  2. Looks good. I am starting my first CFL grow soon. Built my grow box last night. I'm usually an outdoor grower. I look forward to seeing how yours turn out. 
     
  3. thnks man i cant wait till shes finished and i think u might find growing indoors will be a lil easier i think....
     
  4. Na outside is much easier but inside you control everything
