Well I'm building a small one plant growbox, out of a 3 drawer dresser. its about 3 feet tall and 2-3 feet long. and 1 and 6 inches wide.
[Ill have pictures after 3 o'clock.]
I'm going to paint the inside with a special kind of reflective paint, I saw at OSH. I've followed this method for airflow

[+ two intake 9v 1200-2200RPM thermaltake PC fans[Adjustable speed]]
I've got my supplies, nutes and everything, except for lighting. Originally I was going to use my closet space for growing until my mother told me growing in her house is out of the question. [I pay rent tho so fu#% that.] I bought one HPS ballast system[400w] for veg state. and a 600w ballast for flowering.[Keep in mind I'm only growing a single personal plant]
But now that im using the SCROG method It will just get too hot in the little thing. I wanted to get 8 to 12 CFLs [ 42w?] And just put them everywhere in the top of the box, and on the sides just above the chickenwire im using. Would this be an adiquate system for a fist time grow? I mean I know Im not gonna be getting anything more then an ounce or two out of this shit but still looking for lots of imput....I plan to at least learn all I can if this grow fails. so im prepared for next time!
So basically my main question is should I get a lower wat HPS system, like say a 100w or a 150w. Or should I just stick with CFLs....
Any other imput will be FLAMED to the depths of hell!...jk lol.
