i use 3 gal mop buckets from the dollar store
if growing indoors you will need to mix some perlite with your soil to promote drainage a overwatered auto almost totally stops growing and it will stunt it permanently
pot
perlite
soil / organic potting mix stay away from time release and garden soil
light or lights you really need atleast 100 w a plant the more the better i use 2700k 68w cfl's for 12 hr's a day and a hps at night
honestly you would better off with a hps if you have the space for it
cfl's like all bulb lose there kick but they do it at around 6 months so your 50 bucks in lights lose value and need to be replaced a hps bulb also goes bad but its like 20-80 bucks depending on what you want
so in the long run on maint is cheaper
i got one of these and really liked it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apollo-400-Watt-400w-MH-HPS-Grow-Light-Lamp-System-Set-for-Plant-Growing/190843921052?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222002&algo=SIC.FIT&ao=1&asc=261&meid=8913995952974184577&pid=100005&prg=1088&rk=1&sd=230840062756&
you can use what ever but you get denser buds from hps or led
led is a dollar a watt basically and you cant replace the bulbs in a practical sense
