So here goes. I tried to grow some plants outside about a month back and they died due to the temps and whatnot, to much stress, didnt have a light at the time, and a bunch of other things. Below is a picture of my growspace, however i could take out the plywood and clothes and just use the entire height of the closet if need be. Dont know where id put all my shit, but that can be figured out later if my temps are to high. So im about to order some seeds from attitude, and a light as well.
Heres the pic: question below.
So theres the space. like i said i can take out the plywood and use the whole 8' for height if need be, would rather not though. So should i cut a rectangle hole in the top, and throw a 600 in there? or should i try and go stadium style, on 3 sides, with a 400w. Should i just put a 400W in there with no hole in the plywood? the space is 38" deep, 42" wide, and 43" tall with the plywood. w/o its about 8 ft to the celing. Should i just take out the plywood and use a 600W w/ reflector...ive been looking into vertical grows, however i dont have the space unless i get a better job and get a place of my own, btw. my 21'st bday is tommorrow (april 13!). but for now thats what ive got to work with for a flower room. should i go with a couple 125W CFL's or mabye a bunch of smaller wattage ones? like dr.greenbud from icmag...

and i like heath robinson's verticals on this site.
but like i said this is what i have to work with so should i:
A) cut a hole in top and throw a 600w in there mabye a plexiglass lens that way the inside of box wouldnt get hot
b)throw a 400W in there inside the growbox and hopefully bare temps
C)take out the plywood and use a 600W or mabye 400 hung from celing right to the plants, giving me a lot more height and lower temps im sure
or D) use some CFL's around the inside of box.
Plan on ordering seeds, and hopefully taking clones in another area on CFL's sometime in the future.
Let me know what you would do. and thanks!
+rep to anyone that gives me a really good idea!
