I am prepared to start my first ever indoor grow... that is, except for buying a light. I have a closet space of 45" L x 25" W x 72" H.

I have looked around and have seen a few HSP lights that are within my budget, but I don't know about all of my options (i.e. Air coolings, EYE Hortilux bulb vs. standard, 120 vs. 240 volts).

I also didn't know if it would be worth an extra $100 to get a ballast that will allow me to use MH plus HPS lights, since I was told that MH is better for veg, and HPS is better for flowering.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated as I want to finally get on with this instead of just thinking about it.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find a faq that goes through all the steps (from germination, to when to start ferts + which ferts to use, to flowering) that would be great. I think I know what I'm doing, but the more info I have the better.

Thanks.
