the supplies so far i will have the big light hanging down with 2 others as of now i dont know where to buy one of the Y sockets yet still looking? any suggestions? also the soil i think will work. ive decided to order 5 white widow feminized seeds. the lights i got were all the same type i know you guys said get 2 kinds but i forgot to get the daylight ones (most important going tomorrow).prolly just going to put white comp paper up or a white trash bag on the walls and close everthing off with a sheet...i still need to get a fan but not gonna get that until they start to sprout...this is a budget grow so looking for the best deal...any other suggestions are welcomed with open arms!

you're going to need aLOT more light. Like eight of those bulbs would do nicely for one or two small plants. Remember to get the blueish ones (6500K) for growing and the reddish (2600K) bulbs for flowering.
Those Y splitters are available just about anywhere like Home Depot, Lowes, Wal Mart or any local hardware store

gettin started good.... i would say to take those cgfls bak and get the huge one that they sell at home depot. bout the size of a little foot ball. two of those will make alot of light if you put them in some kindo of box painted whiteand bent and taped to be a reflector. (dont wanna type full instructions use ur imagination to make a hood)that would cost about 30 dollas. the y splitter can be bought at home depot too or walmart. i would go ahead and get bigger pots too. somewhere between 1/2 gal and a gallon judging by your space u can do about six like dat. or you can make it so the small cfls are built into a wooden box reflector or sum. i like cfl grows u can get gud yields wit it especially if its ur first grow. i dont doubt that u will prob move up tho. good luck homie ill try ta chime in if i can
