Well basically i am starting up to grow for the first time..i have decided to grow in soil. anyway i pretty much have the basic's down. i am going to go to lowe's to buy fox farm soil. would i be able to get fax form nutrients at lowes or home depot? if not are there any sites that sell them? i also planned on using distilled water for the entire grow, is that ok? now on to lights..where can i go about purchasing some good grow lights? i have some money to spend but not a huge budget so can anyone help me decide on where online i can buy light bulb setups that will be good for the vegatative and flowering state as well? if i o have to use two different types, which is good for whiich? basically my main concern is the light setup, i just need to know where i can buy them. any help would be appreciated. i am looking forward to learning alot from this.

This is my first grow too. I have 2 clones in an earthbox and a 4oo watt hps. They're doing good i think. New growth everyday. We'll see what happens.

i would go with the cfls because they put out hardly any heat,use very little energy and are very cost efficient.the 150w. replacement gets 2600 lumens!:peace:

go to home depot or lowes to get ur cfl"s and fixtures.the MH and HPS puts out alot of heat and thats not good for a small crop in a small space.

well i decided on cfl's basically because of the minimal power consumption they have compared to hps's..how many cfl's should i use to grow around 4 plants or so?

i have three plants in my aerogarden and ant 2 150 w. replacement cfl's for each plant.thay are still very small, so the aerogardeb hood is good enough for now.
