You def. want more head room. you can always lst your plants but you will want the extra room up top for flowering. And going cheep on lighting will give you cheep results. the only advice i can give is get the most lumens you can with what ever you choose to use. everything else is pretty much covered in here. Im assuming you know which bulbs to buy, blue spec. for veg, red spec for flower, other then that its preference and what fits/works. CFLs are cheap and produce very very little heat, in a small cab there a must.
JackdaWack Reviewed by JackdaWack on . Heres what I have to work with, what can I do? I have 4 CFLs for the time being, about 500 watts total. 2 2700K, and 2 5100K. I have about 8,000 lumens to work with. I have a possible grow cab - measurements are 14.75DX27wX27T. What do you guys think I could work out with a simple small - beginner setup like this? Rating: 5
