Higgins and NoeNoe, welcome - I am a noob doing my first grow - skunk #1 and orange bud - I just got my medical card and once I have what I need hope to grow for others who can't as I think the quantities will work out. You should be able to get all the help you need here. It's been really great for me. I have a tiny grow room so a 400 watt was all I could handle, but I have 1 big plant and 7 -18 plus inch young plants under the light with room to spare. The room heats up, but just about right. When I had to have them under a 250 because my ballast went out, it was actually too cold.

Good luck to you and all newcomers!
