things to get at the store:

1st thing u should get is dirt, unless you're using hydro, then thats a totally different story.
2nd u should get lights, energy savers are great to use, (idk the difference is spectrum, i use em both)
3rd if you've got problems with outlets, make sure u get extention cords, a power bar works great.
4th you will need a timer, for your lights of course. this is CRITICAL to a plant as the light tells the plant what to do, like flower, or veg
5th get some fertz, now this is tricky. in veg you want something with a high Npk so like 10-5-5. N-P-K. in flowering you are gonna want the opposite so 5-7-10. best thing i can think of to use that you can get from a store is bone meal, or blood meal or fish emulsion. check em out.
6th now you have pretty much most of what you need, you will need some little gadgets to check ur progress. a PH meter is a must. a ppm meter isnt really necessary but can to more help them harm.
7th haha almost forgot, pots. you are gonna want atleast 3gal pots. this will help keep the plants from being root bound
8th grow
i think i covered the basics. lemme know if that helps any
