*Pics & Specs* "The Baked Potato" cheap vegging setup. Comments? Suggestions?

Sorry for the apparent repost, I figure I'd clean up my previous post and add full specifications. The tent Is built from a 5x5 Metal frame with Mylar "Emergency" heating blankets lining the inside, and out. There is also no HID lighting in this setup, my goal was to try to be as cost-effective as possible. Here's what I spent.

$20 for the mylar, They come in 3 dollar packages, I got about 6.
$25 for the main fixture and 2 40'' bulbs.
$20 for the smaller fixture and the 20' bulb.
$15 for the shop light fixtures and reflectors.
$15 for the CFL's for those fixtures (27w)
$10 worth of duct-tape and Nylon rope, Rope being used to hang the fixture and tie the 2 curtains in front closed.

Here is a diagram of the finished product.


There are 9 plants all about 7' tall at this point and a healthy deep green. Real pictures of the plants to come, as well as the setup, I just could not get the right angles with my camera.

This is my first setup, I realize for flowering I'm going to need HID lighting, which I plan on getting for my second "baked potato" which I will be building soon.

So....how's my setup?

that is sick thanks

No problem, It's not the ideal setup, But it's a good way to get started. The lights i'm using are not IDEAL but they do the trick, I'm going to add a bunch more CFL's when I get the money. I'm glad my design could help, It's a good way of turning a old shelf or cabinet into a grow area if you don't wanna use or can't vent a closet.
