A lot of plants double or triple in size after the flip. Vegging until 2 1/2 feet could be a problem in your space.

I used to use a Secret Jardin Dr-60 2x2x5. I grew 4 plants in 3 gallon pots under a 250 watt hps.

i would run two of em n flip when the cab is 1/3 filled up...1/3 for the plant 1/3 for the explosion of growth in flower n a 1/3 for lights vents ect

you gonna put an hps in a cabinet? i will say this no no no. use led 300-400 watt with 3 watt diodes and 7 band spectrum. the heat from the hps will cook your plants unless you remove the side panels back panel and part of the top. or do you have another area to use the hps in like a 4' x 4' with 6 ft ceiling?
love and peace

youl definitely fry em with a 400 ... im thinking more like a 150....if you run 8 plants in that small of a space the light wont penetrate very good and theyl b fightn for air. better off lst two or three plants max . i think i could pull 3 to 4 zips from this if vegged for a month

400w HID's are good for a canopy penetration of up to 3' but ideally 2'-2.5' so I wouldn't try doing 4 footers lol,and a 1/4 pound per plant in that area just isn't going to happen,now a 1/4 pound to 1/2 pound (total) is doable.

You could scrog one plant,or two...or you could try your hand at high density sog (4-9 plants per square foot) and flip when only about 6"-8" so they finish off around 12"-24" tall.

You're also going to want a 6" inline centrifugal exhaust and a 6" carbon filter.

Yeah thanks guys i been thinking 4 plants topping them what size pots and what yield in oz would i be able to achieve? Going per plant im doing ak48 and im waiting for super skunk to comw :)?
 
Yup the stretch a whole bunch once they put into flower, you can't me sure it in what it was doing in veg as plant height but the height on your dresser is enough to grow marijuana just fine.
 
try to switch them at 5 inches, then the will shoot up like you woulnt believe, that top height is ok in measurement i can tell you that.

I have a closet that is 2x4x8....I ran a 400w HPS in it and basically utilized a 2x3 grow area. I had to get a vented hood and 4" inline pulling air through filter - through hood and ducted up into attic. That kept temps in check but still warm in summer months. I started with 6 plants in that area and quickly figured out that was to much, too crowded. I went down to 4 plants veg for a month in 3 gallon pots flipped when they were 12-15" and ended up with plants 24-32" tall typically. 400 light would penetrate 3' so I tried to stay in that range. I started to figure out more plants does not mean more buds....or at least in smaller grow areas like ours. So I went to 3 and produced as much as 4 and then down to (2) plants in that same area just trained, scrogged, etc and produce as much or more and it is easier to manage. You can fill that space depending on how you want to grow. So now I run (2) plant setup and they go from 2 gallon veg pots to 5 gallon smart pots before flower, I grow them same height and get plus or minus 4 oz per plant. It is hard to predict yield with so many variables. Don't worry about yield worry about taking care of your plants and you will be rewarded at the end.
