just wondering if someone could help and give me some general help!

new to the whole growing scene. I was going to purchase and indoor system today, not sure that I was really purchasing the right system for the money. Really not too sure as to what i need to help it really grow. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

before you spend money on a system i suggest you read read read hit the faqs section and go crazy

I agree. You can never learn too much, and there is much to learn before getting into growing. It's not exactly something you just jump into.

check out the grow forums

Agreed, if you want to get a quarter from your plant, grow without any knowledge.
If you want to harvest several ounces per plant, read, read and read again. Ive been growing for a month or so now, and have read everything in the basic and indoor growing section. Now I know how far to keep the light away from my plants for maximum yield, how much humidity I need, how often to water, what nutes to use, when to use them, when to flush, what soil to use (NO MIRACLE-GROW!), what temperature I need, how long to veg and flower, when to harvest, topping, pruning, FIMMING, sidelighting, SCROG/SOG, transplanting, taking cuttings, rooting, bugs...
The forums here are much better than any book you could buy. If all the information here was sold as a book, it would be priceless.

By the way, as for an indoor growing system...

How many plants are you planning to grow?
Where - in a closet? How big is the closet?
Whats the temperature of the closet in summer and winter?

For a closet, either a few CFL's/energy saver bulbs will do for a small grow - 1 or 2 plants - but ideally you want a HPS/MH setup. The bulb will cost about £15 for a 600w (400w is best for a closet though, I have a 600w HPS and mylar in a closet and the temperatures are barely manageable), the ballast will cost about £30 for a decent second hand one, and the reflector will be £15 brand new.
£60 for a decent setup (£70 including mylar) where you can get at least 3-4 ounces every few months, or spend £120 a week for an ounce? Ill go with the growing, thanks.
