Is my setup gonna work?

This is my first time growing and Im growing in a cabinet that is 36"Wx18"Dx64"T I lined the inside with R-Matte its a type of insulation that has a reflective side and that is facing the lights obviously. The top shelf is for starting clones/seeds while the bottom is for when the get bigger I have a thick white light tight curtain ready to put up when my babies start to flower. I have 3 pc fans bringing are in on one side and 2 taking it out on the other side. Im using florescent tubes and I know they arent the best but I cant afford any HIDs yet. The lights are on hooks and chains so I can raise them accordingly. So thats basically it, lol please help out this noob. Thanks!

sounds like uve planned it fine. with fluro ur heat shouldnt be an issue. if u upgrade the light at some point to hid then u'll probably need to up your air intake/exhaust accordingly. best of luck buddy.
 
Sounds like it'll work to me...for future reference your exhaust should be larger than your intake but you shouldn't have too much heat off the FL's. Maybe light trap the fans if need be, oh and make sure that insulation is not flammable. Then just get the best genetics you can and get growin!
