Hey you know, honestly, they are right.....even though they kinda slammed ya.... you need to start out slow. There is a lot more to learn then sticking some lights in a room and controlling temps...

Besides, the way your discussing going about it is probably alot more costly then just plain old electricity.

Try starting a cabinet or shed, setting up your ventilation, learn about ferts, tempature controls, PH, soil, etc. etc. and all that good stuff, try a few crops then go from there. If you already did that, you would also want to consider that sometimes generators can mess up your plants if they are near them, and definately hire a contractor, unless you have a friend that is an electrical contractor.
