yeah i understand you man the first time i tried to grow i spent like maybe alitle more than 1000$ on everything and screwed up very badly ive seen some real good grows with cfls too but i just like hid lighting better if you plan to have a second grow you should really try and get som lowryder seeds that is a perfect and easy strain to grow becouse it does not have a veg stage which means no more than 90 days from seed to harvest and you can still keep the lights on a 24 hour light regime now only if i wasnt scared to order seeds post some more pics when they start sprouting if you dont mind me asking what type of soil are you using its one of the most important things in growing your garden
