New Grow Box (Noob)

[OpJ]

Well I ordered my seeds which I am expecting any day now. I got Nirvana AK48 10 pak from dope-seeds. I have a seperate cabinet that I will be doing the veg stage in and the pics here are my flower cab. I only have cfl in the flower cab currently and I think I will be able to fit 4 plants. The cab is 3.5ft x 3.5ft x 3.5ft apprx. I got 6 clf 23watt so gives me a total of 9600 lumens, Ill keep the lights 4" inches off the top of the plants and hopefully to lst(Low Stress Train) them I think. I have ventilation and need to get a thermostat for the flower cab. Any pointers appreciated, please let me know.

HI OP...

Once your seedlings are 5-10 days old you should keep the lights, closer than 4 inches.. more like 1 inch.. When using CFLs light proximity dramaticaly effects YIELD...

You should also try to get 42 watt CFLs they are MUCH much better..

I look foward to watching your grow
