Hi all,

Firstly great site...spent ages on here already just reading stuff and checking out the pics etc.

Im thinking of getting my own grow on!,

We have a cupboard/shelved area in one of our rooms.....

The size of this with the shelves removed i would say is

approx....

3 feet wide....
2 and a half feet deep...
6 feet high,

Firstly is this enough space for me to get a grow of my own going?

The area inside is all white which ive read is good,

but im pretty stuck as to what i need to get a quick and cheap setup going,

Mainly the lights im confused with.....

I will be covering the fron of the area with a blackout curtain or some similar material to keep the light in and also prying eyes out!!!!!

i have seen this light and ballast kit on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/600-Watt-HPS-Complete-Hydroponics-Lamp-Kit-600w-Ballast_W0QQitemZ230422293694QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN?hash=item35a63d2cbe

and also this one.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300-Watt-CFL-E40-Grow-Light-Lamp-Kit-6400K-Blue_W0QQitemZ260532094592QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN?hash=item3ca8ec4680

but im at a bit of a loss as to what light i need as im reading that u need 2 sets of lights...(one for early stages...and the other for flowering)?.

or is there a light kit anyone can recommend that does it all,

Will be getting some big tubs over the next week....and some fans for cooling...


could anyone give me any pointers as to the amount of plants i could grow in the space i have...

Lighting help..

And also soil and pot types...

Thanks in advance people....

I have looked through this site but couldnt seem to find what i was looking for, so sorry if i have asked a dumb question that a post already exsists on.

Hopefully will add a photo journal of this project too as way of a thanks.....

Sorry no samples can be sent!!!....lol
