some leaves are turning yellow is that ok?
Yes it's OK. Not thrilling, but OK. The plant does this because it is eating itself to get some of the nutrients it needs, since it can't get fed through the nonexistent roots. It is completely normal, but hopefully you will have left enough leaves so that there are still some green ones once the cutting gets roots. I don't even cut my leaves in half just for this reason, unless I take a bigger cutting than what is normal for me.

also some that havesigns of darrrrk spots is that mold? is it safe to cut off or is that stressful.
Mold is hairy-looking and rot is dark spots (probably, at least in this case). Either way you don't want it. It spreads rapidly in wet and warm situations, like your humidity dome. Not only is it safe to cut that crap off, but it is highly recommended. Always try to save as much fan leaf as possible, but that stuff has got to come out as soon as you notice it. Also I have noticed that where my cuttings are most likely to get mold is where any foliage touches the lid.

looking to lst some shorties with t5 for my flower I don't have much for for hps. do mh bulbs generate alot of heat?
Do you mean you don't have money for HPS? If you have to choose between the two than you should get HPS instead of MH. That way you can use one for both, but I would still try to get a little blue wavelength in there when vegging, or better yet during veg and bud. The blue spectrums of light produced by MH bulbs are much better suited for vegging plants than HPS, which is much better at flowering. You may want to consider a digital ballast or switchable ballast, so you can have the proper light for different stages of growth with just one ballast (preferably digital). And yes both produce quite a bit of heat. This is the main disadvantage of HID lighting. Plan on spending as much on venting as you do on lighting. That's rough, but a good guideline to start with.

and my last questin where can I get some equipment for cheap?
Actually you should look for the most expensive equipment available. You get what you pay for, there is no doubt in my mind. Of course there are some exceptions, but I mean in general. I know that's not what you want to hear, but the most expensive things are actually the cheapest. I certainly understand a budget however so there's places like Ebay of course, garage sells and Craig's List. Search ol craig if you don't know about it. I think there's also a Weedbay or something, where the auctions are all things weed. Be sure to take shipping into consideration when buying things over the net. Also who takes care of shipping on returns? There's a lot of reasons I like to shop at a hydro store.
