My stealth dresser grow

So i have had a tupperware grow box in the past and that didn't work out so well so I got this dresser and made it into a little grow box that is seeming to be doing pretty well so far, temperatures are at 85 with lights on and get down to about 75 with lights off.

The green shroud is just a hole that air flows in, I did have a little xbox fan pushing air in but the other fan pushed too much air out and the little fan couldnt keep enough flowing in to equal out the pressure. The reasoning for the bigger fan is that i just couldn't find a smaller fan without having to drive about 30 miles to best buy to buy some but it seems to be working pretty well. Before i installed the bigger fan the temperature was getting up to 97 degrees F but now it only gets up to about 85 which is a lot better and reasonable. The lights are a T5 High output from HTGsupply, not the best in the world but it will work until i can get out and get my own place so i can set up a room with a 600-1000W HPS system. And here are a couple pics of my plant, I have been doing 12/12 since i brought it inside about 5 days ago. Lemme know what ya think, or any advice on how to make this grow a little better.

Interesting grow, sub'd. Are you going to SCROG?

I sure hope he is! As short as this is, you either have to:
  • 12/12 from seed
  • Grow an autoflower strain
  • Scrog/LST

First one won't produce much yield.

Second one isn't an optimal choice for any grower (although some autoflowering strains are now getting pretty nice. I'd recommend Easy Ryder is you choose this).

Third is gonna be the most work, but the rewards aren't even comparable to the other two.

Whatever you decide man, good luck! I really like it!

Yeah, a SCROG or LST would do well in tight space like that, ventilation might become an issue however.

Technically this is my first grow as the tupperware tub didn't work out so well and the cfl bulbs just wasn't doing it for me. I've been searching this forum and learning as much as I can and with the little space that I have I am going to LST. I'm still learning about it and the different techniques you can use but i'm still fairly new everything, any recommended ways of LST that has worked great for you guys would be appreciated. Also yes ventilation has been my biggest problem so far, it has been difficult to keep the temp down below 90 but now that i put that bigger fan in there the highest its gotten is 85.6. As for the strain this was the last bag seed that i had from some jack herer a while back.

Good luck mate! I'm a first time grower myself, not doing LST personally but I've done lots of research into it, can't wait to see your results :-)

Well i had to move my girl outside for the moment because my mom was nosing around and was wondering why there was noise coming out of my so called "safe" that i had built for my personal stuff lol. Needless to say i had to get rid of it for the moment but when i find a place to get it set back up i will continue this thread.
