This being your first time, just keep it simple. Most of the really good growers will tell you this. Also, yeah, dont burn your house down. There are people that use cardboard in here, but they know what they are doing. You can get a u light and use cfls for a good first time grow. If you have read the grow logs then you should have seen some of the nice plants grown with cfl's. Its cheep and puts out less heat. Just grow a plant, dont make it hard, its a weed. The hobby can be fun, but it takes lots of reading and experience and the way to get there is to start with growing one plant:thumbsup:

Good luck:rasta:
