As for outdoor's it could be done if your Seed is Indica altough it's a
bit cold here at the moment also light only going from 6am to 6pm at the
moment so u havnt even got enough daylight hour s to produce a good plant
indoor's this time of year for sure, ill pass on some cheap place s in the UK for grow light's a 250 would do grand for seedlings and maybe a 400 hps for flowering =, well as said Mail me at above

Take it easy for now.

Heh, take it from me - DONT go and buy a 600w HPS for closet growing. It gets insanely hot in about 10 minutes, and its just overkill. eBay are brilliant for growing systems, just do a search for 'hydroponics' I picked up a 600w HPS with ballast and reflector, all leads included, for £65.

Edit: thats including p+p!

How big is the locker? If you havent got a space bigger than a few feet across, deep and about 5ft high, then you wanna invest in either a pure indica strain or a Lowryder.
Lights vary a lot - you can pick up a 600w HPS (High Pressure Sodium) with reflector and ballast for £60 on eBay, or you can buy a few compact flourescents (CFL's) for about £20 max.
It sounds like youd be better off with buying a few CFL's - make sure you have at least 200w of power though, or your yield wont be anywhere near as good as you want. Also, they give off VERY little heat (you can actually touch them while theyre on) so theres no chance of burning your plants. Keep them within about 2" of your plants, make sure you plant them in a big pot, only water twice a week (once for seedlings) with NO nutes until week 3 and youre off!
Anything else you wanna know, just ask

Oh, by the way, there are a few Lowryder crosses popping up - theres was a really good site selling Lowryder crosses but I totally forgot the site! Ill have a look for it later, in April theyre bringing out a LR x AK47, which apparently stays compact and produces a pretty decent yield - at least an ounce per plant (Dry weight!)
