That 2ft grow light you have on the wall looks good. You can buy those at walmart, they are actually called grow lights. They cost about 10 dlls each. If you bought 5 plus, you could mount them on a board hanging overhead. With cfls, use the 100watt. You may need a few. I have 7 of those 2ft tubes and 5 cfls in a closet thats 4ft long and 2ft deep.

this is my first, would one big a$$ CFL work? i also am wondering if there is a website for cheap premixed soil and nutes, or cheap hydro kits under 50(might make my own)

ya, for 1 or 2 plants another cfl and the lights you have will be good. You can buy some quality indoor organic soil at a hydro store or a garden center is probably cheaper.

i would not do hydro because the equipment just to check ppm/ec and temp and ph would blow your budget. I think i spent about 200 for ppm/ec, temp, and ph readers. and hydro is not forgiving unlike soil. i would get foxfarm soil that will give your plant about 3 months worth of nuts. so u can do 4-5 weeks veg and then a month flower and then u might need to add nutes. i would suggest about 3 gal pot. and u can get one big cfl or u can get small little ones and have a few but 40 bucks on bulbs is nothing. if u want a solid grow u need to invest more

If it burns hot replace it with cfl, less hassle. Feeding your plant nutrients. If you have good soil and use good water you should not have to do too much feeding.

You should go with fox ocean forrest soil and as for nutes I wouldn't worry about it at this point since your just starting and seem to be growing for personal consumption.
