stealth grow w/ pics!

regular clothes dresser... gutted

i use the shelf bracing that was in the dresser to adjust my plant platform height rather than adjusting the lights, they are stationary, this grow will be very small since there isnt much space, especially during budding

14 23w cfls, on timer for 18 on 6 off (veg)

dual 100 cfm fan, pulls fresh air from bottom under plants and exhausts heat/air thru back of dresser... thermostat controlled, fan shuts down if temp falls below 65' and lights turn off above 90' as a little safety margine, i dont want my babies burning up or a FIRE!

any suggestions on how i can make it better?
comments? even if they hurt my feelings i'm a big boy i can take it hahaha

That setup looks pretty cool. What kind of fan setup is that? Are you going to step up to higher wattage cfl'swhen the plants get bigger?

thats a fuckin sweet cfl setup. im impressed. if your trying to keep it stealth though, the exhaust will start to send out skunky odors soon. what do you have planned for that? carbon filter?

you will need more lighting for flower.

why not get the y splitters and have twice the light.

i dont use cfls just my 2 cents, and i thought they put off better light on a horizontal mount ?

regardeless of any lighting deficiency, thats a badass build

thanks for the feedback guys... i still need to make a reflector of some sort for the cfl's... this is only a veg cabinet, i'm planning on getting maybe around 8" - 10" tall then sticking them under my hps... i'm slow on getting the closet build right now but will hopefully have that setup before these little guys get too big
