Looks nice - well done. As to how it will work, it's going to depend on the wattage of the bulbs. You can veg under virtually any lights, but having enough wattage to flower them may be an issue for you. How many plants, and what varieties? Soil? Nutrients? Got enough air circulation? I'm running CFL's myself, and even they can generate an awful lot of heat in a small, enclosed space.
 
With T8's i have more than 100w 6400K at the moment just for 1 auto diesel ryder and will same with 2700K. ,
And temprature is not higher than 30-31 C, air circulation is ok, tested.
And DIY actvated carbon will follow, i am waiting for carbons :)
 
Nice work, by the way. You obviously put some thought into the construction and design. Another thing to keep in mind is that with very limited vertical space, you will want to flower really, really early. Flowering at that size, your plants may triple in size AFTER you flip to 12/12. What do you have to work with, between the top of the pot and the lights? 15-18"? You may need to flower when the plant is only 5-6" tall.

i go with autos, to gain experience so vertical space is not that important. Planing to try LST. I am still in learning phase and i think this is a good start :)
