I do understand that height will be a concern and I will definitely be doing some tying down. I'm picking NL which is indica dominant and also has low odor.

I am growing at home with the rents. They know I smoke and don't care as long as they don't see it or smell it. *tangent* I planted a bud seed in my mom's indoor garden when I was in 7th grade and they made me flush it 2 weeks later when they found out, maybe this is my destiny, lol. But really, my main concern is odor as they are never in my room.

The budget for building just the cabinet is a bottle of Jim Beam. GF's dad is a handyman and bartered to build it for us, hah. That really only leaves me to buy the 250W HPS (http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?a...=2&prevstart=0 perhaps this?), fans, etc. My project budget is spending as little as possible but still have everything I need.

I'll be grateful if you can draw up some plans as I know yours will be better than mine, judging by experience.
