I am so sick of paying out the ass for quality. I decided to take matters into my own hands now that I have some space. I'm sure you guys will be able to offer several tips that will be extremely helpful to me since I haven't had experience to learn from myself.
I'm going to start with ten feminized seeds of a strand I haven't quite decided upon yet. I plan on placing the seedlings individually in several moist paper towels a piece.
After 24 hours in a dark, warm environment, I plan on planting the seeds a half inch deep into Jiffy-pots with Fox Farm organic soil as my medium.
My set up is not in a grow box but rather on a 5 foot by 2 foot table in my bedroom. I have a solid space heater and plan on keeping the room at 80* F. I have a 4 foot tall fan I plan to keep oscilating. The fan will be a few feet from my plants and not blowing directly on them as much as it will be blowing around them.
For a light, I'll be using this:

I plan on starting with the MH bulb for my newly planted seeds and throughout the vegatation stage. It will be mounted about 2 feet above my plants. I'm going to go with a 18 hours on, 6 hours off schedule.
As previously mentioned, I don't have a box but I plan on covering my walls with mylar. I'm going to be buying a guage that measures temperature and humidity along with a cheap ph tester.
Based on my set-up so far, what advice can you offer me?
