First grow, CFL+Soil

Alright, first a little about myself. I've been an avid smoker for several years now, and since day one I've wanted to grow my own. I'm a voracious gardener as it is, and I am one year on my way to a degree in horticulture, so I figure if I can grow tomatoes, sages, penstemon, and all kinds of other plants, then why not cannabis?

So I started with a box, with the following specs:

SIZE: 4' tall x 3.33' wide x 2' deep, primed and painted white, and made completely air and light tight.

VENTILATION: A 50CFM bathroom exhaust fan in one upper corner and a hole for air intake in the opposite corner. There is also a small fan inside the box for air circulation.

LIGHTING: 12, 27w daylight CFL bulbs on a ghetto-rigged vanity fixture of my own design.

SOIL: A high-grade general purpose potting soil with some added perlite.

I brought home from the local cannabis dispensary four clones: one AK-47, one labeled "Purple AK," one labeled "Buddah's Passion," and the last some good ole' GDP. I planted the clone cubes in some small pots and watered them in. I also put an open bowl of water in the center of the plants to try and keep the humidity up. Now I guess all there is to do is to wait.

Here are some pics, one of the babies and one of the whole setup in general. Let me know if there's anything I should change or do differently. Thank you for looking!
