Yo spliff thanks for the first bit of info. I actually have been reading nonstop since I first posted and already made the decision to buy a better tent. I got an original bud box from the UK. I didn't want any of the toxic issues with a cheaper unit. So I got a large bud box on the way.

Also I have a friend who is grows very successfully with organics and not hydro so I think I'm going to go that route. It's probably a bit cheaper I would think as well since I wouldn't have to but a whole hydro system. I'm pretty sure I will be going that route.

I think some of my biggest questions are what kind of fans should I get and also what would be the best lighting system to get. I want to get something that is already to go as far as ballast, reflector, timer all that stuff. Any good recommendations would be much appreciated. I'm going to use a combo if hps/mh. I just want something where all I have to do is change out the bulb.

Again big thanks to anyone that can lead me in the right direction with links to purchase equipment I will need.

alright here goes...wait...:joint:..ok. ..better...
Honestly after my researching before purchasing lighting, I came up w/ this cheap system. I went w/ used 400w hps/mh outta local ad, I paid under $100.00 for ballast/lamp/2 bulbs. I was jacked about that deal. I was going to buy a Galaxy 400w ballast and lamp w/ lamp upgrade to a 6" cool tube and Eye super blue bulb. That would have tallied over $329.99. It comes with a 5 yr. warranty that I liked and was switchable to Metal Halide. But, then Having to buy that MH Bulb? Another 50-$80.... Now your over 400-500 just for lighting. Now we didn't get to talk ventilation. The most important part and most neglected piece to your grow room set-up. I havent even gone there yet. using fans in nice places to hit the surface area and keep the temps cool under the lamp....lol. ghetto:mrgreen:
