some sweet questions that im pretty sure most could answer

well, here are the quetions

what are all these light bulbs people talk about, like hps, and cfl, and i dont even know the others are, and how does it vary from bulb to bulb, for example what would be best for a small 1-2 plant attic grow?

which kind of light is most cost effective, and least likely to burn down the house when no one's home?

whats the deal with fertilizer, in all of these grow guides it mentions it, but it doesnt really specify what kind, how much, etc...?

how much ventilation do i need if im going to do the rubbermaid box thing, do i just need holes, or should i have fans too?

how many watts do i need for a grow this size?

what are the best plants for beginers, i was thinking g13 but maybe there is something i dont know that makes this a dumb idea?

how do the additives or whatever work, like big bud, and other things people talk about adding, do i just add them to my water, or do i put it with my soil?

what other things should be in the soil other than soil, perlite, and fertilizer?

sorry for asking so many questions, and i dont want to clog up my history with a bunch of growing sites, or w/e so please dont tell me to google. thanks

Seriously dude, you can obviously read just fine! There's many examples of rubbermaid grows, check em out and take notes. Ill get you started by saying you'll probably want a compact flourescent lighting setup (cfl) and fans in your rubbermaid. Ferts.....just go look at stinkyattics signature, itll make BOTH our lives easier!;)
Good luck and ask more Q's when you're ready!

There's a 'growing styles' sticky at the top of the basic growing section that has micro grow info linked
