well in the top will be my seedlings
and the bottom will hold my tomatoes. i think if i have enough in there, i should be able to produce enough juicy fat fruits to keep me fed, I just hate paying for them if I should be able to grow them myself, first time trying to be a farmer.
I have to go get the specialty variety seedlings this weekend.

I have a t5 flowering set up for tops and sides. I grew my seven girls, 3' high, 2'-3' wide. My Top 4' t5 lights[x4] and my 4' side lighting:x4 on each side. I used the standard reflectors so i could concentrate my light at a downward 35 degree angle and utilize full lumen efficiency[5,000]. It worked awesome and i only have a $50 electric bill every month. I vegged for 2 months, and now im on my last 2 weeks of flower. I use 1000 watt hps now.
