A few more minor adjustments and the plan will be in effect... Now, the question is whether or not to get one more qb 288to go with the other one, or 2 304s to go in this and keep the 288 I have in the little tent?

Looking good. Can't wait to see a decked out cab. Plan on painting(flat white) or lining it with mylar(NO ALUMINUM FOIL)?

You might be able to take that fan and mount in on the right wall. If it has any mounting on the bottom of it. If it doesn't, I'd just screw through the base to mount it.
What all do you have in there? Is that a humidifier on the crate? If the crate is only for fan space, you'll be able to take the crate out which will open up some room up top for a little bit bigger canopy.
Looks great.

That is a reservoir for the autopots... I have a fan blowing up from under the res... Even with no ventilation it only gets up to the mid 80s...

Can you have the reservoir outside? If you're stealth in appearance, you can get creative to make it look natural, it already looks decent enough to maybe just sit and blend in. If you aren't stealth in appearance, I'd set it on top of the cabinet. Get it outside and you'll free up some room to maximize your canopy. You've seen my stuff, I'm all about that space, no trebble.

I'd go with two 304's of the two choices. It looks like as-is your grow footprint is going to be about 2x2 to 3x2. That's 4-6sqft. At a minimum of (actual) watts you want 30 watts per sqft. at the wall. Get at least up to that and you'll be sitting pretty.

Ah, up there you said two. In that case, two 288's.

Yeah I know, I had planned on keeping the one 288 for my other tent, but then I remembered that I have another light that I could use for that one and just put my 288 kit in this cabinet , and since im only going to be using two pots and keeping the res in there I don't really need another one... What im thinking about doing right now is putting some mylar on the front of the res so it will reflect light on the plants better...
