First off if you want four ounces a month on CFLs in a dresser.... i would think twice lol.... my first grow was in a mid size dresser and DAMN it sucks..... are u doin hydro or soil etc.... i did hydro and had two plants and got pretty cramped and a pain in the ass to tak care off .... i would go with a two door wardrobe or something it will be better on you and your plants.... get as many lights as possible.... Find a hydro store near you they will have everything you will ever need... its my heaven

U deff cant fit enough plants to get 3-4 onces a month in a area that small...ur plants are gonna get to big for that sized space... and u can order mylar....i did its not a big deal mylar can be used for many things ur not gonna get red flagged cus u order it. On the CFL question i use 5500k-6500k bulbs for veg and then i use 2500k bulbs for flowering.....heres a good thread on CFLs learn them cus the different kinda bulbs makes a huge diff in my opinion. i tried to get as many bulbs as i could to cover the area that im growin in....the more lumens per sq foot the better id say...but with more bulbs u get more heat and in that case u need to worry bout ventilation. Heat makes a huge difference on ur plants and if it gets to hott from the bulbs it will kill them quick. Also what method do u plan on using to continually produce that much? IMO i wouldnt imagine that u could use a dresser for longer than like a month or so of growin. Because of space restrictions i dont think u will be able 2 get 3-4 ounces every month unless u get a huge dresser lol. with a height of just about 2 feet tall u would hafta make it so they grow short and fat to even fit them in there unless ur gonna use a method where u flower clones immediately after rooting them. using this method they would never get very tall but u still would need room width and length wise to fit that amount of plants... Hit me up if u have any questions.
