yeah.. if you spend the time reading you will find pretty much everything you need to know here.. the Faq are awesome, good DiY. plus there is always someone to ask.
but You have to put in the work, buy the equipment, take care of the ladies, figure out what you need.
but here is a little something to help you start off with, it was something I had wrote out for a friend
The rule of thumb to keep your electric resonable, is 1000watts per Bedroom.
If you have a 2 bedroom house 2000 watts is about the most electricty you would want to use. 4 bedroom 4000 watts.
on average a decent grower that makes very few mistakes will pull roughly .5 grams per watt of light used,
if everything is done perfectly, c02 etc..
you are looking at 1gram per watt of light, the best growers in the world using vertical grows ( collisum type, the strain of cannabis, hydro, co2, etc... )
have achieved close to 2 grams per wattt.
to figure out how much you will yield, *thanks weedman420*
example.
1000w x 12 hours a day x 65(days flowering) = 780000 watts. Now divide that by 1000
to get ur KWH used. ( 1000 watts = 1 killo watt hour)
so we have
1000w x 12hours x 65days = 780000watts now divide that by 1000, which means I used 780kwh
lets say off that 1000 watt light I received one pound(448 grams)
so divide your total amount of grams, by ur KWH used 448g / 780KWH = .6 grams per watt.
the set up I am running now is 2000w x hours a day light is used( 7 days veg@ 18 hours light is 252KWH, 65 days flowering @ 12 hours light is 1560KWH, for a total of 1812KWH used during the duration of the grow )
If I pull 2.5 pounds (1120 grams) I will have pulled .6grams per watt on this grow.

oh also there is a site linking where to buy stuff on one of the forums, It has been stickied for your easeto find it. htgardent supply is good custermer service, sometimes cheap products that break, but they replace it from what I Hear good deal on lights and stuff and htg, then at the business lighting site you can get, vortex fans for cheap, way cheaper than hidhut that i mentioned earlier..
