ADVICE ON LIGHTING FOR SINGLE PLANT ONLY!

Basically i just want to use my basic cupboard which is about a meter wide and about 1.5m high for ONE plant only, so thats ONE AUTOFLOWER FEMINISED SEED
this will be the first time im growing AND just want to use one seed.
The main things needed is obviously LIGHT WATER WARMTH SOIL + SEED.
but baring in mind i just want to produce ONE plant, what sort of light should i use
I know to keep the light about 2/3 inches above the plant
Im not the best at understanding all the technical stuff so i just want to produce a plant thats small and GOOD quality. the yield can be low, but as long as the bud is good
ALSO im just looking to plant for 9weeks max

MAIN QUESTIONs
1) how many watts should the light have?
2) CLF or any other (please specify)?
could someone post links of cheap good lights that'd do the job simply and easily
OTHER QUESTION1) where can i buy GOOD soil from (in the uk)

I think,
1) 2700k and 20-30w each, in total 100w or more. Four from the corners and one from the top of the plant. If you're not able to work on it then buy one bulb higher than 100w.
2) CFL is your best shot. No need link, go to supermarket or hardware store or any other shop connected with electricity.
3) Growshop
Good luck:thumbsup:

okay i might just buy a single bulb seeing its easier
also, what is all the blue red light? and cool white warm white :S in flourcent light?
will simple CFL 100w 2700k do the job?
how long will i need the lights to be on for?

whats a grow shop
there DIY stores in UK and they only sell compost and stuff like that, no ready soil /;
would a mixture of the following to do the trick?

Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Compost - 50L from Homebase.co.uk
and

B&Q Perlite Small, 0000003723449

if so, how much of each is required

ps. sorry for questions not being as structured

Yes one 2700k will do the job.
Perlite for water drainage. Add 3/1 if miracle gro is without.

okay thanks i'll try finding one of them lights then

and when you say 3/1 without miracle gro what do you mean?
3:1 ... miracle gro compost:perlite?

Who's giving a hand one of you "register and ask immediately" guys, loosing the whole arm.
3 compost 1 perlite, 4 compost 1 perlite, 5 compost 2 perlite, 47 compost 19 perlite... However you feel comfortable.

You asked an advice and you got it. I'm done with you and you were the last "register and ask immediately guy" I responded.
Happy good growing.
