Yeah I Grow in soil but For sure you'll need at least 1000wt bulb for Flowering...And we started with two florescent lights,3 clones in a plastic cup, and foxfarm nunts.We didnt spend any money everything was given to us,everything but the nunts and foxfarm soil.Now we have a full complete grow going...everyone has to start somewhere.

sorry correct me if im wrong nikki but are u saying he should use a 1000 watt hps if the space is just the closet it looks to be 2x2 maybe 4x4 400 watt should be more than enough and i think a 1000 will cuase too many heat issues in such a space

The space is 17" x 23.5" x 7.5' tall a 1000w light i think would be way too much for an area that is less than 2 square feet.
