I started off with a PC grow, which was a learning experience, but it is time for the real deal. After much deliberation this is what I have planned for my current setup. I am looking to have a stealth setup in my room that will provide at least a quarter pound per harvest. Opinions, advice, and comments are appreciated.
For the Grow Room:

I want to use this cabinet as a combo veg and flowering room using a shelf to separate the two areas. It is 72 in high x 20 in deep x 30 in wide. I may expand eventually to two units one for veg and one for flower.
Lighting:
For veg I will use CFL tubes fixtures. I have yet to decide on a desired wattage. Off the top of my head probably 150W total (actual not equivalent)
For flower I was thinking 250W HPS, If you believe it to be too much say so. I will be using the ScrOG method in a hydro setup. Opinions on this product, seems like a very reasonable price.

For grow method:
I am growing hydroponic DWC. I have a decent amount of experience growing vegetables and have had exceptional luck. I have yet to decide on reservoir size. Shooting for 7 gal for each tank (colored plastic storage bin). Two plants per bin should allow me to do a ScrOG screen 20in x 30in. If you believe otherwise say so.
Venting:
My biggest priority is sound! I want something that is extremely quiet. I am contemplating using 1 or 2 large pc fans with carbon filters. Using the plastic cabinet will not insulate like wood or other materials, which will reduce temps. Keeping temps @ 80-90F has been difficult for me in my PC box.
Thanks for reading!
