so i made my plans today for the box setup. im going to stick with the 2x2x3 box with compact high output t5 fuorescent system. ill prlly add a couple cfls in there to finish it off. tommorow after school im plannin on goin out an grabbin some 2"x2" lumber an makin a frame. also some 1/4-1/2 plywood to start my box setup.

below is the attic space im plannin on growin out of..check the pics an tell me wat u think. its a 7'longx3.5'widex5' high space. concealed in the attic space in the wall of the room. you have to crawl all the way down till it opens up.
