hello. i forget everything, so i figure if i get on here and document it all, i can remember it easier. i have also run into problems with a few things, and would like just some advice in general. so...down to brass tacks. i apologize for my non-organized train of thought, i hope it's not too difficult to follow. also, sorry for the sideways pictures. i'm just too lazy to fix it. won't happen again, though 
there is what i'm planning to grow in. the area i have painted white right now is 15"Lx15"Wx16.5"H. i plan to cut most of the floor out, and put a res in the bottom drawer so that i can easily move it in and out. if i were to do so, the height would change from 16.5" to 21.5".
i plan on using CFLs, but i'm not sure exactly how i would go about mounting them i'm going for ~200w CFLs.
eventually, i plan on doing a scrog (perhaps the sides angled up for more surface area?) with either one or two plants, but for now i think i will do LST on one plant just so i can get a few clones (thinking about building a PC mother/clone case).
so far i have no genetics besides bagseeds that i'm not sure will germ, but i plan on ordering some seeds once i get a little bit more dough and get a harvest under my belt.
eventually, i plan on using DWC in food storage container, but for the first grow i was thinking about doing soil for the sake of simplicity. good idea or bad idea?
i'm waiting for two of these to arrive so i can finish my carbon filter. i'm not quite sure how i'm going to do it, but here is my plan...
the circular holes in the back of the cab are going to be cut out to make a rectangle (yay surface area) and that will be where my carbon will be deposited...but i haven't really come up with a way to get it to stay vertically packed in there. any ideas? also, the fans will be mounted to a plastic bin in order to make sure that they only pull air from the cab.
intake will be 6 1" pieces of PVC with the insides spraypainted black, then covered with pantyhose with the end shoved through to make it totally lightproof. also don't know how to mount these, since i had to drill 1 3/4" holes (if i remember right
) in order for the pvc to fit. was thinking some kind of caulk or adhesive...
i have nothing for the actual growth of the plant and the nearest hydro store is over an hour's drive away, so i'm probably going to go with miracle gro organic for the first plant if that's the route i decide to take.
damn i feel like i'm forgetting everything...who knows. i just figured i'd go ahead and start this because it's incredibly hard coming up with all the ideas without having someone knowledgeable to bounce ideas off of.
happy holidays IC!

Thanks though. I killed so many seedlings from overwatering very recently, that's the only reason I know. Even being highly concious of over-watering, I still could barely get a seedling to live past that first hump. The saviour was jiffy pellets. Can't praise them enough.
