Well, yes, that's the point -- I want to build the biggest box I can in whatever dimension should be biggest. I can either build all the way to the roof, but squeeze it between two ceiling beams that are 24" apart, or I can make it short enough to fit underneath the beams (which are 40" high), but then as wide and deep as I want (up to about 60", when it runs into the A/C duct work).

As I said, I think I'm going to build the flowering chamber under the 40" high beams, and put the clone/mother chamber on top. That way, only it will be squeezed between the beams, and the flowering chamber can spread out low as a sog or scrog.
ourkansaw Reviewed by ourkansaw on . Which is more important, the height or the depth of the cabinet? 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, Rating: 5
