OK so i've been trying to read up as much as i can on indoor growing as i am a noob and plan to in my apartment this fall. me and my roomate will be using her closet to grow (mine to keep the clothes ) so we will have a lot of space. i keep reading that hps/mh lights are the best and i've been looking where to get them cheapest.

first issue- i don't really know what i'm doing yet. would you suggest someone who hasn't grown yet get an hps light? i'm afriad it will be like trying to go from crawling to flying...

second issue (if you think i should try it)- can you use...say a 400 watt hps light for vegging and flowering? or just one or the other? cause i have too much to worry about getting this started up than having to distinguish lights for the two. any advice on that? if i HAVE to i will, but i'm lazy and just wanna grow budss already



if it's cool for both then i have more issues...
ok well more specifically, i read somewhere that if you want less than 10 plants, than a 400 watt hps is a good place to start. anyone with experience know how much this translates on an electricity bill??? it's a nice two bedroom apartment, but not the biggest place. will it use a massive amount of electricity?


if you got through all of that- thanks!! it was kinda a mouthfull but i appreciate the help!
