Okay so I started a pc grow box I pu an intake and an exhaust fan. Covers te walls up wit emergency blanket and I have a 15watt and 13watt cfl light bulbs in there and my soil is miracle grow moisture control and miracle all purpose plant food. And this is meant to house 1 plant I'm also using the scrog method and a carbon filter. I was wondering if my plans sound good or not. If there is any advice or if anyone wants to send me any seeds ha anything is appriciated:)

Don't kid about the seeds. Some people get touchy.

Plant choice will be important as your room is your limiting factor. How big is the case? I would add one or two more cfls in there, more the better. Just watch the heat though. Get a thermometer that records your high temps, most important tool for small grows.

I would suggest spending a bit on a 5 pack of auto flowering beans. Totally worth it in the long run.

karr is right about the light. if you dont get more light your plant will streach and you will quickly outgrow your case. add a couple more cfl's and start lst early. also start flowering as soon as you can. PC boxes can be a pain in the ass at times if your not in tune to what your doing. good luck.

It's about 1.5ft height and 1.2ft length. And yeah I have a thermometer and all that good stuff.

But is tht really you in the pic? Ha

you just put it into 12/12 early. you need to remember that the plant will at least double in size when it goes into flower, so if you have 18 inches of height to work with i would start 12/12 at around 6 inches tall or sooner. this will give you roughly 6 inches for clearance for lights and whatnot. then tie the branches down to promote outward growth, not upward.
How would I flower early? And would 3 bulbs be enough??

3 bulbs might work fine.

Do you think if I start the light cycle from 18/6 from day one with the seed on the soil to 12/12 when the plant reaches 6 inches? I'm also going to put my scrog 5 or 6 inch above the soil to help keep it short. And I hope 2 or 3 bulbs work fine too.
