Mostly a lighting question

I am a first timer and have set up a nice little closet space. The closet itself is 6'x2'x8'. I have a nice small aeroponic system for starters. I also have a S&P TD-100 vent (recommended in another thread) for a venting and have most all of the goodies ready to go. I also purchased some nice feminized PPP. I have some bag seed to practice on as well.

The main item I have still not purchased is lighting. I have put it till last as it is so important and expensive components. I have read, and read, and read, and read and cannot make up my mind and would really like some input and guidance.

I have to say that stealth is critical (duh right). I am only growing for myself and am truly not (at this time) a heavy "consumer". I am really only interested in growing "just enough and would like to keep the whole thing very, very minimalist.

I would appreciate any input or advice at all. Thanks in advance!

Well I would suggest when you veg just use a CFL set up... it works great

for your flowering invest in a 400w HPS... I used it just for 2 plants and I probably got about an oz.5 from each...
hope that helps a bit

Depends on your buget. I picked up 4 48" flo's for plants at 3100K for $10 a piece and 2 48" fixtures for the same. More than enough for 3 or 4 plants. They are for flowering though. If you want a small MH for veg you can pick up a street light at Lowes with a MH bulb and the ballast for around $40.... Check the link in my sig for pic's. Good luck.....
