Hey Blue, well yeah I guess I have done a little homework. I grew a few plants before outdoors with great sucess and a couple indoors under tube fluros with decent results. This time I hope to get better results using the compacts considering their output and the ability to focus more light where I need it. I went today and bought a couple exhaust fans, a 70cfm outlet and a 50cfm fresh air. I also picked up a few more lights and some new sockets for a more vertical position. I got 2 more of the 42w for veg and 4 23w bulbs for cloning when the time comes. As for a garden store nearby, all we have is Home Depot (where I got everything this morning) and some mom and pop nurseries, no actual supply stores. ( I am going to wire up the lights here in a minute and look at layout how I am going to mount the fans. I found a small squirell cage fan at my brothers that he said I could have, though if it works I dunno, it has been outside in the weather and is possibly full of nasties. Well gotta run for now, bedtime soon gotta work tonight. TTYL
