Thanks for the awesome advice! However, the air cooled reflector with ballast is way out of my price range. Also, I cannot use my entire closet space because I live in an apartment where maitenance likes to drop in unexpectedly so stealth is an issue. I was thinking of having a cabinet that is about 16 square feet. I figure I could save a lot of money by using cfls b/c I won't need all the cooling devices.

Anyway, anybody have any basic grow cabinet instructions that would be good for a newbie growing a small strain like lowryder? Also, I will have a journal of my grow so you can all witness the miracle of life (and death :rastasmoke: ) with me. Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated.
