Alright, i've spent the last few days researching and whatnot and am planning to buy the rig within the next couple of weeks. (BTW, the grow is happening over the summer, not during the school year. Any bud grown during the school year will be done far off campus.) Obviously for the first grow i expect to make my fair share of mistakes, but i'd like to minimize as many of the silly mistakes as i can. Starting from scratch, the list is as follows:

Is there anything glaringly obvious missing from the list that i'd need for a proper hydro setup? Anything you'd suggest adding to the mix for optimum results? Anything look egregiously out of place or blantantly unnecessary? Also, any recommendations on quantity? I'm figuring a quart of each of the nutrients and a dozen bulbs should be sufficient for 6-8 plants in a 4-6 square foot area, but i'm sure i could be mistaken. Again, any guidance you can give a virgin grower would be great.
growguy00 Reviewed by growguy00 on . First Time Grower Long-time smoker and first time grower here. I'm planning to convert a small storage trunk i have (roughly 12"x15"x30") into a small portable grow-box for stealth and security reasons. The only relevant experience i have is computer building (cramming lots of heat-sensitive electronics together in a small box that must be cool and quiet) and pot smoking (i know good bud when i see it :D ) As of yet plans include a set of 27 watt, 1850 lumen compact fluorescent lightbulbs with built-in Rating: 5
