So as the thread title says, this will be my first grow using coco. I have three previous grows under my belt...all three were grown 100% organically in Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil with FF Grow Big/Big Bloom. Two out of the three grows were in a grow box that was 4'x4'x6' with a 600watt HPS. The first run was 12 Purple Urkel clones that i picked up from the LPC in hayward before it closed down. 
The second run was 6 clones...three Blue Dots, and three Strawberry Coughs, also from the LPC. However these clones were sickly and in bad shape to begin with, so i ended up only pulling around 4oz's from the 6 plants where as with the Purple's, i pulled somewhere in between 9-10 oz's. The third one was a grow outside w/ 4 feminized purple power's from Female Seeds. One didn't germ, and one was a runt so it was culled. The two that remained were pretty good as far as i was concerned. One was an indica pheno that was 100% purple and the other was a sativa pheno that had light shades of purple but had an intense uppy, head high. The sativa was my favorite. I then took a year long break from growing due to some personal problems but now i'm back. It may not be a 600watt HPS this time around, but this run is mainly for positve therapy, fun, and a constant supply of high grade medical cannabis.
My set up consists of a closet that's about 7-8 feet, but i'm using the right side and have sectioned it off into a 2x2 area that will have a 175watt MH lighting the area up.
My exhaust consists of a 105 CFM pc fan that's posistioned on the right side of the box, right by the light. My intake is an 02 Cool fan blowing through a dryer vent deal into the box.
There is 6 millimeter black/white poly on the walls with the white side as the reflective side. The cab door is reflective insulation that is fastened to the wall via staple gun and attached to the cab via velcro.
My cab holds 16 5'' containers in 11''x20'' black trays. Since i'm using seeds now instead of the SSH clones i had lined up there will only be 15 plants and x amount of plants after they are sexed. Hopefully my buddy will have some rooted Grandaddy clones ready for me so i can just make up the difference with the plants that i cull do to the males, and make the plant count a full 16. I do plan on making moms out of the afghani, the mazar, and the Grandaddy.
My grow medium is Botanicare's CocoGrow mixed with a little perlite. most likely an 80/20 coco/perlite.
The nutrients i'll be using will be Humboldt Nutrients Line. Grow, Micro, Bloom, and eventually i'll pick up a quart of the Humboldt Sweet.
As far as additives go, I'll be using Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz (0-50-30), and Fox Farms Cha Ching (9-50-10). You can check out Fox Farms website for more info on the two products. My friends use it and really like it so i figured i'd give it a shot. Well, i think that's about it....if there's any questions, thoughts, or whatever is on your guys/girls minds just let me know and i'll do my best.

...Indeed wouldnt measuring the run off to 1 ltr be how I would tell I'd watered sufficiently in the first place?
