I've never taken plants all the way through flowering in the cab, although I guess you could. You'll have to LST a lot, and start flowering early...when the plants are, like, 9 inches. (You don't actually get 32" of grow room out of these cabs...you lose a couple of inches at the bottom, and about 5" at the top for lights.) Add in the amount of soil below a flowering plant, and you really end up having to keep plants around 15-18" tall.

Yeah that is the only problem I forgot to think of all the factors like the light tallness etc etc, maybe because I was blazed. Ohh well. I think it will be a pretty decent yield. I might move the plants out if they get too big to fit or if I think that the cabinet is just going to be too small.
