micro cfl closet grow (pics) Any suggestions?

I plan on doing a stealth grow in my closet, there are some obvious height constrants but i am going to see what i can get. My box is 25w x 19d x 17h (inches). And yes i know thats not alot of space but its what i got so im going with it. I am currently germinating the seeds which are just lef over bag seeds.

My plan is to veg 4 or 5 plants at 18/7 and do some lst. Once they are big enough i will clone them. Once the clones have rooted I will go 12/12 in the box flowering my veged plants and clones. Once i pick out the males ill remove them and their clones and ill see what i have left. the whole idea is to get one good female so i can clone her and get some scrog going on my next grow.

For lighting right now i have 2 23 watt cfls and a 17 watt flourecent grow light. This i think should be good for a week or so then ill upgrade my 23 watters to 42s and maybe add another one or 2. I also have 2 computer fans in the back, one for intake and one for exhaust. If heat begins to be an issue ill add some more.

If you have any suggestions please let me know bc ill probably need the help. My first grow failed so i decided to upgrade my setup a little (i know its still not that great) but we'll see how it goes. thanks

well looks you got some good ideas on thought tho, could work better if you can turn your box on its side so the door closes up and opens down like a draw bridge it would give you less width but more highth but you might need a latch to keep it shut...and i wood go with 2 26 watt cfls and 1 42 watt + what you've already gottand i would try and mount thos cfls..jes a thought
 
yeah i plan on mounting the clfs, just havnt gotten around to it. i wish i could turn it on its side but my hiding spot isnt tall enough or else i would have just built the box taller. i might be able to do some reconfiguration so that i can turn the box sideways but then ill need to drill new holes for the fans which is annoying. ill see how it goes, i just planted the germinated seeds. if i have to makes some changes then i will
