Um...anyway (nice box, super stealthy), there could be some problems I see. I did a grow in space like this before, but now like Synik4L I like my closet. Those 42 watters get kinda hot, and will probably need a larger fan. Obviously you want to use the larger space for flowering so you'll be able to fit that. Find something that will fit nicely in the corner or something. If your using 42 watts for vegging, don't use many, or simply use 23 watters to lower the overall heat of the box. You wont need much light for vegging because you aint growing no 3 foot tall plant this time. I would recomend aiming to have at least 6-8 inches of open space above your plants in your flowering chamber just so that fan can push the air around. So account for the size of your pots, and how tall you expect the plant to be. You may know this already but your plant will be too big, unless you prune it. You'll need to ty-down, or simply top the plant. I would just top the thing twice and get 4 tops, seems easiest, and you get a plant that is bushy, and small in stature, but still a good producer. To make it worthwhile pack a few plants close together, you could maybe fit 4-8. You want to create an SOG (sea of green). In case you are a little confused about what a plant that has been topped twice looks like, I included a pic. Although the one pic is just of how my setup works, you could see more under "CFL Wrap Around" in cfl growing forums of course. The only thing I'm confused about is why is all you ventilation for the smaller chamber right now? You wern't going to flower in the small one were you? And what the heck is that black mass of cables shooting upward?

PS. can you send me your Metal Halid system please? I really want to try one. jk (unless you really want to?)
