star yes you can post pics. just go down to where it says "go advanced" and scroll down. you will see where it says "manage attachments". just locate your pics by using the "browse button" and then hit upload. as far as lighting, the choice is yours as far as hps, cfls, etc but you will need an intake and exhaust for ventilation. you have to get that heat out and fresh air in.if you can get your pics posted, myself or someone on here can help you out a little better.:thumbsup: as far as lighting times, for veg you can go with the light on 24 hrs. when it comes time to flower the lighting time will need to be switched to 12 on/12 off. some people use the 18/6 for veg and then switch to 12/12.:thumbsup:
