First Attempt At Grow...NEED HELP

[ubonicChronic]

Hey this is my first attempt at growing and this is what my set up is so far.... i know it needs to be changed but this is what i have to work with. My "treasure chest" is roughly 3.5ft Long X 1.5ft Wide X 2.2ft Tall. I have a small rubbermaid box in there now with a hole cut out of the top and the grow light as shown in the pic. I ordered 2 105 watt CFL's at 5000k for veg and 2 105 watt CFL's at 2700k for flowering. I have a splitter that i plan to use both bulbs in that grow light. I know the plant is going to outgrow that rubbermaid box. Now i can fit a bigger sized one in the chest but unfortunatley i dont have the room to stack two of them. I also want to add a carbon fliter into my box somehow maybe into a bigger rubbermaid and im also going to line it with foil tape. Does anyone have any ideas or reccomendations for me? Any help/input/advice is GREATLY appreciated. THANK YOU!

I say dump the rubbermaid and just use the wood chest! Line it with white plastic and cut the vents on the backside. Hide the carbon scrubber/air exhaust (computer fan driven) under the bed and mount the lights in the lid. It's perfect! Use the rubbermaid in a closet for a mini veg chamber.

thanks so much for your input im def taking that into consideration...the only thing is im hesitant to cut into the chest its pretty thick oak wood and i know itd be a pain in the butt

Im also thinking of just finding the biggest rubbermaid i can find that will fit in the chest and attatch a carbon filter
