Noooo, its definatley not a nice dresser.i broke out all the doors and left a layer in the middle. so theres like 2 compartments in it. its a pretty good sized dresser. its junk. but thats whats so good and easy about it.

oh ok then, id just drill some holes on both sides and blow the fan on one side. You could make the holes good size and ocolate the fan.

Yah, but then alot of light would get out. yah, and for my co2 i added a bottle filled with 1/2 tps of yeast, a cup of sugar, and the rest was water. i cut a small hole in the cap. does this sound right? i dont wanna give them to much or anything.

i never have worried about CO2. its just too much hassle to get the mixture right for a small grow. i make sure they get outside when the weather is good. outside air is rich with CO2.

So, odball, seems my grow is small, does that mean i should ditch the mixture i already made? mine will go outside on good days also. hopefully.

Wow.... please dont listen to this guy.... you plant will be 80% stem trying to reach that light...

If you don't know, its not a big deal, don't reply with erroneous facts, your only leading someone down the wrong path....

Yes i know you were kidding cause his title made you mad (boo hu) still, no reason to try and make someone fail....

Sorry I am a bitch, hahah

I Take every thing back above but the Get a 250wattHPS...
Your right we are all in this together,

You know you can get a 400 watt HPS grow light complete with ballast from HTG supply for $100.00

CFL's are great though if space is a limitation...or heat..

Good luck there,

P.S. your an asshole too then J/K lol:joint:

i wouldnt take any the advice anyone has given you except for 420. CFL's would probaly be the best since you are growing in a cabinet(less heat). Get the cool white bulbs for vegging id probaly get about 3 or 4 24 watts. As for flowering get as many of the warm white bulbs as you can

Can soft white lights be use. I bought 2 200 watt 3910 lumens bulbs. Thats more lumens the the CFL's and if i can use these what would the correct method be?? And i will also still be using the cfls
