good luck dude, germination and all that info is there...

Well since your a newbie like me, you should get CFLS( compact Fluorescent lights) Read about the "whats the deal with fluerescent lights" thread here in this section... Reasons why CFLS are great?
1. Cheap... Inexpensive... Do not take almost any room at all compared to those HID or HPS lights that take a hella lot of room, make noise, and make a lot of heat( from what i've heard)
2.You can modify them and make a reflector out of the cfls to concentrate light on the plant ( also explaiend on overgrow)
3. The kelvin degrees on the cfls make all the difference, the specktrum will either promote veg state. decrease veg. state., promote flowering stage, and so and so...

Gl and hf, cheers
