Hello! I'm working on setting up my first grow! Got a room in my basement I would like to set up the project in! 
I'm really not interested in necessarily winning an award with this stuff or growing enough to smoke out a small army - but I do want to take a little pride in this and put a good foot forward. So without further ado...
I've been doing plenty of reading and a whole lot of thinking and I believe I've got a good idea on how I want this all to go down!
I want to grow four clones (clone strains are TBD, grabbing them in Portland, should be indica and 1 wk old) in 5 gal buckets with soil in a 2x2x8 grow box lined w/ Mylar and a fan positioned in a 6" exhaust port toward the top of the box for ventilation through another 6" port at the bottom. Water with a Dyna-Grow and Dyna-Bloom nutes. Lighting will be 1x400w MH lamp on a timer.
Having read about most growing techniques I plan on Mainlining all of them, that sounds like the best option for good yield and not having a limit on head space.
I was going to veg them at 18/6 until they reach 12" at which point they'd be flipped.
Then after that it'd be a matter of loving those ladies until they can be harvested!
SO, what I've got a couple of questions:
1. Mainlining - is that technique going to have the best yield/is it the best for the size of my room/lighting/medium/etc.)? It seems like technique choice is a little more about preference than anything - just wondering if there's a better option.
2. Vegging - should I veg to 12"? I know it's going to double/triple during flowering, so could I even veg to 16"? (what would the benefit of that be if I did?)
3. How long is all this going to take - it seems like this piece in particular is fairly arbitrary, but if anyone could through a rough timeline at me that'd be great!
In advance, thank y'all so much for the help! I really appreciate having people share their knowledge and experience!
Cheers folks!
