Hey man, thank you for the response!!
I ended up getting a 600Watt Light with a HID Ballast.
Also went with a 4" 176cfm Fan and Carbon Filter + my oscillating one.
So far no issues with the electricity.
Got 8 plants on the go, on a 2 by 4ft table.
Just getting into week 6 of the grow, and looks like 7 out of the 8 have finally started to pre-flower with small pistils shooting out of the calyx, the 8th i am not sure of, surprised it made it this far, its been dragging from day 1.
my main issue now is keeping the temperature down, it tends to float around 29c/84.2f at its peak. hopefully the slow growth has not been because of heat stress. i did get some CO2 Sheets which i heard help them cope a little more.
I am going to check out the AutoFlower forums, but since i am here, at what point should i switch from my MH Bulb to my HPS Bulb, and adjust the Light Schedule. The Pistils just started to shoot a few days ago.
The webpage from the seedbank i got my AK47 AutoFlower seeds suggest a 20/4 Light Schedule, but is not clear if that is throughout the whole grow.
anyway thanks again.

RE: My First Grow - want to do it right, but dont want to buy more than i need either hey everyone, i have already read a few posts and have not found answers to all my questions but am impressed with the responses everyone has gave, very positive and helpful. anyway this will be be my very first grow, and was reading some stuff on a closet grow setup, but i am actually planning on using a bathroom. Still a little confused with the lighting requirements, whether it is dependent on the total size of the room, or just the size of the table that contains the plants. Well Rating: 5
