Just getting started

Hi there! Finally decided to start growing for myself. I purchased a 250w hps light with remote ballast. My next step is to buy a cabinet to make into a grow box. After doing tons of reading i cant decide on the dimensions i want my box to be.

The cabinet i was looking at has the dimensions: 71-3/4 in. H x 48 in. W x 20-1/2 in. D - might be a tad overkill but it can be sectioned off easily for seperate veg area.

My only concern is how deep it is. Will 20 inches be ok?

I only plan on flowering 1 plant at a time(havent decided on scrog or lst yet) till i can redo my basement. I am also trying to have the box as stealth as i can while having the optimal dimensions for a flower area including pots for a 250w hps.

That brings me to my second question : What size pots for flowering should i use?

Any help would be appreciated!

Figure out how big you plan for your initial plant to be, or if you plan to use the box for more than one grow, plan ahead.
Once you figure out an approximate size for your grow, give yourself an extra 2' of height, and at least an extra foot all the way around.
