Hello, I am a first time grower and I have a really basic understanding of how to grow. I am only looking to grow these plants for personal use and wouldnt mind if i got a half decent yeild. All advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking to do a stealth grow in my attic, it's not big enough for me to walk around, but I figure that it has just enough space to grow a strain like the Blue mystic or Northern lights.
I have drawn a really crappy outline of what I think my setup will be. However, I'm not sure if it's going to work...
here is the drawing...

It's not super accurate, but you'll get the idea...
I have decided to use 4 cfls for this grow, I'm looking to grow 2 or maybe 3 plants. I'm still not sure on what cfls to use whether I should prioritise lumens over watts or vice versa. I'm also on a budget so don't suggest anything to costly.
I thought I would throw in a blue and red LED grow light as well, I figured that this would offer a wider light spectrum to the plants.

I decided that I should
use a aluminium car windshield protector to direct the lights to the plants

I heard that blue mystic was a low odour plant and thought I could get away with just using ona gel to cover up the smell. I didn't want to get a carbon filter since the fan maybe slightly Loud.
So I will try to assemble these inside a cardboard box. So all the contents you see in my "diagram" will be closed in the box.
I'm still not sure on what type of pots or soil I should use. I'll probably be growing a blue mystic auto.
Also I didn't think I would need a fan since there is a breeze that runs through my attic. However, I am concerned that it might be slightly to cold at nights for the plants since I live in England, even in the summer seasons.
PLEASE DONT HOLD BACK ON ANY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
PLEASE POINT OUT ANYTHING I MAY HAVE MISSED OUT OR ANY MAJOR FLAWS IN MY DESIGN.
