You're growing an auto-flowering plant in a tiny space with maybe 100w of CFL bulbs... I mean, welcome to the game, but you're not going to get a lot of attention for this.

I suggest you place an intake fan at the bottom and two exhaust fans at the top. In place of a filter you should probably look into Ona gel as a solution to the smell.

I think you could use twice as many bulbs, 6 total, and grow as many as 9 plants in 2L planters of coco. Probably 60 days start to finish with a harvest of lets say 100 grams on the heavier end. Total cost would be about $350.00 when it was all said and done. Those seeds are expensive. But you could repeat your system 6 times a year for a total yearly harvest of 600 grams and a cost to you of under $1800. Nearly $8,500 in personal use when purchased from a dealer. Not a bad investment indeed.

Really I suggest more light and to ventilate the top of the cabinet. Other than that, work in coco and go with a SOG with your Fem'd Auto Flowers. Aim for about 10-12 grams per plant.
