Gettin myself out there

Hello! real quick i need to explain a few things =D

First, the reason i started growing, is I'm most likely getting a medijuana card in the near future because of an accident i was in 4.5 months ago. (Stupid teenage girl totaled my Harley!!!) Yes I'm ok! but in pain constantly. Once the court case is over, ill be able to update my setup.
For those of you that are somewhat familiar with the laws in the US, certain states that allow medical use, don't always have dispensaries in operation (such as my state, Nevada) So ill need to grow my own for the future.

Now, im growing my babies in what i like to call my Ghetto-GrowCab. Its a cabinet on the bottom of a computer desk, like where you would put your tower =D. THe measurements are 2.5ft high x 1.5ft wide x 2.5ft deep.
Soil: Miracle grow 8-8-8
ligthing: 2 CFL's emitting 900 Lumens each( i know, i need to UP THIS SIGNIFICANTLY)
water: either room temp filtered or tap thats been sitting out for 24+ hrs.
ventilation: Im using a small 4" fan mounted on the back wall facing out of the grow cab, Working quite well actually.

Well the pictures pretty much tell the rest of the story as far as setup.

I dont know what strain/sex any of my plants are. To be honest, my seeds came from various sacks of stress/shwag. Hell, the main purpose of me growing them now is for me to see just how green my thumb actually is.

Believe me, once my court case is over, some definate revamping (plant and setup alike) is going to be happening.

So please, leave comments, questions, words of wisdom, suggestions, anything you feel i should know! im just lookin for input.

Thanks all!

Sorry to hear about your accident bud! Welcome to RIU... Such a great place to chill and smoke. =)

My suggestion would be to go through each section, and read every sticky. They are there for a reason.... And if you do this, it will eliminate 95% of your questions.

If you are passionate about growing, you can make the cheapest, worst setup work.... You just have to understand the basics.

Hey Thanks for the words of kindness, a little of that goes a long way for me these days =)
and about the stickies in each section, YES, they are a bountiful plethora of knowledge and i plan on familiarizing myself with them very soon!

again, thank you for the warm greeting.

Ok! just about a week later and oh how they have grown!! Still in 16/8 light w/ reg water. I did update my CFLs and added a second fan to create the presence of wind, its made all the difference!

edit: The pic with the temp/humidity, thats what it runs at pretty much constantly.

You should really do one plant per container before it gets too late and the roots get all interlocked. Also, you might want to start to FIM. If you don't know what FIM'ing is just do a search, it'll make your plants bush out early, which is nice if you're growing in close quarters.
