Im using the closet in my room which is more than enough room but there is a ledge built coming out of the wall and i want to use this ledge because it is closer to the cieling. I am using CFL lighting only. Im going to use the main one on the cieling and two or three more setup on fixtures. Anyone have any recommendations for CFL bulbs? (brand, watts, lumens, etc.) i have covered the ledge with foil and am going to setup a small fan to circulate air and a thermometer to regulate the heat. any suggestions? any warnings? what kind of pots should i use and how much are they each? how many plants do you think i should grow at maximum in this room? i dont want to grow a lot but not 1 at a time either. any suggstions welcome.

remember.. heat rises... the top of your closet will be much warmer than the floor..

ventilation is going to be key.. If you can.. pull the air out of the room.. Ideally you will be able to pull it out of the closet and send it into the attic through a hole in your ceiling.. If this is not possible, you can always use a squirrel fan and attatch it to the door knob (remove the door knob) and blow it out the door knob hole.. The only problem with that is.. your bedroom is going to get a bit warm and real stanky...
