Newb with transplant questions

Okay so my babies are getting ready to be transplanted.

I've got 4 of the little guys, they're in rockwool and I'm planning on moving them over to the growbox this Friday.

SH Hydroponics, Inc. > DWC Basic Kit

That's the kit I have and I was wondering if anyone can give me any tips for general plant feeding, what problems I might run into with this system, etc. etc.

This is my first grow and I'm nervous like a school boy on a big test day.

My homeade growbox. The CFLs and FLuros will get replaced here on Sunday when I have time to install my HID kit.

I don't have any pictures of the exhaust vents, they're at the top of the box. It's right by a window (which I have a window ac unit). I cut panels around the AC and ran tubing for my vents. There are 2 exhaust vents and 1 intake from the room itself.
120MM PC fans were used.

This shit is as low-tech as I can afford.

Funny, because I have another sitting here 3 feet to my left.
Will do on that.

Anything else? I'm not the brightest bulb in the package when it comes to this sort of thing.

to start your plants cannot stay in there for the whole time..i say start them in there for about 2 weeks then move them into bigger netpots..i have system similar and i used all the net pots and im paying for it now i only have 3 in my system out of the 8 that started...they outgrew the system and roots were getting tangled.so i would say just start 1 in each corner of the system..

I plan on having 2 in the end. I started these from seeds so I'm counting on atleast 2 of them being males.
I built the system for 3-4 plants tops.

I do have another set of 6 deeper net pots. Same width but they're like some 8 inches deep as apposed to the 4 or so these are.
