I decided to put together my own cabinet together so I could grow.

First thing I have to say is - it's probably five times harder than I thought it would be to put together the cabinet. I bought a 400 HPS light but it got way too hot in that cabinet. I wanted to be able to sleep at night so I took it out. I went ahead and put 12 CFL's in there and it's a LOT cooler. It gives me around 20,000 lumens. I also put a duct fan in there that does 500 CFS. I might go ahead and try the 400 watt HPS.
