Speaking from experience.. I built a 4.5' tall box.. combined with 250w HID.

I found it the height to be less then optimum.. You have to consider the heat put off by the light and the distance you'll need

to keep the light away from the plants. Unless you're just vegging for a short period I'd try to increase the height to 5' minimum.

Better to do it right the first time then twice :)

I am a CFL grower myself, but if I'm not mistaken, during research you want 3' +/- between plant tops and light. Correct me if I'm wrong ther, but using those numbers and taking 6" off for thickness of your light and minimum 6" off for the height of your containers. This (3' distance between plants light, 6" for the light, and 6" for containers for a total of 4') leaves you no room to grow. I, as a new grower, think I would want a MINIMUM of 6' in height and then I would LST them. My 2 cents.
