Make sure to keep track of the humidity as well. Your environment is almost more important that lighting and nutrient lineup, keep that in mind. I personally would buy a thermo hygrometer to keep tabs on what's going on. (Be sure to put tape over any back-lit or light emitting objects in you grow room, except of course your grow light.)Sooooo after having my first grow outdoors, I wanted to go indoors so I crossed a sativa dominant unknown strain with a blueberry kush male and ended up with a decent amount of seeds. I'm almost positive the sativa was an auto flower because when I tried to keep one around after flower, it died within 2 weeks.
I made a 4x2x4 grow box out of plywood, painted it gloss white on the inside, gave it a nice satin finish and some jazzy little door knobs... Nothing too fancy but it will get the job done.
My lighting is a 300w Mars hydro LED with 4 24w 24" fluorescent single tubes that I put on the walls for extra light. I plan on getting either more CFL or LED when it comes time to flower.
For air I have a 50 cfm bathroom exhaust fan with duct ran up midway, a cut out vent with a wall vent cover over it, and a 12" moving air inside the box.
My temp is currently 89F and to lower it I want to get a 4" inline exhaust fan toadd to the duct I currently have. That way I can also add a carbon filter along with it. I also plan on making the filter... But I'm procrastinating because there is no smell yet. I'm almost done with week 2.
Let me know what you think!
Cant wait to see :)Thanks for the tips evryone, I'll be updating with some pics when things start to get more interesting... Until then I will sit and stare at the box out of pure obsession.

Change that obsession to love... give em names, talk to em sing to em...tease, flirt...put on groovy music, write little words around your grow like love, peace, share... I'm serious !!! thay can tell when your in bad mood or your in it for the money or that you are totally smitten...lol...committed..oooh....Pretty much what your better half should be treated like.
She is the Great Green Goddess...The Healer of life...The anointed oil...to put it to truth.
She will award you with hugs of nugs.
Same here, I actually only grow for personal use :)Pandora pretty much stays on in my house and my box is about 8ft from my sub, so they are always feeling good vibrations. And my goal is to produce some really good mood producing bud for vets. And of course some full on mid altering dank. I love the herb with the utmost respect. I've been gardening since I was a wee little lad, all I had to do was find some bagseed and 8yrs later I can finally do this shit! I'm not in it for money, I just love it.
Put diatomaceous earth powder on top of the soil, it'll cut the bugs outer skin and suffocate them :)Top left on the second pic was the one that went a little crazy

I think I know which bugs you're having a problem with, and I may be, too! It's those damn black flying fungus gnats. They have two clear wings, and they're kind of black and whitish on the body?
The little black suckers are the gnats, usually if there's damp medium. ( some bagged soil will have these).
water from bottom for a while, check for any excess water and try to dry it out. sticky traps...
Some gnats have small white stripes, google (image) of... Fungus Gnats, Thrips, Spider Mites, Aphids, Leaf miners, Whiteflies, mealy bugs.
