2013 micro cab...almost done!!

2013 micro cab...almost done!!

Building this at work with some spare stuff laying around. Hoping to get my cab going in the new year. :)

Below: This was the beginning of my cab. Found it laying around and thought...hmm..if I turn it like this I can probably grow in this thing. I was thinking of growing with cfls for a while. So when the opportunity presented itself, I had to jump on it!







Below: Here it is all assembled (for the most part). All the wires running out of the back give the interior a nice, clean look!




Below: Here is the interior. I have 2 x 120mm pc fans that pull/push 68cfm. I have them stacked because I want to put a layer of back cloth on between them to act as a light trap of sorts.





Below: And here is the front door. It's just 2 pieces of rigid cardboard hot-glued together. It's pretty sturdy and does the job, so why screw with it. I have a passive intake at the bottom of the door, which I also have to put a layer of black cloth over for light trapping purposes and a roll of sticky double sided velcro to keep the front door on.




I ordered and received my seeds a while ago, but they're ready to go anytime I want.
I have the following strains:

10 x reg. - nirvana - white rhino
10 x reg. - nirvana - northern lights
1 x fem. - reserva privada - headband
Freebies:
1 x fem - ch9 seeds - jack
1 x fem. - ch9 seeds - vintage 2006

anyone have any good runs with any of these strains??

Dammit...I should have added more info. It's 11"L x 9"W x 26"H. That's why I have the 2 power bars...I can run vertical scrog or scrog or sog...so I think it works out. I can fit 9 X 600ml. bottles or 4 X 3" x 3" pots or 1 X 4 gallon pot. I figured I would try and make it as versatile as possible. I plan on running 2 X 42w and 1 X 23w cfls when in full flower and maybe 1 or 2 of the 42w cfls when vegging. The 2 X 42w will be 2700k and the 23w will be the 5500k. Any thoughts or ideas of how I can maximize yield would be greatly appreciated!!
