Orangeman, Here's a site where I've gotten some lights. They have a huge selection to fit every need and budget.

Light Bulbs, Rope Lights, Halogen & Fluorescent Light Bulbs

I got two 105 watt full spectrum fluorescents to go with the 150 watt hps. I have the two large fluorescents hanging on opposite sides of the 150. Works well and keeps heat down. They aren't cheap. But they have a wide selection of other lights to fit your needs.

As far as odor goes, we're growing Cal Bud right now, into our ninth week. The smell is considerably reduced compared to the bag weed we grew for our first attempt, which came out way better than the original stuff the seeds came from. People sometimes drop by and they smell something but it isn't weed. No alarms go off. We grow in our closet and keep the door open to avoid heat build-up. If we know people are dropping by, we shut the bedroom door and no one's the wiser.

Best thing to do is to start collecting all your essentials now, nutes, tools, etc, so when you get ready to jump in you're fully prepared.

After our first grow, I decided that I wasn't going to buy herb again. Just grow. It's not that difficult. Everyone has their idea as to how to do it. The best way is what works for you. Also, if you're growing for your own bones, you need to grow at least three plants to insure that you get one female. Good luck. :smokin:
