I've decided to attempt the grow for the first time. I don't want to produce huge crops, maybe 1-3 plants and the catch is I want to set up a space in my spare closet. It's roughly 3' x 4' x 8'. Everything I've read suggests ventilation and using the correct soil and all that. The question I have is this.
I'm on a pretty tight budget since I got cut down to part time (Thanks economy) I have 2 ballasts that hold 2 12" F8t5/CW (hg) Coolwhite fluoro bulbs each. So I have a total of 4 bulbs.
I know fluoro isn't the ideal way to go. Everything I've read suggests MH or HPS bulbs. However the ballasts + bulb costs for those are pretty expensive. So with what I have now, do you think it will get the job done? Or should I go out and spend the money on the HPS + Ballasts? Any advice from experience would be really appreciated.
