New Grower donkeykong's grow cabinet

[donkeykong]

I'll blog my first attempt at growing here, with my DIY cabinet that is in the works now. Im new to this pastime so I wanted to try something small scale, and after reading around autoflower.net saw the 32oz growing competition which gets going in a couple days.
Feels like deciding to run a marathon a couple days before the start but I figure I can keep it simple and have some time to do my research along the way.. I only need to work out the germinating plan for the moment then I have a few days before I need to have figured growing medium and some lighting etc..

So according to the comp folks can start germinating on the 20th, I have two days to get on it. I ordered some seeds today, from a local place so hopefully they will be here for Tuesday morn to get soaking. I also picked up some diamond mylar and cleared out a cabinet, its 3ft x 2ft x 5ft at least. I figure big enough to get a couple of plants big in there (at least as far as their potential will allow in a 32oz container).

Bit of a rush job, but I don't imagine I can seriously out-do some of the guys really competing with lots of experience, but it does give me a good reason to get on with it asap and it will be fun to compare results along the way, Im sure I'll learn some things!

with that much space you could grow 10 or 15 32 oz cup grows.........

Blimey, I didn't realise that. Im not sure how big they will get on a container of that size. I guesse oversized is larger than undersized anyway. Plus I want to have some space around for light to work its way around the plants , since I wont have so many lights, first grow. Id love to set them rotating also, so they grow and finish well on all sides. So my 5, should all have enough space to coexist by the sounds of it.... Awesome

Seeds I ordered from a local supplier, I couldn't spend too long checking everything out or awaiting a long delivery, so I basically filtered by what will finish fast, yield well and not outgrow my cabinet, and ready to ship. Also hopefully smaller plants will do better in the 32oz container limit.
Ive gone with 5 seeds, all new to me along with the process of growing them in general

DNA Genetics / 60 Day Wonder
World of Seeds / Afghan Kush Rider
Green House / Green-O-Matic
OO Seeds / Auto Afghan Mass
Pyramid / Auto Anubis

Should be in by Tuesday so I''l be startng germinating at least a day later than others, prbly on 21st. In between I have to work out germination, growing medium. And the growing cabinet.

Good thought, thanks for that!
I was planning to be active posting on the build with some images, plus I think maybe there is something I can post on the vape forum also in the meantime.
Feels like a race to the starting line but im having fun with this already
At a minimum Id like to yield something tasty and useful, and probably try and turn some of it into e-juice, I was thinking about this some time ago might be worth a go.

you poor thing if you posted this stuff sayin' hello and a few shorter divided posts texts
you would be there already
it won't take long and is a security precaution for the site against spammers and bots so it is needed
your just under the slight time crunch for this situation
I am sure you will get there easy enough if you just poke around a bit on a few grow logs and comment "nice plants" and things of the such it is fairly easy to get there
just make two paragraphs two posts on your long lay out of your build of the cabinet thread it will help also

This Kong's...so strong, it isn't funny!
Can make a Kremling cry out for Mummy!

He can pick up a boulder with relative ease
Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze
He may move slow; he can't jump high
But this Kong's one heck of a guy
