Well I'm on week 2 of my first grow but heres where I'm up to.
I was in B&Q and saw a great plastic toolshed thingy, on sale for £30. Snapped it up and went to work
Painted it matt white inside and drilled some holes in top for my lighting contraption. I have a 125w daylight fluorescent going in there and I plan on getting a warm white when its time.
The closet was pretty "gappy" since it was made for tools, so I got some draught excluder and lined the doors with it. Should help when I'm not allowed any light in there as well.
As for ventilation, I don't currently have any. My room is not very warm living in England, but the light seems to keep my closet at a good temperature. If I get a 120mm fan blowing in there would it badly effect my grow?
I'm using soil I bought from my local headshop with a neutral PH and about 3 weeks worth of nutrients already in it. The seeds were some cheap things since its my first grow and I'm experimenting, "Nirvana special" they were called.

The plants- end of week 1
Looked in my closet and theres life 
! I'm watering them around every 3 days since they don't seem too thirsty right now. No nutes yet until I get to the 2 1/2 week stage where my soil will start to lose its goodness.

They're really taking off now, its so exciting! The soil had dipped a bit leaving a long stalk going up to the first set of leaves, so I added a bit more to cover it up a bit. Looks much better now.
If anyone has any input I'd appreciate it a lot! Any help is more than welcome.
