Thanks for the replies! I am going to start out with about 400 to 500 bucks to spend on the setup. I am hoping to spend only more money on nutes and simple maintance items! I know the more powerful of hps light to get the better off I would be. The reason I am going smaller is the WIFE, lol! She said go ahead and do it to save money, grow your own. She asked for a small setup though. This will be only for personal use. So I figured the 175 to 250 hps and a couple fluorescents would be a nice small setup for 2 to 3 plants just for the wife and I. Thanks again for the info guys.
