So ive got a thread in the CFL forums but with the ammount of pictures i plan on taking i figured i should start a grow journal.

Here"s my posts ive made in my CFL journal. All help is GREATLY appreciated.

ENJOY:
So i just started my first closet cfl grow
My box is 3 feet tall by 2.5 feet wide by a foot deep
I have 2 5" radio shack fans one blowing in and one sucking out
The one that sucks air out has a homeade carbon scrubber made from activated carbon and pencil holders
I have 4 100w equivalent CFL lights and the floor of my box moves up and down to keep the plants close to the lights
I have started germinating 6 seeds 3 of which i know the strain and 3 that i dont know what they are. Im not sure if there femine and plan on growing a max of 4 plants at a time in the box and possibly building a second taller box for the flowering stage of my plants.
Fan blowing in covered by panthose:


The box:


Bowls taped together with germinating seeds inside and label on top:



Now this is my first time and im probably going to need help all the way.
Once they sprout im going to put them in ocean forest soil from fox farms and plan on growing them with fox farm grow big and tiger bloom for nutrients. I have a tester for PH and wet/dry meter along with a somethign to tell me temp and humidity.

All input is appreciated, how much do you think i can yield? and does anyone have suggestions to improve my yield cheaply and by able to keep it somewhat hidden (I.E. no huge fans and lights)

Thanks

Update

So only two of the seeds i planted sprouted and here they are
This one is a bag seed:




Heres my second plant it is Alaskan Thunder Fuck




There each directly under a light within about 2 inches of the plant and they are ten days old being watered 3 to 4 ounces every 2 to 3 days. The leaves are growing great but they dont seem to be getting any taller?
Do i have anything to worry about?
I have fox farm tiger bloom and grow big and was going to start the grow big on monday which would make the plants 2 weeks old.

Ive got 6 more bag seeds germinating and im going to take the 2 best seeds and plant them this weekend.

Any advice?
 
Where im at today:
So i may have hurt my plants, yesterday i transplanted them into 1 gallon buckets and got all antsy and added about 1 1/2 caps of grow big nutes to my water and fed my plants. Now im scared that im going to have put them into more shock because of the start of nutes. Should i go back to regular water now or will theat cause even more stress?

Heres some pictures of my babies. They are 15 days old

nice silky, you got a journal on here?

As promised here's pics of my 3 week old babies, ive been looking for preflowers and all im seeing is the straight pointy things at the nodes that say in the pictures to be female. This week ill figure out how to get good magnafied pictures.

But anyone got estimation on when i should go into flowering to get the most yield and stay within my 3 foot box:
