The Situation:
I have a side-by-side refrigerator that currently does not work, but I can't do any damage (i.e. cut vent holes) to it because its going to get fixed eventually.

The Box:
Approximate Interior Dimensions (for the side we're using for this):
59" tall (we'll call it 5ft)
18" wide
24" deep

So that's 3sq ft on the bottom, and according to a post in the lighting section, I want 5000lumens/sq ft which is 15,000lumen total.

I'm going with store bought CFLs. I have two in there right now at 1600lumens each (I know, not enough, don't worry I'll get more pretty soon). I'll get a few every week or so until I have 10, and the last few will be 2700k rather than the 6500Ks that I'm currently buying.

Big hurdle: Ventilation. Currently we can't fix the fridge (we're broke), and its not a huge deal because we don't actually NEED it right now (we have a working one in the kitchen, and a mini one in my room to hold a few more drinks or whatever) But... I can't damage it in such a way that would prevent it from being used as a fridge anymore... non-negotiable, we have to work around it. I do have everything taken out of it (shelves, drawers, etc) so it's pretty empty inside, lots of room for growth. But I can't change the air in there every five minutes manually, that's for sure.

I've been brainstorming a bit, and the only hope, as it seems right now, is to build a wall to replace the door. I can take the door off no problem. It will be easily sealed with magnets just like the current door. and I'll just have to put both the exhaust and intake holes there. Maybe even add some ducting to bring one of them to a more opposite point in the overall box to aide in the moving of air. Can I get some opinions on this?

Second thing is, I have a reflector which works fine for the two bulbs in there now, but very soon 2 will be 4, 6, etc, and the reflector is honestly just for one bulb, So I'm going to follow suit and build my own reflector. I estimate I'll put a good 10 bulbs in there. I can do that pretty good with about 5 sockets and 5 splitters under a tub spray painted white. Should I wire them in series or parallel? I think parallel, but I don't wanna fuck that up.

The Botanists:
*botanist term used very loosely
This is my first grow (Aside of putting some seeds in the woods to see where that can get me, and forgetting where I put em!), and the guy who's helping me has done it once before, but with incandescent bulbs, almost no results.

The genetics aren't anything to talk about, just some seeds I got out of a bag. My main goal is experience and maybe some free smoke.
