Thanx for the info guys. I think that I'll just start off by buying a good light and grow in soil first just to get a feel for the whole growing experience and move on to hydro on a later date. I just emailed "FunkyMonkey" about the 400w mh that he's selling in the Advertizers and Products forum, I'll see what he wants for 1 and hopefully I'll snag one if the price is good.

This may sound like a stupid question but does anyone know what would happen to a marijuana plant if you just treated it like an ordinary house plant? Say one of the plants that I plant to grow turns out to be male and I just took it out from under the light and put it by my kitchen window.
