Tall

Distance to 300watt LED is 24" from growbox floor.

Other Questions:
Having Small Light Leak though the glass windows, at the front.
Light Leak though the Intake Pipe. its already at 90 degree angle going to try painting it black on the inside.

Sweet man, looks like you got yourself a nice little veg space..patch that hole if you can! They got that spray n seal shit that you can grab.. for hole leaks that shit can work wonders. If I were you I would just grow autos in there unless you have an alternate grow space, and if that's the case, perpetual grows are the shit, just a lot of work

I had a cabinet almost identical that I grew inside for a couple years. I maintained a separate veg box for my mother plant and cuttings. 250w hps scrog with white widow in the cabinet, 2 plants at a time a few ounces minimum every 7-8 weeks. you have plenty of room in there to pull off a full grow. then once you build your new grow room that cabinet will make a superb veg box.

Where you growing Auto's I'm thinking that may be the best option? I haven't had the money to finish the big grow room, got all the expensive equipment, i just got to finish the roof of it lol.

Build a scrog. super crop and top, could get 1 nice bushy bitch in there. Looks good for a veg box too.

here's the box I was talking about. keep in mind these pics were from a camera phone in 2011, the quality of photography reflects this LOL

without flash on that phone the colors suck in low light. the buds were deep green covered in red pistils and white crystals that looked like sugar.

that was one harvest, virtually the same box you have.

harvest day, flushed and spent. even doing scrog this particular grow had some uneven layers in the canopy but the buds were fat and dense.

hung to dry with only fans on, then transferred to cure and next cuttings go in to flower. I had no other place to dry it so I'd lose a week or so between each cycle.

So I finally about to start my grow; but i have a few more questions. What pot size should I use for my plants that will be suitable from start to finish? Should i drill holes in the cabinets floor for the pots sit in to gain a extra 4" of space (Ref to photos)? <--- or will that just cause more problems with drainage/light leaks/air leaks and its not worth the extra 4"?

Ill probably have more questions abit later on. Hope someone can help thank you.
