Oh, romdog11, as far as the lights... I'm living in an apartment and my fear would be the landlord seeing a spike in the electricity being used in my little one bedroom here. My goal is to try to grow for as cheap as possible and with as little equipment as possible (like, no more than 200 watts being used TOTAL... and maybe sans AC). I know, this is NOT the best method, but I didn't have to pay for these seeds and it's JUST an experiment for now... but it would be nice if I could get a SMALL harvest out of it. I think my wife will stop my project if she caught me putting an ac in my closet... however, I WISH I had that kind of electrical flexibility!
