Need some advice for my 1st time grow.

so yeah I'm a marijuana advocate that wants to begin growing High quality buds. I'm not to concerned for growing large amounts; since my first few crops are going to basically be test's and almost all for personal use.


So for my first grow I decided to build a "growbox" out of an older dresser; it's 3'5" tall and 4' wide. At this point all I've done is line the interior with mylar, and mounted a few lighting fixture's.

QUESTIONS

:leaf: so if i choose to go with a CFL set up, how many 6500k lights should I use for vegging 5 clones or germinated seeds?

:leaf: do i need an intake and/or exhaust for this grow box when using these low heat CFL's?

:leaf: What size pots and soil works best for smaller grow box's such as my dresser?

:leaf: should the plant's be hand watered, or is there a cheap system you can either buy or build to water your ladies?

:leaf: What can you expect to yield off 5 plants at harvest with CFL's and this "growbox" ?


That's all I can think of at this moment, so if anyone can shoot me some answers to these questions and any type of advice related to my first grow please leave a comment.

:leaf: Peace :leaf:

More W power you got , better for your plants, (Im using 2x200W + 2x125 W 6400K clf) in/out exhaust is a MUST,fresh air and all that:D Pots are up to you, for clones Im using 2gl pots,bigger they are - better, more root space 8) And if your doin soil grow, yes you will be hand watering them, or you can switch to hydro and make your own sistem. And the yield?That depends on how you do your job;)
