first, im also gald your starting over. ill try to watch your next better and help anyway i can. here some pointers to start you off. if you got to go soil and cheap on soil then go with Sta-Green flower planting mix from lowes no nutes. its a 1 cu. ft bag and mix it with a 8 qt. bag of Schultz perlite. i like to put a layer of rocks in the bottom of my pots when using soil. i have found plants love this mix. with this mix and anyway i go i go with Pure blend pro grow and bloom, karma, and super thive. go Mh and hps or if only one then hps. if not in budget then cfls, (lots of them) cool and soft. mylar or black/white poly if not flat white paint.
