Ok, so I'll start out with some info about the setup.
80's mini-fridge (yeah, it's retro sweet - also its Italian made)
30x18x18
100w HPS cooled with DIY cool tube
4" inline cooling HPS
120mm quiet PC fan for cab exhaust
passive intake 10x3.5
circulation fan pulled from microwave =)
rheostat for circ fan
White fridge interior (don't mess with a good thing)

Planted 2 fem Morning Glory, 3 fem Sweettooth, and 3 MasterKush in 16oz keg cups. The soil is Perfect Mix all purpose potting soil. It's ferted. I know better, but I had the stuff lying around and was short on cash. Unsprouted cups covered in plastic wrap. Unfortunately I don't get to keep all the plants, starting for an outdoor grower, cause my cab is better than his. Will keep 1-2 plants depending on how it goes, but that's just fine for the space I have.

1st girl sprouted 7 days after planting. She's a MG and her name is Dawn. Lot of hidden (and not so hidden) meaning to the name. 2nd came up 6 days latter. She had a rough first week on life, small heat wave. Will be patient with the rest, they've got to the end of the month. I'm still hopeful.

That should be enough for now.
Here are some pics of the cab
