when i was a beginner this was my setup:
*4-6 cfl's.....42 watts each
*random bagseed so i get to know the plant before i bought seeds from a seed bank
*miracle grow soil.....dont use it. i was a noob and used it, had problems with nute burn a lot. get something that says like "seedling starter" and try and stay away from anyting that says "feeds up to ----- months"
*5 gallon bucket to plant in.

then all you need to do is get a timmer and your practically there. good luck

p.s. once i got a couple grows under my belt i started upgrading lights and everything.
