thanx sublime :D

u think this is a good solid place to grow?

so now wut about lites?
Yeah it looks great. And you can start with CFL's but unless you have a shitload of them you're not going to be getting much when you flower. To grow 10 plants I would at least get a 400w hps.

Ok HPS is a (high pressure soduim bulb) rigth?

So where would i purchase one of these (home depot,or wal-mart)?

And how much do u think ill have to spend?

htgsupply.com will be your best bet. And yes, HPS is high pressure sodium. I would recommend just growing them right on the ground.

You could use it for the whole thing, but I would veg with cfl's at first to save money and life on your HPS bulb. and htgsupply.com is the best place to get grow equipment.

just one of those 42 watter per plant will be fine for veg. I veg all my plants with CFL's. The bulbs are around $7 and the multi light sockets are around $10-$20 at Home Depot. But you'll also need to get a socket with a cord on it from an old lamp or buy one at home depot.
