yeah, i've read most of that long FAQ; thanks, i think i'll be ok

just put in my order from insidesun for

250w hps system
2 ona blocks for odor
floramicro/grow/bloom (even though it's for hydro i hear it works well for soil?)
superthrive
rootech cloning gell
mylar

and some random crap; feeling good; gotta get a new lock for the door tomorrow, first priority, seeds should be here anyday and then i'm rolling i just hope i can germinate well enough and at least get a single female from my nirvana northern lights pack; odds are on my side

looks like i'll manage to keep my costs under $400 for everything for my little closet grow. now i just have to start worrying about everything else: heat, noise, odor, light leakage, blah blah blah but any day now the fun starts

wish me luck!
