In that closet i personally would use 2 200w cfl.....the temp will be 82f in there give or take...and obviously power is not a issue....but still a 400watt hps as long as is vented and has a fan will work wonders in a space like that. wish u all the best brotha!!

I dont know if its cool to ask questions in someone else's thread, but this one is v.similar to things i need help with too. So I've 'scribed it (first time ive done this as Im a total newb to this forum). I'm on a mission to convert a wardrobe into my own grow cabinet too, and that looks v.similar to the space I had planned for mine.
Ive read (most of) stelthys 2 threads & all I can say is that kind of end product cab is an absolute dream. I gave you rep for them, without even knowing what that means lol.
Anyway, I need my cab to be stealth as poss and was thinking Id have to go down the LED route as I like the idea of low fire risk, low 'leccy bills & great end product (amongst other things). but whats the deal with the envirolite CFLs? Whats the downside? Does their lack of intensity effect quality or yield? maybe these would be a cheaper & simpler option for me (especially as its going to be my 1st grow) but I dont want to get them if the end product isnt that good.

question is how much you consume? this will help you decide. you want secure, then you dont want a double risk of growing and buying. if you want to grow you have to be self sufficient, so how much do you smoke, oz per month? oz per week? theres a point of diminishing returns in using cfl and led. IMO anything more than 100watts is better flowered with HPS and with less than 100watts, you would get 1/2oz per month if your really good.

look at my little Box of Wonders, im using a 400w Super HPS bulb in a 6 cubic FT cabinet. the only things that cools the bulb is an old 12v 120mm PSU fan from an old computer, the cabinet stays at 25c or below :) with temperatures this low i can keep my plant about 7-8 inches away. :) i love it

Thanks alot mate , the 3 plants im growing in there are UK Cheese from a clone , pyramid seeds Anestesia (from seed) and PPP from nirvana (from seed)
The Bulb is a 300w 9u , ive got the red and the blue spectrums , im currently looking at converting my reflector so that i can use both bulbs on there at the same time, i do have a 250w HPS bulb spare though (i didnt want to use it in cabinet due to the heat and cost compared to CFL) .. i was thinking when i flower i might just use the red CFL and last 2 weeks use the 250 HPS .. dont know if its a good idea or not though ... its just a thought at minute !

Thanks alot for the rep !!
Id give you some back for your cab designs and help but i dont have a clue how too yet lol
