Okay so! My roommate and I wanna grow a few seeds of mine up in our attic. Temps at night right now get to like 60 if outside its 46-55 area. During the summer it can get up to 80 degrees in there so heat will be a problem later. I'm going to put a list of things I wanna get and the dimensions and I'd love some feedback on either things I need to get that aren't listed, growing techniques to fit my box's dimensions, tools i should get, or anything else. We are pretty tight for money and we wont be able to grow until I can get the cash for my growers license. Also, about the lights.... We can only afford CFL's for our first grow so unless you wanna send money my way for a HPS or something CFL's are our only option.
Box Dimensions
50" wide x 62" long x 40" tall.
or..
4'2" wide x 5'2" long x 3'4" tall.
Board Dimensions
(2) 25"x40"
(2) 62"x40"
(2) 62"x50"
(1) 50"x40"
2"x2" Dimensions
(4) 40" long
(4) 62" long
(4) 30" long
The 2x2's will be the frame. My question here is should the 2x2's be shorter because of the (we"ll say plywood for now) plywood being screwed in on top making it too big? Because the dimensions are ALL the space we can have.
The 25"x40"-ers are going to be the doors, so the box looks like a really deep cabinet in the attic.

Supplies
I'm really excited to start this project but my friend wants to be absolutely sure about everything. I want, to start off, 6 lights on the ceiling of the box, and 4 lights, two on each side to get some side light action. Later, however, I want a total of 7 lights on the ceiling and 8 lights, with four on each side. Where should I place the lights? If you could maybe try and post a diagram that would be extremely helpful. If you didn't figure it out, we will be doing a soil grow with a lot of arm space, and a little height space. Any methods to keep stretch to a minimum would be greatly appreciated.
