Hi Folks. Help me out, will ya?

So, this is my first attempt at a CFL stealth style micro grow. My first attempt with CFL's period. I have a filing cabinet with two full drawers and a smaller drawer at the top for small office supplies. I'm going to be keeping the bottom drawer and top drawer intact and I've stripped the door from the middle drawer. I have attached just the door to the bottom drawer so the two now function as one. I still need to build some sort of support to keep the middle door sturdy but that should be simple enough. So, the dimensions are 26.5"H 14.25"W 18"D. I don't know what the square footage of that is but I have 6x 23W 1600 lumen bulbs. 3x 2700k & 3x 5000k. Works out to 9600 lumens. This is a trial run for the most part just to dial in everything and get my routine down. My question is... Will 9600 lumens in my box be enough for one plant? Happy smokin' ya'll. :joint::hump:
 
Also as for nutes I have Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice Grow, Age Old Bloom, and Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizer. Just some stuff from a friends leftovers. Will this work? I don't plan on vegging long, maybe 2-3 weeks then to 12/12 so if I use a good soil will I even need to administer the grow nutes?

I started my nutes on day 4. just go real light on them. I have fox farms trio and it says to use 6 TBS per gallon, I used 2 tea spoons.
As for your lights, they get a tad warmer than one would think. I have 176 watts in a dresser and two computer fans wouldn't touch it (97+° in it. I have to leave the door on it open till I get a better fan. So make sure your fans you have are up for it.
 
How old is the plant now? No problems with feeding that early in life? I've always heard feeding before 2 weeks can be quite detrimental to a seedling.
 
So, here is what I'm working with. I still need to light seal it, get something reflective in there and get my fans set up.. I think I'm just going to use some computer paper instead of mylar since I can't find mylar anywhere near me and computer paper is cheap. I know the middle door looks janky as fuck but it's all I could do. I had to use a hammer and screw driver to remove it from the drawer but it works. Please, ANY TIPS OR SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.
