My First Ever Grow afghan cfl style

HI all im new here ill introduce myself first
I'm Richard, Im from little New Zealand.
I love my weed and I am sick of chasing it and having to pay top dollar for it
I have decided to give cfls a go as I am limited on space.
Ii have a 75cmL 35cmW about 190cm tall cabinet it's white so that's a plus for reflection.
I have got 3 x afghan clones and 2 x unknowing bag seed.
At the moment the seeds are about a week old
I only have 4 x 20 watt cool cfls on them right now but I will add another 5 x 20 so total of 180 watt cfls
I have also decided to lst them I just started today and will tip them when needed to get as much from the cfl as possible..
I need to upgrade into bigger pots and will do that within the next cpl days.20160102_145246.jpg
But im just here to show off my lil grow and probably be asking for abit of advice along the way ( some guidance will be appreciated as first grow and all)
I have done a lot of reading over the last cpl weeks about growing so hoping for a lil bud at the end of all this haha.
 
Help with soil and nutes would be good like what's the best soil to get? when to start feeding ect.. is it a simple case of high in N for veg and then high in K for flower?

You're in a marathon now. You've done some reading and you have the begingings of a journey. Keep reading up on pot size, what kind of medium (soil, etc.) to grow in.
Get all the light and air circulation going - keep em happy on temps and ph level - That's part of the beginning... Good luck!

If you start with good soil (not treated for 3 months) I wouldn't introduce nutes for at least 2 to 3 weeks after repotting...
 
Cheers man for air I was going to just open the cupboard twice a day pot size I think I'll just get the biggest I can fit in there still undecided about soil n nutes ph sitting at 6.8 is that ok?. Just watering with tap water under 18 on 6 off light cycle.. when my grow shop opens up (closed 4 xmas) then ill talk to them about soil and nutes
I'll try keep updates weekly
 
I plan to have 3 small lst growing plants might look at putting in more lights thanks. I am on a tight budget Tho and running out of room with lighting.any suggestions how much cfl light would I want for my area of 75cm by 32 cm
