read as much as you can here. maybe add a little desk fan to your grow room would be something to think about. as far as lighting the only exp i have had has been with a 250 watt mh and 250 watt hps both which worked average and were small. if tyouo thionk about HID lighting maybe a 250 watter will interest you. right now im usiong a 600 watt hps and the heat caused me to put in an ac in the closet. i thought this was going to be simple but you really get into growing these plants its addicting.
