You can't read any information one which system works the best, you can only find out that information from someone who experienced working with that particular product.

I finally have some pictures of the setup that I am trying to utilize! So please, everyone, I need as much information as I can get. Thanks!!!
you said you did research but it looks like you could have done a little more. you're asking about lights. you'll need a ballast to hang the bulb in, and you'll want a metal halide for vegetative growth(you could even use CFL's). and for flowering it is best to use a HPS. which wattage do you need? it depends on your grow space/how many plants you'll be growing
