hello , so my buddy just gave me this little cabinet and is it big enough to grow 1 or 2 plants in ?This cabinet measures 34" deep by 52" tall by 15 1/2" wide. I'm just worried about the width be only 15.5 inches. Here are a few pictures. what do you think?

Thats pretty good im no pro but with enough work u could have a nice yealding setup possibly even a perpetual box. The only prob i can see would be the width....but ive read and saw som micro setup in pc boxes, so yeah good come up.

u can do 2 plants in there. u could do 250/400 ( need cooling now ) or u can go led and just have fans (costs more)

just checked the pricing on led's. LOL im not trying to spend that much. My best bet would probably use CLF and get some good fans going in their.

yea that is another route jsut make sure u have about 250 + watts worth of bulbs and actual watts not equivalent watts

Edit: and make sure to have intake and out take fans i would use 140 cm in and 2 80cm out ( pc fan size )

52 x 34 x 15.5" is perfect for a small two plant grow.

No, 15.5" isn't very wide, but its definitely "wide enough" and as long as you train your plants to maximize the space (eg use a SCROG), you'll do very well.

I'd also suggest a 250W HPS as perfect for that space, and of course, don't forget to ventilate the box and use proper odor control.
