thanks so much for the advise/input guys; very much appreciated!

because it is my first time growing, and i'm just going to try one or two plants to start, and because my space is so restricted (closet), i am going to try just using fluorescents.

great advise, image reaper, thanks. i'll invest in some tubes for sure. is the more fluourescent light the better? or is there a limit on how much i should be putting on only one plant?

thanks again guys

peace ~ john
