Alright well let me see if ive got this setup just about right. 4-6 flourecent lamps, stackable bookshelf with 6in mini shelf to keep it somewhat close to light source, good potting soil, pots rangeing from sprouting to full growth, and i find a way to route a fan ill go take some pics and show u the room i plan on useing. I also have another unexspected issue that i found today chuck which is my gfs step dad he doesnt really like lights being on all the time which is ok during the day u cant tell but at he darker evening hours u can tell and he would def shut off the light which would RUIN my light situation and if thos flourensents raise the bill hill def notice theres many problems that could ruin my grow ideas which is discouraging me. Enought of the boring stuff hers the pics

1)Shelf to ceiling (ruffly 2 1/2 ft)
2)What im doing right now(obviously bad please dont insult)
3)Magazine showing the depth of the shelf
4)Full pic of the room from the outside
5)The cups im trying to sprout in right now

This is what im working with i know i should and probaly will put a box around it when i get my flouresents so that might solve my light issues from the outside and will find a box to use thinking maybe just 3 sides front and sides back being just the wall im not shooting for super tall plants maybe using the 2 and half feet i have to work with until they hit the lights hope they can bud in that short of a distance.
