Quick quesitons before i start.

Ok so the main question is do you think a 13"x23"x40" dresser is to small? I plan on using 4 CFL lights, a mix of 3 to 1 blue/yellow depending on stage. One light on each side and 2 on top a few inches above the plant. I will have 1 PC fan for an exhaust, probably around 2000rpm and 1 less powerful intake fan. I don't know what to use as reflective material as i hear mylan is somewhat expensive and i want to keep the price low for my first grow.

Really all i want to know is do you think this space is big enough for 1 or 2 plants and do you see and flaws in my design. Will the temp be controlled properly?

Also, can anyone suggest a good seed that will fit in the small space and easy to grow? Priorities for first grow for seeds is easiness>quality>yield.

Any help would be awesome, thank you!

I reckon you could see a flower through, but even then it would have to be small, grow small and consequently, yield small, making the whole thing worth it? You could fit two, but come flowering I'm not sure what you're going to do etc.

You will have problems with heat using the four CFL lights in a compact space as long as you can keep it under 85F you will do okay you should add another intake fan for cooling the lights as far as space you should start 12/12 from seed that room should be enough for two plants grown under 12/12 from seed.

Thanks, If need be i can add an extra exhaust and/or intake fan and that should probably do it. I just hope 4 lights is enough for 2 plants.

first thought poly plastic (panda film) its black on one side white on other works good on reflecting light. its about 10 bucks for a 10x10 sheet. an im gonna add dont use cfls spend around 60 bucks an get a hps imo 150 watts or smaller for your situation. as far as seeds go get anything thats 100% indica if possible or something atleast indica dom go to a seed website an look around. but in a 40in space though you may be able to get a nice cola type plant like a white widow or something similar but going in to sativas comes difficult plants imo. have a growtastic day
