I wanted to get some opinions on my set up. The space is 15"Dx14"Wx23"H, I was planning on using 3 23w CFL's for veg, and 3 42w cfl's for flower. Do you think this would work in this space? Any suggestions are welcomed.

you would have to do a screen of green grow or somethig like that.dammit man i wanna grow but i need something like what you got so i can pimp it out! keep on chiefin':rastasmoke:
You could easily grow two lowryder 2 plants in there. Anything else would be difficult. You'd have to spend a lot of time tying down every branch for SCROG. Your CFL's will take up at least 4" and your pot has to be at least 6" tall.
So if the lights are mounted sideways (which is less efficient), thats 4" +1" distance away from plants. That leaves you with 18". Now your grow container has to be at the very least 6" so that leaves you 12" for the plant. Its totally doable, but very high maintenance at first. Once you got everything tied down and a screen in place, you can relax a bit.
If you go with auto flowering strains, they'll grow fine in that space with minimal to no tying. You'll need really good cooling to run 3 42w bulbs in that space. 4 23w would work for both veg and flower. Just don't expect big dense buds because a box that small isn't exactly ideal for growing quality stuff....though the auto strains come out pretty damn nice.
Dude i got a way similar set up ill have to post it up when i can. its pretty stealth in a desk cab like yours. i think iv got 3 cubic feet. maby 1 x 1.5 x 2 and i got 4 26 w cfl. my temps are killing me tho and iv set up a 4 in. home depot inline fan. watch your temps forsure and have a good fan blowing.
i think id start with 3 seeds and hope for females and maby try and lst 2 of them in that space. iv considered 2 8" square pots and trying to keep them tied downn as much as possible.
I'll be keeping an eye on your grow, please keep updating us here.
I'm in a similar situation, I have more floor space but my height is only 22", I'm also going with 2 Lowryders 2 as well. Just planted the seeds today.
All the best!
