whats up everyone!! Im a relatively new grower an im trrying my hand at a cfl grow with LST. I have a flood/drain set up going right now too, check that out in my sig! 
-cabinet in closet 3'x3'x2'
-8 cfl in custom reflector housing
-19500 lumens. 6500k for veg, 2700k for flower
-2 4" 65 cfm ea fans
-3 jack harer clones, LST
-wish me luck
Anyways here we go: i started by building a cabinet using 3/4" mdf. 3'L x 3'H x 2'D. hinged the door, and added locks. caulked all seams and drilled a 2" hole in the top for the light wire. made 2-4" holes for intake & exhaust. intake is on the left side at the bottom and exhaust is on the right side at the top. using radio shack 120v 4"fans 65cfm each. primed and painted with latex super white industrial paint. im thinkin of lining with mylar?? but hav to drive an hour to get sum, so maybe not! haha. made the light fixture and reflector. started with a peice of aluminun hvac ducting, cut and bent into a half cirlce. put eye bolts on for hanging in conjunction with eye bolts on ceiling of cab, light will be fully ajustable so i can keep that weak cfl light as cloooose as possible! wired up single light sockets into the hood and wired them all together parallel. got "y" adapters for each socket and screwed those in. whalla! 8 cfl hood reflector thing done.
i have seperate timers for both the lights and the in/ex fans. ok over the course of 2 weeks i hav put this together . im testing the environment with nothing in it while waiting for my clones, just started the lights on 18/6 with the in /ex on30 mins -off 30 mins. just a test to see where the temps and what not get. 
wow i wrote way too much. guess thats what happens when your stoned and bored on a week end!! heres some pics! happy toking an thanks for looking

in a good way! anyone have any suggestions on the cheap for raising humidity. temps at 80F but humidity is dropping to 35% in my grow cab, ive put 2 tupperware dishes of water in there right by my intake fan? we'll see how that helps!! also im thinkin about getting a 7'x7'x7' grow tent so i can move my dirty ass basement grow to my garage where its a hell of a lot more sterile and warm (been using a heater to keep temps above 50f and humidity stays around 65% when lights off) powder mildew thrives in those conditions! any suggestions wud b greatly appreciated!
