hello all!

I am a medicinal patient out of colorado an i have become highly interested almost passionate to grow my own medicine as a hobby. There is so much behind the world of growing it is amazing to me. Information and possibilities are endless! I have been trying to educate and i am now purchasing all of my supplies for my first grow! Anyways i have a few questions and any of your knowledge would be so awesome please take the time to read my questions.

First off i am working with a small closet (20"w 41"L 65"H) and i am planning on using soil because i would like to focus on the strain characteristics.
-I am split between a 400w or 600w hps light fixture is 400 enough light? also can i put a compatible MH bulb in a HPS fixture?
-Do you switch bulbs right when you switch light phases?
-can i transplant into 3 gallon buckets through the flowering stage to optimize space? or should i go to a 5 gallon to allow roots room?


There is a shelf above this area that is 18"w 64"L and 24" high that i would really like to use for cloning. I plan to set up a blackout curtain to completely keep light from mixing.
-I have read that normal flourescent lighting can be used for cloning, is this true? What lighting should be used?
-are the small greenhouses used for soil?
