I made this box mainly out of 3/4 inch plywood. All sealed up.
The dimensions are 22"x14"x15"
I have four 23 watt 6500K bulbs for veg.
I'm experimenting with my first grow so I decided to start with one plant, though I germinated 2 seeds for better odds. As you can see one of the seeds has germinated :) I'm pretty excited.

It should be fine for one plant. I did lots of research on this and according to the articles, books, and magazines I read, not to mention all the growing threads I've seen here on GrassCity, around 100 watts for one plant is good. I understand it would be better if I had more lights. More lighting = bigger yield, but I'm just experimenting. If I have lighting problems in a few days then I might add more.

It's a Cali Gold seed. It's definitely in my top ten for my favorite strains I've tried

Looking good man, my seeds just left for shipping earlier today. I'll be sure to keep up with your grow, and maybe you can check mine out when I get going.

I think so. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to LST. Any tips on it? Only thing I know about it is you tie branches down to spread them out, right?

LST, light stress training is recommended for smaller enosures, also, SCROG is a goodd way to go.

Day 5 - Still looking good. Temperature is running a little bit high, about 80-81F. I had the door open for about an hour and it went down some.
and one question, is it good to spray a little bit of water on the leaves?
I wasn't sure so I haven't been doing it.

Look at the directions on your nutrient container. It will usually give you a mix ratio for folier applications. I spray my plants twice a week. Monday I use my nute mix, Tuesday I use O2 enriched RO water to "rinse" off any nutrient residue.
