good too see more youngns growing.. dont worry none of us here will give you any crap because you live with your parents or whatever.. growing should be enjoyed by everyone not only to people that have the right circumstances to do it without hiding it too much.. just dont get busted by your folks!!.. k im high and im rambling a bit.. investing in a mh or hps would be the a good option for you mate but id try and find one that puts of minimal heat.. because the noise of fans and whatever will atract your parents like god knows what.. also because your a new grower and i suggest this to every new grower try and get a bunch of cfl and flouro tubes along with your additional lights that way you wont have to worry about burning your plants and if you have enough of them you can get away with more than a decent harvest.. also maybe you should try growing at least 2 or more plants considering how much space you have of course.. as you dont want your first and only plant to turn out male that would be a bummer.. do all this and your grow will be going off like a fat bitch in a biscuit tin!! oh yer mate seeing as this is your first post WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!! hope your stay is a good one... good luck with your grow and make sure you get that camera soon. have fun!!!
