r/SpaceBuckets

I have an old oak cabinet in my garage I would like to convert into a stealth grow. I am in the process of cleaning, sealing cracks, and painting the inside flat white. I will be adding magnetic door latches and some rubber seals for light/smell mitigation. There is no middle divider.

Inside Dimensions: 20" deep, 22" tall, 72" wide.

Dropping 2x 5 gallon sip buckets through the floor so I will have almost all of the 22" from floor to ceiling.

Adding 2x 4" passive air inlets through the bottom floor as well with some duct flanges and flexible dryer ducting.

Purchasing an AC Infinity 4" vent/filter combo kit and an internal fan for air circulation.

I just can't settle on a light(s). I think I need something low profile so I can maximize the internal space. I have been so close to pulling the trigger on a SuperGreenLab Ninja Bundle but I don't know if it is enough power. I have also considered the SpiderFarmer SF1000 2 Pack or an 8 pack of the SpiderFarmer Light Bars.

The plan is to grow autos and or photos in both buckets with a screen of green from seed to harvest in one setup. I do have another box I plan to convert to a flower tent down the road but not for at least a year or so. I want to start with this setup first and make sure it works to me and then expand. I am not looking for maximum extreme harvest. I am just growing for personal use and my state allows for personal growing.

Any and all help and opinions would be greatly appreciated. It should be noted that the garage is not temp controlled and I live in growing zone 6B. I plan to grow in the cabinet year round.
