Hello everybody! I'm planning my first indoor grow and I wanted to share my ideas and questions and get some feedback. So I'll get right to it.

I'm planning on growing in a box, 2x2.
I think I'll do a SCROG and only let the plants grow VERTICALLY to one foot, maybe 18 inches.
So if I used a 250 or 400watt hps, how tall would the box need to be?
How close can the hps be to the tops?
But if I used cfls start to finish, how tall would the box need to be? If I was to use cfls, I would probably use a 150watt fixture with a "y" adapter that had two additional "y" adapters plugged into that. That way I would be running 4 cfl's (23-30watts each)
How close can the cfl's be to the tops?
What's better for growing, something in the 2-3000k range or 5-6000k range?

Now, for my first grow I was going to try and keep it simple. Is there a brand of soil that will work well start to finish without having to add any nutrients? What about a mix that will get me through start to finish?

When can I determine sex, and how?

How big do my pots need to be?

Well that's all for now. Hit me with some feedback PLEASE!!
