Well I guess I'll start my saying this IS my first legit grow.
I'm using Llamabox's 250w stealth cabinet design with a few small revision such as casters on the bottom for mobility and internal braces.
Here's the thread I used :

Might be the same thread in here I'm not sure though.
Anyways down to business.
Ordered my Seeds from Nirvana on October 28th got them in the mail November 11th. Not bad at all for traveling overseas. The wallet that they came with is pretty awesome too.
All in all a very pleasant first time buyer experience. Will use them again.
Starting my germination on 11/27/09 so I'll consider that Day #1
Day #3
Well I didn't realize my stoner mistake until it was too late. I put the rooter plugs in the wrong direction .
I didn't think too much of it at the time of this picture but it became very apparent as of till there 3rd over the plug when 2 inches of the root was exposed.
I'm too embarrassed to even post a picture so I'll just leave it at that.
Day #10
As you can see my solution for the upside down plug was to simply stack a rock wool cube on top the first .
The upper plant in the picture seems to be the runt of the two but I'm not too worried. And yes I did help it get the seed off after I took this picture.
As of now I'm only running a single 26w "Soft White" fluorescent until I make my run in town for the damn fixtures. I thought I had some laying around but turns out not. Now I gotta go fork out $7 a piece for 4 of them .
I have a slight problem though, being as I can't move the cabinet into my room and have to leave it in the garage how can I keep the temperature of the 12"x24" chamber up higher? It's December and it's getting cold. I've already placed a space heater as close as I could to the cabinet but it's still just a mere ~71 degree in the chamber.
Will having all 4 26w florescent bulbs running at once help raise the temp a little?
I'm considering placing a 60w incandescent bulb in the chamber but I surely don't wanna take the risk of leaving and coming back my plants dead b/c of heat before that had a real fighting chance.
Suggestions?
Ohh and the mean temperature of the garage is about 67-68 F depending on where your standing.
