is this all i need?

hi. i'm very new to growing, so i'm asking you if i did good my howework
i'm growing indoor in a pretty small box, 20 x 20 x 8. i hope this will be enough if i use LST. maybe i can fit two plants and remove one when i can see sex?

i'm going to buy soon all the equipment, tell me if i'm missing something

seeds - of course
1x deep water colture hydro system
1x lighting timer
1x carbon filter for odor
2x pc fans
1x ties for LST
1x nutrients for tomatoes, where n > pk
1x tape - well general purpose
1x scissors - for pruning etc
4x rockwool cubes (maybe comes with the hydro system?)
1x bag of rocks for hydro (maybe comes with the hydro system?)
2x mylar sheets
1x small rope (to fix the lights)
2x tubes (to make sure there is no light coming from the fans holes, i'm not sure if tubes is the right name but well.. you got the point)

edit:
4x CFL 20w ( 6400k it first, for flowering i'll buy 2700k as suggested by bagz )


i'm not really sure if this is everything i need. what do you think? since the shop is pretty far from where i live, i want to be sure it's all ok!
thanks

If he already has his hydro system then I say grow with it, if not than def try indoor soil growing first.

i chose hydro because i tought with soil i would need more space...
i can't expand that is the size of the box, do you think it can be a big problem?

i dont see how your going to grow in 20 inches, your pots (or hydro system) will take up alot of that, then at the top u have to put ur lights which'll also take up more space, and then uve the distance between the lights and plants, even with lst i cant see you having enough room
