Starting my first grow soon I have a few ?'s

Hey there, I'm looking to start my first grow in the next few weeks and I have a few last minute questions before I get going. I'll be growing in a 16x16x24 cabinet I built which is lined with mylar. So far I plan on growing C99 from Attitude in a SCROG setup. For ventilation I have a Scythe(sp?) Ultra Kaze 120mm fan matched to a 4" odorsok carbon filter. I've decided to go with four 45w CFL bulbs.

I'm wondering if this all sounds acceptable for my first grow? Is there a certain size pot I should look into?

I think that's all at the moment. Thanks for reading and any future advice!

Sounds good to me. Going off your height of 24" plus whatever fixture you've lined up for your cfls, i'd say try a 2 gallon pot. Keep the cfls close during veg to promote a tight node structure.
 
Thanks for the tips! I just remembered one last detail. What should my intake size be? I tried doing the math but I got lost part of the way through haha. My intake is the 4" 133cfm fan and a carbon filter with minimum ducting.

FUCK IT ALL. Fuck CFL, Fuck LED. If your successful don't worry about intake worry about exhaust (smell). If your exhaust is good it will intake from exterior. Get this at the least. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G6W76M/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01

I have that for intake and this for exhaust for the same area youre talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-ACDF6-400-CFM-In-Line/dp/B002JQ14F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357014336&sr=8-1&keywords=inline+exhaust+fan

Get something like this for lighting: http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Dimmable-Hydroponic-Reflector-Pressure/dp/B004L3AQ1U/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1357014405&sr=1-1&keywords=600+watt+system

You can switch out the MH for the HPS when in flower...get a cool tube though that hood is lame...
