ok im setting up a grow-space in my closet. i want to grow around 3 plants. problem is... i dont have much money. i WANT an HPS light, but i dont think i can afford it AND a ballast.

so ill have to make due with fluorescent lights. im just wondering if i will be able to grow well enough with just cfl's through ALL the stages? and how many lights/watts will i need for 3 plants? in there any hope for me growing with only cfl's for the entire growing period?

please help me. thanks alot for any info.
