Well - grow-light wise I'm using the 125-watt version of this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300w-Dual-Spectrum-CFL-hydroponics-reflector-grow-light_W0QQitemZ280301576263QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN?hash=item280301576263&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1296%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

...getting GREAT results with it, so 300-watts should give you more...or maybe you could grow more than 2 plants with it? - as yer in america I'd look around for a Hydrofarm hood with CFL grow-light (You COULD use HPS or metal halide but I can't personally give advice on them...theres someone who uses a cfl hydrofarm with reflector on here so I know they DO exist even if you can't find them on ebay!)

Soil-wise I'm using cheap stuff from poundland (J Arthur bowyer's milti-purpose compost did fine in my first grow..)

Nute-wise - Baby Bio and later Vitalink Buddy added to it during flower...or Bio-bizz grow and bloom 1ml per litre instead of the 2ml per litre it tells you...burnt my plants using it full strength!
