Decided I wanted to try my first CFL micro grow after moving in with my girlfriend and am more then excited. Would like to one day smoke only my own, save some cash and know exactly where it came from, me 
.
I apologize if this thread is in the wrong location, this is my first thread and first time posting ever. Have searched through RIU for quite some time now and have always found good responses, well mannered people and information I never knew about. Can't wait to be a solid part of the RIU community.
Strain: Northern lights Feminized (ordered from Nirvana, should be here in 2 weeks or less)
Box dimensions: Old dresser roughly 3' x 2' x 1' (Height x width x depth)
Ventilation: Two 4" x 4" computer fans capable of moving 44 CFM each.
Odor: Carbon filter mounted to the outtake fan located high by the lights to help remove hot air.
Reflective material: Emergency blanket from Canadian tire
Lights: Veg = Three 42W 6500k / One 42w 2700k
Flowering = Three 42w 2700k / One 42w 6500k and small 23w 2700k to fill shadows.
Soil: Miracle grow organic potting mix in the brown bag (0.10-0.05-0.05)
Miracle grow perlite (0.04-0.01-0.06)
This is the part I am having trouble with, I do not have any small nurseries near me or big garden centers where I was able to easily find fox farms etc which I know is much better. I have the normal local shops such as Wal-mart, Home depot, Target, Lowe's, Canadian tire and with the knowledge I have this seemed like the best choice...opinions/ better options would be awesome.
Nutrients: I have no idea, I know to not start feeding until after 2-3+ weeks and at quarter/half strength because of the soil i'm using but then what?
Tools: To my knowledge I have all the necessary tools. (Ph control kit, sharp sterile scissors, humidity/temp gauge, pots, timer, extra fan)
Updates:
I can't wait to get this project started and I apologize for no pictures, the box is currently at my parents otherwise there would be.
Once I get started and I see some sprouting i'll upload pictures every 1/2 weeks.
Thank you so much for the read and any input you provide, happy toking everyone.
