Iam not a professional grower by all means. But there are somethings i have learned just from the past few weeks. iam on my first grow. 1 cfl (Compact fluorescent) about 7 bucks from walmart. Fan walmart 5 bucks. Soil and pots about 12 dollars. You can go cheap trust me. iam growing in my closet in my room just one plant. Theres always a ghetto way to go. If your a big time grower and you act supiscious then yea they will come after you but if you grow 1 or even 4 plants you will be ok.
