Infected's Indoor Cab

Hey guys, so after many many months of reading on here and having a major urge to grow, I've finally picked up my sack and found some dough to start this project.

It took a while to find a decent cabinet, but eventually I came across this. It is 47" wide, 23" tall and 20" deep.

Yesterday I picked up some flat white paint. I still need to pick up another can of spray paint to touch up the right hand side and finish off the left.

I'm hoping to have this cabinet finished by the end of the month so I can germ my seeds. I'm still not sure whether I want to do a scrog or go for a SOG. SOG is going to be easier, especially if I have two separate chambers for veg and flower.

Something I wanted to know, having a seperate veg and flower chamber, is it vital to have a carbon scrubber in the veg chamber?

I plan to use 8 x 20w CFL lamps. 20w is the highest my country has for consumers at a reasonable price. What would be the best configuration for lights in my cabinet? 4 each on opposite sides, or more of a U configuration?

Sorry no new updates yet. Been away from home for a little while. Unfortunately I'm going to have to delay my grow.

The cabinet construction will continue, but I can't germ yet as I'm having a slight falling out with a roommate. I do not want to risk them wanting to make my plans public.

Unless you are legal, I personally worry about the SOG method. It does increase yield in the short term, but scrog can effectively increase yield as well.

The big difference, is that if you ever do, god forbid, get popped, you have far more plants with the SOG, which equals harsher penalties.

So is a little extra yield in the short term future worth the extra time?
