Hello All... New member to the site, though I have been reading on here for a while now...

Im about to start my first grow, and figured I would start a grow log to share my experience, obtain some help if needed etc etc...

Well I have my grow spaced all picked out..

Its a cabinet that I am now longer using... it is 5'H x 28"W x 15"L which should give me total sqft of 2.91...

I have a idea of what lights im going to use and how to make them... I plan on using 18 26w 6500k compact flos... basically gonna wire up 9 (one every 3") standard bulb sockets then buy Y extenders for a total of 18 bulbs and build a hood around that...

Actual wattage of bulbs will be 468W for a total of 28k lumens which should put me at 160W per sqft and 9,621 lumens per sqft

as far as intake and exhaust I have 2 120mm, 4 80mm computer fans.. I plan on using 1 120mm and 2 80mm for the intake and vise versa for the exhaust.... The intake will be mounted on lower backside of the cabinet and the exhaust on the top front of the cabinet ..

I have a few other things to work out as of now, further ventilation in case of heat problems, odor control(though thats not a big big problem), size of pots I need, soil mix, and waiting on my seeds to get here
