Ok guys here is the journal for my first grow. I am going to be posting a lot of pictures and hopefully I will get some feedback from everyone. I'm going to be needing your help learning the ropes here as i progress with my plants.
Now on to the good stuff.

The dresser grow box in progress. I have a light fixture I made from Home Depot parts, turkey pan, and old cord. It's running 4 26w cfls as of right now. Was supposed to be 8 but my hardware store is out of splitter at the moment, I bought the last two. dresser was sealed with light and air tight caulk, then sprayed with 3m aerosol glue and given the emergency blanket Mylar treatment. The Mylar was impossible to get smooth in there and I'm considering just pulling it out and going with white paint. Currently the box isn't vented as I am waiting on a 4 pack of pc fans from amazon for 12 bucks.

The plants I have growing are "ice" strain from Nirvana. I have been pleased with the purchase so far. I received the seeds in the US less than a week after ordering them and the price was good. I think $37 shipped for 10 seeds. I am kind of wishing now that I had ordered more than 1 different strain instead of 10 of the same seeds but whatever. We will see what happens. The seeds were not presoaked, the were simply planted in pots and dampened, the placed on my vegetable sprouting rack, and we have shoots broken ground in less than 48 hours! The soil is fox farm ocean forest. I have also ordered their nutrient 3 pack to use for this grow. It seems like a lot of people here use this stuff with success and I didn't want to over complicated stuff for my first grow.

My my vegetable rack has 3 fixtures with 2 fluorescent bulbs in each. The bulbs that are currently in them are labeled as t12? I looked up the part numbers and they are 20watt bulbs around 750 lumens each. Are these possibly something that could be useful in a closet grow? Can the bulbs be changed out for something brighter or am I limited on these because of the wiring in the fixtures?

Ive seen people on here talk about t5 and t8 bulbs but not t12 and I don't know what's compatible with what. Alright guys let me know what you think and let's get some constructive criticism rolling here. Thanks
Now on to the good stuff.
