After waiting all week, I was able to get my new "TV hutch" delivered. Close to 2ft x 4ft, about 5 ft tall. I'm stoked and happy as I'm setting up. I have the beans, and the 400w led. Now just waiting for a long list of essentials from Amazon.
Can I make my intake holes at the very bottom, going below. I have about 4 inches of clearance below. Will that be enough airflow for intake?

I'm using the 4in cloud series ACI. Im going with flat white paint. Taking care of that today. I'm gonna be going with fox farm soil to start. Just because I'm a bit anxious to get started. But will definitely be moving towards a caring and loving super soil
I'm 100% open to hearing any tips before I get basketballs deep in this . Thanks for reading this far, too.

P.S. I have both photos and autos for beans. Starting with the autos, cuz, you know, a little anxious

Check out coco for cannabis for training tutorials. Got an idea if you are going organic or salts for feeding?

You might be able to fit a 2x4 tent in there. That will solve any upcoming escaping light leak issues. Light-proofing cupboards/wardrobes etc can be a pain in the ass sometimes. And you wont need to paint.

At this point. I've already bought supplies and diverted available funds. This is a great idea and may wish in the future that I went this route.

Aside from the ocean forest, I want to head towards organic. That's a rabbit hole I've only just begun going down. But for this round of growing, I'm attempting to minimize any added nutrients needed.

Which would be better? 2 - 4in holes for intake. Or this rectangle panel. Either way I go, I'm planning on putting intake in the floor, drawing air from the 4 inch clearance between the armoire and floor.

The panel looks good, though 2x 4" holes on opposite sides of the floor don't sound bad either. Have you ordered any filter material to trap under the panel, or whatever you were going to use on the holes if you went that route?
Also I wanted to add: You may want to lay a piece of cardboard down under the Armoire for any dust to settle on. You can easily slide it out, and clean it off. You don't want that getting sucked up into your grow space.

I'm able to cut this to size. It was the best option available. I was going for something with carbon
