haha, sam, as much as i would enjoy that, too much work, too much money, and too much liability. and thanks for the info klondike, i am looking to get about a 1/2 oz a month so 6 oz a year would be right. i think i have an idea for a set up, my biggest concern now is knowing when to transfer from the veg to flower state, how much watering i need to do (i've read once every two weeks or so during vegetation, and reducing it during flowering). the lighting i think i understand as far as time of lights on vs lights off throughout the different stages (correct me if i'm wrong, 24/0 during the first couple weeks, an 18/6 cycle later in the vegetation, and 12/12 during flowering), but switching the bulbs i assume i can find out more by doing a search as you recommended. again, any extra help from anyone will be appreciated
