Very nice for 40 bucks.. lol. Looks thick as hell so you could beef up the lights with proper air flow. I need to ditch my rubbermaids for something like that!

i plan on using atleast 60 watts per plant for vegetation..and definately upgrade to atleast 100 watts per plant. ive used neptunes fish and sea weed fertilizer for all of my prior grows( roughly 10-12 plants in total over the years) but i really want to try some foxfarm nutes,considering that their soil is so god damn rich!!.. definately going to pick up some FF ocean forest this week. cant fuckin wait

If you have the space where you are going to put that cabinet, IMO you should mount the exhaust going out the top, not the back. Speaking from experience, on the back you need to put too many bends in the duct work (that is if you are hooking up any ducts to the exhaust fans) and this drastically slows the CFM of your fans. I had some immediate heat issues with 6 X 23W cfls in a cabinet about the same size and once I moved shit to the top, no problems at all. Also make sure you have twice as much exhaust as intake. Intake can be passive.
These are just my thoughts based on what I have experienced. Cabinet looks great and I am sure you will get it dialed in in no time. Good Luck.
Peace
