I'm on a slight budget but I wish to use thithis cabinet I have in my garage (pictures attached) in which I want to set up a CFL grow op. I was planning on using the following set up: -LST/Bent mother plants & veg on the top horizontal shel (4'x1.5'x1.5) -clones on the bottom left shelves (2'x1.5'x1') -flower on the bottom right cabinet (4'x1.5'x1.5') I was wondering what suggestions you guys have for ventilation and hanging the cfls in there. I already know to clean it very well and seal it up so no light leaks out, but I'm not making a move until I have all my supplies. Thanks guys, much appreciated.
You sound very new (no offence obviously). You can't be having multiple mothers if your flower space is 3 cubic feet, the logistics would not work. Try just growing a plant from seed and flowering it out before you go crazy. I don't know your budget but try to get a ~200 watt HPS/MH and grow 1 or 2 plants in there. There's no point stretching your budget to the point where nothing is done well.
I agree with that it sounds like a aweful lot going on in one cab. Maybe strip that cab for veg/flower and find another for the other. More space yield.
