I'm going to have to rethink the lighting, I'm now torn between an HPS light or going with several CFL's. What's the heat difference between say a 400W HPS and 10 x 40 Watt CFL's ? I may do some combo of both? It would be nice to have a few CFL's that i could position as need be as the plant grows-

I agree I was probably reaching with the idea of growing enough for years to come in only 3 or so years, but I'll be happy growing whatever I can for the experience. As far as storage goes, I was thinking of vaccumm sealing it and then keeping it in a freezer. Anyone have any experience with keeping it that way and it working without any problems?

Still trying to get all the drywall worked up, I promise to have pics of the space this evening-

THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT!!
