Well first off, I want to thank everyone that helped me along with my first grow. There were so many problems with multiple power outages, heat problems due to poor ventilation, the list goes on but you guys stuck with me and helped me as much as possible! So again, thanks! 
So, here's the layout:
Grow area: I have my setup in a closet that measures 42" x 42" x 84" The entire room is lined and sealed with a bubble wrap style insulation that is lined on one side with mylar. This stuff not only looks great but is super durable and reflective.
Lights: 3 135w eBay UFOs. Regardless of the bad opinions on these "cheap" lights I really like them, they are bright as hell, and its what my budget allows! :thumbs:
Intake/exhaust/circulation: For intake I have a small fan mounted on the wall which happens to be an exterior wall to a cellar. There is always cool fresh air coming through this area. Also, this fan has a replaceable heppa filter on the back.
For exhaust, I have a 4" Vortex Powerfan that leads to a carbon filter that measures 18" x 6". This keeps the room at 82° pretty constantly.
For circulation I have 2 6" fans mounted on the walls that blow on 2 of the 3 lights and a 12" fan that blows across all 3 lights. It sets right at the door so it also helps to pull in fresh air.
Soil: 1.9 cu ft of Pro-Mix BX, 8 qt of Miracle Grow Perlite, 1 cu ft of Harvest manure and compost.
Pots: I have 3 3 gal pots and 3 5 ltr pots. I got lucky and the 5 ltr pots to fit down in the 3 gal pots so I use them to catch run off. The reason for the difference in pot sizes is because some of the plants will be put outside in a few weeks.
Light Schedule: Lights come on at 5am and go off at 9pm. That's 16 hrs of light and 8 hrs of dark. I know 16 hrs is a little weird but it goes with my work schedule.
Nutrients: General Organics GO BOX along with Super thrive when needed, Epsom salt, and unsulfured molasses.
Strains: This grow will start out with a mix of Autos and Photos. Once the photos are big enough they will be relocated to a nice place in the woods that I've chosen and cleaned up. Its a south facing slope with a few large rocks at there back. The strains are as follows:
2 Mini Guns- Auto (fem)
1 Cheese Candy- Auto (fem)
1 Grapefruit- Photo (fem)
1 White Widow X Big Bud- Photo (fem)
1 Bubba Kush- Photo (reg)
All of these seeds were free from Attitude during there birthday promo except the Mini Guns! :boob:
All seeds were put in soil after germing in paper towels for 2 days. They are on day 2 right now and look great. The Bubba Kush was started a few days after the others and popped above the soil late today and should have leaves tomorrow!! Hopefully I will pictures up tomorrow.
To all of you guys and girls, please share your thoughts with me along the way and if I'm doing something wrong please don't hesitate to point it out!
