Welcome.....I see a couple of things I'd not do..no clear plastic pots/bottles..that'll inhibit root growth because of light.. and unless you've got some experience with Miracle grow, I'd not use it as they mostly are pre-nuted and moisture controlled to some extent..and you need to control these things..I use a premium potting soil mixed 50-50% with promix..(or perlite).. No nutes till 3-4th week of veg, starting at 1/4 strength.... water once every 3-4 days..two things fuck up plant starts..too much nutes/water..luck..:joint::joint:

Hey..... The 150 HPS I'm not really up on the heat it throws..I've been growing outside and have just started inside and I'm in the process of getting a "small" HPS myself..and heat is MY main concern as I'm not drilling holes and shit.. In a small enclosed comp box I'd worry a bit...I've heard that they have smaller HPS but that starts the is it worth it debate..You may have to use a bigger fan(s) than comp cooling..As I said this is my issue also.. we''ll see who gets fucked 1st, then advise other...

just get the hps ballist with the cooling system in it. Its a little extra but helps a lot.
Allows you to keep it closer to the plants as well
