Beat me to it! :P

For lights and growing, you'd want to use Metal Halide lights for your vegging period. Then, if possible, you'd also want to switch to High Pressure Sodium lights for flowering.

And ah! Popcorn weed. I know that shit, I've gotten it a few times up in D-Town myself. But let me tell you, there's alot better stuff out there. Down here in Texas, we don't see alot of the grand name cannabis strains (unless you're in Houston). And to growers around here on these boards, we're not talking about the popcorn nugs off the bottom branches, in Dallas, there is a "strain" of bud that they named "Popcorn", I'm not familiar with what it came from, but it is similar to "Red Dragon" in some ways. Usually it's dark green buds with bright red hairs, and it's light and fluffy.

If possible, you should try and grow White Rhino or Blueberry. Those are more potent than that Pop up in Dallas if you grow it properly.
