Really would love some input on some good brand name potting soils to start my plants after germination is done.Also,do I use the same soil after I transport them to a larger pot for flowering?Please,keep in mind I'm working with limited space.Was thinking of using 400w mh lights once the plants sprouted,then 600w hps lights for flowering.

Q. What kind of lights should I use?
Cheap 4 ft. cool white fluorescent tubes : for germination/seedlings
400 watt Metal halide/HPS : for personal home growers
1000 watt Metal halide/HPS : for some personal growers and commercial growers.
*Use at least 40 watts per sq. foot of grow space.
