hi guys, long time lurker here, 1st post so go easy on me! :-)

Ok so here's the plan.....

Was going to try some fem auto lowryders to start, or a hearty type seed that can handle the care of a novice.
been looking at various threads on here and the info given is awsome, some of you guys come up with some cracking ideas and work arounds

ive got a chest of drawers that im starting to prep. Cant go with a high tent as it has to be low n stealthy (it now looks just like a under counter tool/bits drawer unit)
its 5 drawers high total is 36" wide by 15" deep x 40" high, the backs & bottoms of the 5 drawers have been removed ready for sealing up and hinge-ing for front access.

I am based nw UK, it gets wet here often (its fkin raining now!) and were still waiting for our 2012 summer!!
It will be kept in a wooden shed situated about 10 meters away from the house (leccy is wired there already).
Ive had a temp/humid meter in the shed 24hrs or so on top of unit to get an idea of shed's internal T&H.
Left it 24 Hrs to settle and day1 is varying from 81-91 Humidity and temps 13C - 18c daytime. unsure at night at the moment, but will keep track. at a guess id say outdoors temps now here would be 7c/8c/9c and its 1am.

Obviously i need to insulate and mylar, and it is possible to run intake/outake to the shed or to outside of the shed if required.
having read up on here im leaning towards trying it with CFL's, but am unsure as to which way to do it?
a big 125w/200w or several 23w/45w/50w 'ers, but how many??

I want to try to plan as best as i can, so will read up nightly and will crack on with it next week once ive finished fixing my car.

So i have a fairly limited size blank canvas to start with (with possible heat n humid problems),

Do you guys have any recomendations/tips before i start butchering the box????
