Sounds good so far. You'll prob. want to add more lights down the road. Do you have something to exhaust the air & take care of the smell? What type of nutes are you going to use, do you have a Ph tester or is that what you mean by soil meter?

Dont know alot about Scotts soil, I'm using MG MC. Lot of debate on that 1 !!!

Sorry bro, dont mean to sound like a ass with all the questions, just want to help.

NL is a great choice, should stay relativelyt short. The 200 CFL is perfect for a cnopy light. I suggest get a few 2700 L at about 42 Watts to surround the plant on all sides. Once the plant grows, the 200 willl have a bit of a hard time getting to the bottom part of the plant, and the 42's will do the trick to take care of that.
Make sure you have a vent of some sort, along with odor control. NL doesn't smell "much", but it you handle your plant at all, it WILL smell a bit.

You'll def. want to get a Ph meter to test your water/soil etc. its like $5 @ most hrdwr stores.

I try to keep my ph around 6.5, roon temp around 78 w/lights on & around 68 w/lights off. I keep my humidity aroung 55%-60% for veg and 40%-45% during flower. You want lower humidity during flowering so no mold shows up on your buds
