After a lot of reading and research, I decided to build my own stealth cab. I spent about $70 total.
THE CAB

I went to Goodwill and bought the cabinet itself for $5. I went to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and a Computer Recycling Store for everything else. I'm just using a windshield reflector for insulation, two 3 in. computer fans for ventilation, one 4 in. ft fan for the plants. For the lights, I just used a surge protector that the light sockets go into directly in the box.
THE LIGHTS
Since electricity can be an issue once in awhile, I chose CFL's and a Reptile UV light, because they are made to replicate the sun's rays. The following picture is the reptile light. I use 3 CFL's, 2 warm-toned 26 watt lights and one 26 watt bright-light (27K).

THE SEEDS
I started my first grow using some bag seeds and they are about 2 & 1/2 weeks along. They are about 3 nodes high and looking good. However, I recently came across feminized chronic seeds. The following picture is a feminized chronic seed that I planted 2 days ago that already sprouted... I don't know the genetics.

NUTRIENTS?
I don't feel safe ordering seeds and nutrients online so I started growing with 65% organic soil, 25% pearlite, and the rest is Seed Starter Mix. During the vegetation stage I have been using MiracleGro. If anyone has any advice on soil and nutrients, I'd appreciate it.
MYSTERY PLANT
This is one on my first plants I planted, it's very small compared to the others I planted at that time and if you look closely it seems as though it has two tops in one. It's creating double nodes and has five leaves coming out of the top. Does anyone know what's going on here?

And here it is again, compared to a PBR can.
