You picked up on my meaning first try.
Donāt be hard on yourself now.
I got my cabinet sanded and primed today. I also built the door jam so I can get it light tight. I have decided to go with the horizontal lighting, but I have a little something extra Iāll through in there for kicks. 
Iāll caulk and paint it this week. Then Iāll have to put on the door, seal the bottom, put up the reflectix, and mount the electronics to the back.

As far as re-using the driver, you might be able to use it wired serial (I recommend parallel generally for systems of less than 6 strips.) But it would at the low end of the stripās operating voltage, check it first.
As for vertical mounting, youāll need good ventilation at the top of your cab to keep the SolStrips from overheating at their upper ends. Heat will rise up the aluminum back of the strip, concentrating at the top end. I would recommend horizontal or even 45 degree mounting over vertical generally.

The driver had no problem running in series at around 600 mA. I decided against the vertical for other, similar reasons. Thanks

I have basically completed the basic build of my cab.
Today I aquired the following:
Power Strip for the cab (no outlet close to where I wanted to place it)
Digital Timer for the light. (doesnāt have a light sensor, i hate those)
1.25" PVC Elbows for light traps
Flat black spray paint for light traps.
All thatās left is installing the PVC elbows (holes already drilled)
and a final caulking/paint touchup.
Then I get to try and design my Micro PPK system. This should be fun! For those of you whom donāt know, the PPK system takes several aspects of popular hydro styles and combines them. PPK Stands for Passive Plant Killer. Donāt let the name fool you, iāve seen people grow trees with this system without much work at all.
I suck at describing things but you can read all about it Here.
Edit: All credit goes to Delta9 (as far as I know he is the person who put this system together. All the concepts have been around for ages but he was the one to put them all together I think.)
Basically to me it combines RDWC/NFT/Flood and Drain and makes for a really simple system once you get it setup.
Wish me luck everyone I hope to have something to show you guys this weekend.

My goal is 50 grams or 1 gram per watt. Letās see how close I can make it.
Depends on how much light you have as energy = bud, well up to a point anyways.
My bucket possibly 40+g if things go smooth, being 0.55sqft
But as @ReikoX 1Gram a watt would be nice.
To be honest, if I hit 1 gram per watt, it will be my best grow ever. I usually hover around the 0.5-0.7 range.
