Alright well I managed to get some learning time in and theres been a change in plans for my lighting. For now I will keep things simple and go with a pure CFL grow using both soft white and daylight lights. Also, the aluminum sheeting I was talking about = mylar which I will be using to coat the inside.

I plan on using 150W per plant so 300W in total. How does that sound?

Also, with the CFL's I won't have a heat issue so I think 2 small fans would suffice. Do I still need an air exhaust or will I be fine with a complete closed box?

As for my 4 13W babies, I'll keep them for seedling stages or give them to my parents lol, they were only $13for the 4 of em.

I'm also really interested in the LST method but wondering if I should just stick to the basics for my first grow. Opinions?

Off to do more reading!
