Cabinet grow box setup...

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Newbie board because this is my first attempt at growing, or post it here in the Design & Setup. I'm just looking for someone to evaluate what I've got so far.

I have three 42-watt CFLs in there right now. I have five 30 watts for flowering. I still need to get an intake and outtake fan, the one in the middle is just for ventilation. The two holes are for the intake and outtake and both will be connected to ducts minimize light leakage. I have a carbon scrubber, which I think I'll have to place outside the cabinet as it takes up a lot of space and it'll be connected to the outtake. And I'm planning a small hydro-grow using the Deep Water Culture system. I'd really appreciate some second opinions though, as I feel like I don't really know shit, haha.

Thanks.

Looks like a good set up. Are you gonna use that for veg and flower. Also look into some Y splitters and more bulbs. The Y splitters are like 2a bucks at homedepot or a department store. They will help you out alot. If you use the same box for veg and flower i suggest you dont veg to long not enough space im using my whole closet with three plants and im startin to run out pf room.

Yeah, I'm planning on using it for veg and flower. Do you think it'd be wise to ScrOG it to maximize horizontal space, or just leave it? I'll look for Y splitters and more bulbs. Thanks (:

Added: Also, the veg bulbs I have I had to order online as bulbs in that spectrum are rarely sold where I am. Should I just use all the bulbs I have flowering and veg, or will that mess up the plants?

Well I actually did end up finding some right spectrum ones at a big electro store. There are no Walmarts here, but I picked up some 20 watt veg lights. Thanks.

i would also consider going 12/12 from seed to. you will be able to fill that space with about three plants and still get a good yeild off of them. when you flowering if you have the room using the veg bulbs with the flower bulbs wont hurt. more light the bettter IMO.:grin:

Alright 12/12 it is. I'm gonna stop posting on here and start a Grow Journal. I actually have four plants going right now, but I'll guess I'll have to remove one, I don't know. I appreciate the input.
