Yeah stealthy location as hell lol. As you can see from the shitting pics of the screen i haven't built a stand for it yet but thats how I intend to Scrog after i veg for awhile and LST to fill the screen..i plan on hanging a 400w HPS light above the scrog but in center of room so light gets spread to all 3 plants. only 2 will be able to fit under that screen im guessing so the other will just be LST'd like hell. i plan to germ with those cfls and then i have a couple cfls with 3500k bulbs i'll keep on during flowering in addition to the HPS lamp.. also im using a full spectrum hps bulb throughout veg to flower.. also to be noted.. i plan on taking cuttings from my single plant not getting scrog'd and from these cutting have some new plants growing to swap in after the first grow ends, however i think when i switch the main plants to 12/12 i'll prob have to flower the little cuttings then too, hopefully i can pull a main cola each a cutting?

Def what he ^^^ said your gonna need some ventilation. To at least exhaust the heat out of it gets to hot. Once you get the HPS test it to see how the heat will be in there

you'll be putting small cuttings early into flower ---- small plants = small yeild

Have your lights on 12/ 12 overnight. It will help with the heat issue having the ballast off during the hotter parts of the day. It will also help with the cost if you are on time of day pricing. Find a little cabinet somewhere else in your house. (I use an old microwave stand that has a big cabinet in it.) Put a couple cfls in it. Get a little usb fan and have it running in there. Let your clippings grow so that when you harvest, you can transplant into bigger pots, and within 2 weeks be flowering for the next harvest. Or..... keep the seedlings under the 12 hour light and wake them up in a window or spare room for a couple hours during the day and it will be enough to keep them out of flower. You need to do this or you will only have one good harvest off your seeds. The alternative is to reveg your plants after flowering and then don't worry about cloning at all.
