And a big old "Howdy folks" to you all!

I've lurked long enough. Ive gotten more good learnins from this site in the past 6 weeks than I have from any other source in my lifetime (I'm 44). I am impressed, to say the least.
Off and on I've grown a few bagseed plants outdoors for nearly 30 years, but never with the care the poor girls deserved. I just finished a cabinet grow (homemade cabinet, 9-26watt cfls 2700k&6500k, bathroom exhaust fan for air flow and small personal fan to make 'em dance. 36“wX16"dX32"h).
4 out of 5 females. Box was in shed outside and temps were Way too high (90-100) much of the time and resulted in bonsai ladies (none over 14"). This was an excercise in plant torture as much as anything, but still managed to pull about an ounce and a half of bud out of it.
Which brings me to the present. Wont go into too much detail but i now have 8 plants about 2 weeks old - got seeds from attitude(all feminized,different strains, 100% germination). They're under cfl in a super stealthy cabinet inside a new closet i built in my office, but I will soon transplant and move to my newly finished (nearly) flowering room back out in The Shed. Would like to start a grow journal, but (and please, no smartass cracks about what an idiot I am) I am not clear on how to begin. The thread I found on starting a journal was not very informative. Could someone steer me in the proper direction, if its not too much trouble. Ill try to attach pics of my two biggest plants. The one in the Dixie cup is Super Cali Haze from short stuff(Attitude freebie-August) and the other is my white widow by Nirvana.
Sorry, I meant to be brief....
Thanks guys for all the help you've already given me as i lurked (researched) and i really appreciate your taking time to read and rspond to this post.
Peace. Long life.... ;)

New Grower: I just setup my Mini Cool Cab. I've done some reading in here, I must say you guy got it going on and hope to learn all I can. I have neighbors, so I picked a strain that is not supposed to have that much Oder (Heavywieght Shooting Star) which I ordered feminized 10 seeds. I know I could of pick a better strain, but never from indoors so I thought I'd try a autoflowering strain. Ordering AK47 and New York Desil along with some Barneys LSD. I must say that what my instructions that came with the Cool Cab are different from what I've be reading here. Totally new to indoor growing and could use all the help I can get. Anyway nice to be here and look forward to learning all I can and if you guys can keep me from srewing ip too bad it would be much appreciated.
 
Just wanna say hey to everyone here. I have been around here for a little bit but spend a lot of time on grasscity. I have done a little of outdoor and some small indoor, still trying to get my skills down. I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from forums and youtube. Thanks to all of you for sharing your info to help all of us have a better Garden. Peace roll it up!

I'm Shannon. I'm getting used to growing hydroponically. Out of 9 seeds, four took off and only one is 100% for sure female. I'm attempting to become a provider for dispensaries here in my town. I like art and science.

Hempblessing, it sounds as if you did well to loose the roommate. I think you got out of the deal okay, atleast you have one plant. That's why I decided to go the hydroponic route. Outside where I live we have deer which has been my biggest problem and if they servive the deer you have the grasshoppers come August and if a guy is dumb enough to tell his best friend, well you can say goodbye to it all.

Complete noob to this but am interested in having my own setup. I live alone and have plenty of room. I was thinking about growing in my dis-used shower, this sits in a bathroom. The space would be around 2.5ft * 2.5ft * 8ft high. I believe I will need to block out the window with reflective material of some sort (?). Looking to have a basic grow of around 2 or 3 plants.

I know Ill require a light but am unsure of hydro set up or soil & pots. Plus a little confused by pumps etc. Can anyone tell me if the above is a feesable set up? And how cheaply could I do it? (i dont mind paying for quality materials). Is it also essential to have a fan on a grow of this size? If so, where do i vent the air to & from? Any help is greatly received. :)
