to be honest with you, im growing these as an order for my friend who will buy them from me for the value of whatever is produced from them. i dont want my expence to outweigh the return. and since hes my friend im giving him a friend's price on the yield, so no 500 quid lighting systems or complicated hydroponics for me...

how can i be cost-effective about this? and i dont get lighting... its a constant sorce... wouldnt holding 1 CFL really close to a plant equal the same as 10CFLs that are 6 feet away? that was my original theory..
