Custom, from-scratch grow-cabinet. What do you think?

Dimensions: 48" tall, 22" deep, 40" across. All wood is 3/4" thick.

The left side will be for fall and the right for spring. Bought the plywood, primer, paint etc., this is built entirely from scratch. And it's the first thing like it that I've ever built! Parts cost about $150, so think about it before you buy one of those tents...my thinking was that one of those tents wouldn't even separate the environments, they're pretty expensive, and they look to me like the slightest spark would turn them into an inferno. So I went this route and I'm pretty happy!

I'll cut holes for ventilation once I order and receive my lighting; I'll probably run all electric through a single surge protector so that only one power cord is going out.

And I'd say it's a step up from these (never took a pick of the stacked one unfortunately but the third sorta shows it):

I'm thinking 250 HPS on one side and 250 MH on the other. I was going to go CFL in the other but I hear MH is a lot quicker, and I remember how long the CFLs took.
 
Well the red box was single for the first part, and when they outgrew it, I stacked another on top flipped over. Should've taken pictures...but yea it was good for $60 and only a knife + stove burner for tools! This new one was definitely more involved.
