Im planning on building a small grow bow to grow one plant in at a time with only 2 85w cfl lights. Im not planning on getting a big harvest at all this is just for fun.
The height of the box can only be 20" which is the part im worried about. I was planning building it 20 inches high and wide but with 2 85w cfls that already takes a few more inches off the top. Im starting to think it might just be too short even with a scrog unless i could set the screen like 6 or 8 inches from the bottom and veg until the screen is only like 20% full?
 
20 inches high is about a computer case, you should be perfectly fine and have no problems at all.
 
I think you should be just fine. With a grow that small I would put the screen no farther then 6in, I would do 4in. Also maybe think about growing an indica as you dont have the head room for a sativa. You should be able to fill the screen around 30%-40% in veg the flip. Ifs its just for fun and on a small scale then try to see how much you can pack in that screen. Then you can use that info on the bigger scale.
 
:bigjoint:Hey whats anyones thoughts on a sheet of plexiglass below the lights to keep the plants cooler? im going to have a fan on top of the box as well to remove eat form the lights also.

Thanks for your input!
 
works good, lots of people do it. It'll slightly make your bulbs not work as effective in terms of getting the right colours to the plant though.
