Another issue could be the heat, its a very small space and quite a big light. Perhaps consider CFL lights, they are less powerful but a 250w CFL would be ok for a one or two plants and a lot less hot. Whatever you do some sort of air circulation will be a good idea.

I don't want to put you off your grow, it is difinitely possible to grow a plant in there, will just take a lot of planning / reading grow journals / watching youtube
The current cabinet has a fan fitted that circulates air just fine, And i feel it would be possible, just labour full. I've done a lot of reading, Taking a general opinion I'm just gonna get a bigger cabinet. After reading, watching documentaries, watching grows, reading logs, I'm pretty well prepared for my first grow

I got the height for want i want but other that that its too narrow for me. 16? isnt quite enough to be comfy. And, im running four 4? fluoro tubes, four cfls, and two exhaust fans pushin 30 cfm and my temps hit 92 around noon. I have to set my night period between 11am - 5pm to cheat the hottest part of the day. Check out my grow log, id post a link but im on my phone, thats why its so jumbled too, sorry. Just click my name and find my threads, i got pics of my grow cab posted for u to get an idea of what im dealing w now.
Thanks man, I've took a look at your grow, It looks possible to get a nice result, but not without running into some trouble, So I'm just gonna go with a taller cabinet, about 6' tall, with a shelf.
