I have a theoretical question about cabinet growing

[Truami]

I'm theorizing on how much space would be required to grow 3 to 5 75% indica/25% sativa plants, as well as the best amount of lighting. Yielding the maximum amount of herb.

If you get bored i'm also wondering if say someone might have a list of general supplies to construct such a cabinet as well.

Just theorizing....

best to use hid lighting @ 50 watts per square foot or more
600 watt=3x4 area most hid lighting wants 6' or higher for heat
aircooled lights, a great inline exhaust fan and carbon filter

cant say how many plants cause dont know your grow style you can accomplish

read from the links in sig

well if I were to grow, personally i'd probly grow in a wardrobe sized cabinet that can be placed in my room in my apartment....CFL seem like the reasonable thing to be using in such a situation due to inexperience and cost budgets.

As for grow style I would think about going lower to the ground and attempting Low-Stress or going with Top/FIM

If I were to do LST it would probly be more in a medium sized cabinet, just would need appropriate dimensions for such an area for aproxi 3-5 plants.

Would CFL be a good choice? For a primarily indica strain would Topping also be more advised?
