thanks man... ugh my mouth started watering when you said silver haze... Yeah I know soil is the best for beginners but the reason I went for the harder method was because I would have a lot of time on my hands... but either way, I'm going to stick with soil

They have ballests on ebay with have a socket for both MH and HPS bulbs.. I think im going to get that... You really think 400 is enough... I want to grow about 10 plants and I want to try and evenually get an oz out of the each plant

for air flow i plan on building a ventilation system that will vent air out into the apartment... and bring fresh air in... I thinking I could build some sort of CO2 system to fill the closest.. maybe dry ice or a drip system

what do you think
