setup help! 140w cabinet

[The_Joker]

Im in the process of putting together my small grow cabinet, it measures 12'' deep, 30'' wide, and 36'' tall and has (2) 70w hps bulbs in it. (PICTURE ATTATCHED) Im going to paint the inside with flat white spray paint so it will be reflective. But my bulbs are about an inch maybe a little more from the roof of the cab and have no reflectors on them.

My question is that since im painting it all white inside do i still need to make a reflector for them? Or will the white paint on the top be good? If I did a reflector I would use sheet metal from home depot, whats more reflective sheet metal like aluminum or flat white paint?

Also, with this amount of space what would be the best method of growing to yield the most per grow? I was thinking either 3 plants and LST them, or SCROG. With 1' x 2.5' floor space how many plants could i fit with a SCROG? I was hoping for 2 but maybe only 1.
I want to get this up and running asap so any input will help, thank you.

Are you planning on growing in dirt, coco, or what? How are you venting out the heat?

You should swing by the 70w hps club over in the micro grows section.

I like the idea of a modular scrog so you can take the plants out for watering. Just attach a screen to each pot. It can also give you better control of how close to the light each plant gets.

To get the most from each grow you would need to do a vertical scrog. You could hang each bulb vertically from the top and build a cylinder shaped screen around each bulb. This way no light is wasted bouncing off of a reflector and goes right to the plant from every direction. You could fill the screens with two or four plants each to speed up the veg period.

Check out this guys thread. He is absolutely brilliant with small spaces and small lights.
