Newbie 1st Time grower

Hey well i finally decided to stop spending money on bud when i can buy the seeds and grow this beautiful plant myself. I have started germinating the seeds couple of hours ago . Tomorrow i will be going to buy some stuff for the grow ! Ok well im starting off with 2 plants , My grow box is 17 inches tall and 20 inches wide . The grow box is an old side table took out the drawer and voila a perfect grow box the drawer track is still on there so maybe i could use it some how lol. Well where i am going to be growing it the only light socket is on the roof which is a good meter and a half off the ground how can i make this work also i want to use CFL light bulbs so how many do i need and what watts ! please give any input i appreciate you taking the time to read my bad grammar !

With a box that small you are going to want to grow 1 or 2 plants on 12/12 from seed.
For cfls you want to start with a bluer light and then go to redder. Probably 2 or 3 42 watts.
You are going to have some major heat issues if you don't have enough ventilation.
Also do you know if the seeds are fem?
Pics of the table/cabinet thing will help a lot.
 
Hey well i currently don't have a camera so cannot send pics :( going to see if friend can upload from cell phone (might of lost connection cord). Well yes it is kind of small but i think its perfect for the two plants i want to grow i was going to cut a hole out so i could add a fan in. The problem is where im going to be growing in the room does not have an Electrical socket and only one light socket. How will i get 2-3 CFl's running and a fan ! . No idea if the seeds are female hopefully , how long after the seeds are planted will i know the sex?

Even if you run 12/12 from seed your still looking at least a month yill you know sex, and with the figures you have for your box a yield of 1 oz. is aiming high, are you sure you can survive off of a zone of sensei every 3-5 months?

Well i want to grow 2 plant s how do i maximize the yield but only grow two plants , this box didn't even take time to make just was going to throw it out whipped out the drawers and decided t grow some weed lol . Any Desgings for a new box or lighting fixtures would be a great help. I am going to home depot tommorow so any input on what i should buy would be great , i dont have the big of a budget maybe 60 $ or less so anything in that price range would be great !
