pretty much all of these questions are answered already in several different areas of the growing sections of the forums...

more or less all of those questions are impossible to answer with more details though...


soil - depends on where you live and what is available... most 'potting soils' will do, but you'll probably want to add perlite to it (even if it already has some)... possibly some other things like vermiculite too. Some also swear by avoiding any soils with time-released nutrients in them (like many miracle grow soils), but others also grow with them perfectly fine.

lights - depends on your budget, as well as the square footage of your grow area and height of your grow area (Flouros and CFLs are good for smaller spaces since they don;t run nearly as hot as MH & HPS light)

As for the strain you are growing... couldn't tell ya, but I'd just google for it personally peoples yields will vary greatly on alot of different factors... and with this being your first grow, expect smaller yields than what others might brag about... you will probably make mistakes along the way... and some people with really good yields are insanely good growers that can recognize plant problems before the plant even realizes it!


ps. don't forget about proper ventaliation for your closet... it is often overlooked, but just as important as your lighting, especially if your using MH/HPS lights that produce alot of heat

good luck!
