I'm planning an attic grow inside a cabinet I will be building. Due to low ceiling beams in the attic, I can either build a cabinet that is 53" tall (external dimension) and 24" deep, or one that is under 40" tall and 50-60" deep. Either one would be about 60" wide.

In other words, I can choose between these W x H x D options:

60 x 53 x 24" OR 60 x 40 x 50"

I'm going to be using CFLs, at least for my first grow in the cabinet, so I'm tempted to say shorter and deeper is better, but I was hoping for input. Thoughts?
