what size closet are you working with. and please explain your 3 dimensions. l x w x h?

you shouldn't so much worrry how tall you can get your plant because CFLs have terrible penetration. so the top of the plants will bud nicely but the underneath will suffer greatly unless you use some kind of supplemental lighting. your plant will grow as tall as you let it veg ( i assume, and you know what that does) if you keep the lights on it. you'd be better off working with smaller plants that will require basically no veg (2 weeks if a clone, a week of two longer from seed) and will bascially turn into bud on a stick if you don't LST or top or something.

you want a minimum of 5000 lumens per sq foot.

Budget/Refrigerator grow 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.
