also, is that just a pure layer of perlite?
I am sorry dude, I think he was talking to you! And yes, a layer of perlite on top. Helps to keep moisture in the soil and great for light reflecting. And about you HID bulbs. Use a M59 ballast for MH and a S51 for HPS. Both are just basic ballasts that can be easily wired for 120/240/408 ect. The HID bulbs at your local Wally are ok but not that good at growing. Better bulbs are out there. Look online, tons of options. I prefer Eyehortilux, but like I said, many good options. You can achieve good results with just CFL's. Just need too keep them as close as possible.

I see, i like the perlite idea for reflection i never thought about that
This grow i will continue to use cfls, and until i get the funds.
But i wanna look at MH and HPs when i go into testing out my hydro skill

Cool, I think you off too the right start. Play and experiment. Though during the veg stage I would use as many 6500 as possible, just a one or so of 2700 for balance. Then when flowering just the opposite. Many 2700 and a few 6500 for balance. Good luck in your grow. I will be following it!
