IVe built my grow cabinet, its roughly 5 feet tall, 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. The inside is covered in the Panda plastic.
Im trying to decide on lighting now.
I found a DIY for an HPS light here:

Im only going to be growing one plant at a time from feminized seeds and clones.
Is the above light enough for my area and all stages of the grow cycle? (veg, flower)

Thanks for the help

Have you though about how to control heat? Sometimes cfls are better because they produce less heat. Just a thought.

in my veg/clone cabinet i went with 8 4foot tubes @ 40w each, you dont need that much, but i tihnk that floro would be better because the small space and the heat. unless you put some really good ventilation in there, if so the hps all the way. my cab is 5'w x 2'd x 6' h

Ive got one 4" intake fan, two 4" exhaust fans and one 6" oscillating fan. I figured that if it got to be too hot that I could set up one of the exhaust fans to pull the heat away from the light and out of the cabinet.
