Herbies is reliable to buy seeds from. Try a incredible bulk, kosher kush, AK48..etc
Smart pots are legit, get some fox farm ocean forest and bag of perlite. I suggest going organic but might be to too much when just beginning. Its real simple though..
You can use cfl lights but theyre not AS legit. I hear the 42 Watt ones are the best. If you can afford it there are these lights called T5 HO (High Output?)
