i would love to grow, but i'm not sure as to what would be my best plan of attack. i plan on building a cabinet of some sort/size/shape. i have the following four options:

O1 (W: 60in/152.4cm D: 20in/50.8cm H: 55in/139.7cm)
* 8.3ft² / 1,200in² / 7,741.92cm²
* 38.194ft³ / 66,000in³ / 1,081,546.22cm³

O2 (W: 72in/182.88cm D: 48in/121.92cm H: 55in/139.7cm)
* 24ft² / 3,456in² / 22,296.73cm²
* 110ft³ / 190,080in³ / 3,114,853.13cm³

O3 (W: 36in/91.44cm D: 36in/91.44cm H: 42in/106.68cm)
* 9ft² / 1,296in² / 8,361.27cm²
* 31.5ft³ / 54,432in³ / 891,980.67cm³

O4 (W: 72in/182.88cm D: 48in/121.92cm H: 50in/127cm)
* 24ft² / 3,456in² / 22,296.73cm²
* 100ft³ / 172,800in³ / 2,831,684.66cm³

these are the dimensions i can work with. ideally i'd like to run a little ebb&flow setup inside one of these, possibly running a bunch of minis. if that seems unfeasible to anybody, soil would be my fallback. but again, running smaller plants probably 12/12 straight from rooted clones. i've seen some people run 12/12 straight from clone and they end up with like 1.5-2.5 foot tall plants that yield anywhere up to like 2oz.. usually closer to like .5oz a plant though. that kind of grow would be perfect for me. what kind of lighting would i need? i've seen CFL growers get about 2oz from a plant with less than 100w. should i go the CFL route since i'm only looking to grow minis? or should i try a small HPS (250/400)? ideally i'd like to grow 6-8 mini plants. getting like .5oz-1oz per plant would be awesome. i'm sick of wasting my money on the garbage passed off as dank around here. any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
 
Well m8 less is sometimes more in regards to the number of plants i personly would check the space for a 4 pot wilma system (cheep as chips on www.progrow.com ) and some sort of hps lamp but with good ventlation due to the heat, the wilma system is a compact unit and works wonders and with a 4 pot system your plants would reward you greatly with that extra bit of space and with some careful topping and trimming you will get more from 4 than ya would of 8 cramed in there, i found out the hard way over filling my space.
But what ever you decide to do good luck m8
 
Strain Hunter, you just made my day! this wilma setup was the exact kind of thing i was looking for. i also just passed along the info to a friend of mine and he turned around and ordered one right away for himself. my cab's built. now i just need my air-cooled light setup and i'm ready to grow. thanks again for the info SH!
