Hello all. I have enjoyed reading alot of your posts, and learning from your experiences. I think I am now ready to try out a cabinet grow box. Any tips would be appreciated. i am likely to start with clones, and would like to grow at the given space's highest potential. (I do not want to overcrowd too much) In case I ramble, I made the questions bold.

Here is the cabinet style I have in mind.

Basically I want to make it completely air tight with woodglue/silicone at every joint. The main storage area would be the grow area. I was planning on using the other storage area for filteration, so that everything was self contained.

I was going to use a scrubber type filter system, and exhaust it out through the back of the cabinet. Intake would be passive, also placed in the rear of the cabinet. This cabinet will be placed against the corner of the room, diagonally, to give room for flow, and wiring. Any suggestions on exhaust fan cfm needed? I was hoping to just use some 150cfm computer fans, but do I need more than 1?

I am not sure what type of lighting to use, but I assume I will make a way so that it can be adjusted as the plants grow. Any recommendations here?

Watering, can I do this manually?

Aluminized paint on all the inside walls. Possibly velcro for the cabinet door, for a really tight box?

How many plants do you think I can get in this?

Any input, recommendations, comments, etc. will be appreciated.

Thanks!
