CFL SOG in small Cabi

here's the current plan, inspired by Dr.BudGreenGenes!

I'm working in a small chest of drawers, roughly 15"x15"=1.5 sq.ft. 15"High
[For those of you with a rational numbering system, that's 38cm x 38cm = 0.1444m². 40cm high]​
Planning to SOG 15+ plants in plastic cups. Should I use a screen? What is the benefit? Should any trimming be done in a SOG? I'm under the impression that I should trim the side branches/leaves to retain only the main cola of each plant, but I'm not sure on it. I assume topping/fimming is out, of course.

I currently have:
4x 26w, 1600 lumen, 6500K daylight CFL bulbs
1x 18", 15w, 590 lumen, 5000K daylight fluorescent tube

Total 118w, 6990 lumens,
equaling 76W/sq.ft, 4660 lumens/sq. ft
Plan is to veg only to a few inches, (almost, if not actually immediately) flowering right away. Would I be better suited to switch my CFLs to a more red-spectrum (2700k "Soft White") for the entire grow, and just use these daylight CFLs for cuttings/rooting clones? Perhaps I should get a pair of Soft Whites and use two SW and two DL?

What can I do about a carbon scrubber for (very) small grows?

go with both spectrum throughout the entirety flower and veg and you will be fine.

check out this carbon scrubber i got off of ebay(link). I use it for my small closet with great success.

much luck
