Thanks for the tips, I sorta understand now. I sappose it would be better if I told you what kinda set-up I'll be doing. I've changed designs yet again and I think I'll stick with this...

I'm gonna hid my micro box grow in speaker stands. I have some book shelf speakers that I can set ontop. Basic size, 4' tall, 2' deep, and 2' across. I love to wood working and think I can really make this look like a nice piece of furniture with the sheets of birch vaneer plywood I have.

Anyways, I'll be using cfl's. One, maybe two of those 150w 5900 lumen bulbs and two oder bulbs. Minus the router cuts and thickness of the plywood, I'm figuring on about 3sq ft of screen. Give or take some. Want some space around the screen for good air flow. The cfl's will be on a movable shelf so I can keep them right above the canopy. Oh, and I'll mount them horizonally with mylar above and on the sides of the inside.

I could go into more detail if you need, but basically I'm looking to grow one plant at time in a bubbler. That should give me enough for myself, wife and some left over for entertaining guests, eh?
