I have found that I am going start alot sooner than expected, originally I was going to start mid March, but now it should be mid February!
The Grow Box Home - First of all, the dimensions of this area are 5 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 8 feet high. I will not be using the full closet really at all. I will be performing a micro grow, very similar to thorn and ak.
Grow Box - I will be using a 22 gallon rubber maiden box (with a lid)
Lights - I will be picking up a 6 pack of 26watt CFL's...only plan on using three, but who knows! I will attach them to a 3 bulb light fixture which I will attach at the top of the box, the lights will hang vertically from there. Also will have a 70 watt HPS for flowering...same place as the CFL's, will just remove the CFL's.
Ventallation - I will be using computer fans to keep air moving with in the rubber maiden. I will be ordering 10 80mm fans, I will most likely only use 2-4, but it is cheaper to buy 10 then it is to buy 4, go figure. These will be attactched to an AC adapter, yattah yattah yattah. 2 of the fans(intake) will be located on the lid, on either side of the light fixture, to make sure my lights stay nice and cool. Also 1-2 on the lower side of the rubber maiden to insure strong stems! 1 fan will be used for exhaust to help get all the stagant air out, etc.
The Smell - To help the smell, the exhaust fan will be leading to a carbon filter. This I have a few questions on that I will ask later. I will be following this model http://boards.cannabis.com/growroom-setup/90173-how-carbon-filter.html. That should easily take care of the smell of 1-2 plants.
Pots / Soil / Nutrients - No idea what size pots I will use, guess I will wait till after the construction for that. I have some very rich organic soil laying around, which I may toss in some blended old banana peels or something, probably unnecessary. Nutrients....I am completely confused, HELP!!!!
Water! - I will be using salt water straight from the ocean, haha jk!!! I will be using distilled water from the good ole grocery store. Also picking up a spray bottle + seltzer water too help with CO2 production, unless pointless?
Growing Agenda - Something I am confused about here is when to switch to 18/6 or do I do that as soon as the germinated seed drops on in the soil? Anyways, I will be doing one - two weeks of veg cycle (to keep it small) then begin to flower it. This is when I will slap in that 70 watt HPS. Will that HPS be able to plug into the same light fixture? Then I expect to flower for the basic 12/12 and 8 weeks.
After the Growing - Then I will pick off the buds, leave on some of the lower buds and leaves, attempt a revegg. and let it veg up for another 1-2 weeks and place it out in the woods, ocassionally taking clones for the rubber maiden to keep busy. Then the plants in the woods will flower aswell.

Am I missing anything important? Please just let me know what you guys think, if you have any questions or comments, shoot away!
This is also my first grow, so dont make fun of me if I am doing something stupid, haha!
Thanks! :hubba:
