Designing my foot locker grow box

Well I got it all put together. The fans blow hard and quiet! I have it currently in my closet, you cannot hear it at all with the fans on, and when all the lights in the room are turned off there is no light leaking under the door.

Since this is a stealth grow, I got especially excited when I found this out...

There are no outlets inside the closet, but there is a 1.5" x 1.5" wooden door that is used to do maintinence on the bathtub... I can wire into the electrical system of the house because the main line comes right by my closet! I'm glad I know how to do house wiring. This means there are no cords coming out under the door!


Current problem though, is none of my seeds are germinating. I first put them between several paper towels and poured room temp tap water on them. (Maine water is very high quality where I am, it is impossible to taste any chlorine, but there is some nonetheless.) I let them sit for 24 hours... no movement. I then decided to drop them into a bowl of tap water that had been sitting out for about three days. They have been in the tap water for 24 hours.

So 48 hours without any real sign of germination. 4/8 seeds floated when I put them in the bowl, but now only 2/8 seeds float. I have since moved the ones that sank into paper towels again, wetting the paper towels with water from the bowl, and leaving the other two floating seeds to, well, float.

24 hours later (72 hours total) and still no progress. Getting worried.

They are in a 69-75 degree drawer with no light.

I've been thinking about my light setup and I think it is inadequate.

I'm mostly worried about spectrum... not amount of light. Amount of light is easy to fix, you just buy more lights.

I currently have 2x 42 watt (150w equiv.) "Cool White" CFLs.

I am thinking of making a 6 bulb assembly / reflector, and I want to know what those other four bulbs should be. The idea is to get a light setup that can veg and flower one or two plants in a 1 sq/ft area.
