just the thoughts off the top of my head man.
hope this helps you in your search for 'free' meds

I would like to use most of it. I think with a couple of the 300 equiv. CFLs on the sides I could at least introduce vegging plants on the sides. I like the idea of 2 400s but I think I would rather start bigger and add another 400 or 600 later.
