If you are looking for buckets cheap then head to your local grocery store, and talk to the bakery manager. Most of the icing and stuff like that come in 2 to 5 gallon buckets. If you go ask and get a repore with them instead of them throwing them away they will keep them for you and give for free. You just have to wash them out is all. That is what I do. I grow in soil though. I just drill a bunch of holes in the bottom part of the bucket for drainige and air.

Are cooltubes better or just the enclosed air cooled hoods? - depends on how you are growing. If you are going to be doing multiple levels for growing the cool tube will be best if you are just doing a normal grow the hood will work fine. There is plenty posted in RUI on this very subject. Do a search you would be suprized what you find. I run a 600 in an aircooled hood. I have no issues. Well I have heat issues but that is due to me living in texas and no ac for my grow cabs. How big is your grow area? Contrary to popular belief you can have too much light.

Anywhere know where to get cheap, reliable sockets for CFLs or the ones that can hold 4 on a single plug.
Your local Habitat for Humanity or other 2nd hand construction store. Most areas have one and although it may be a drive you can get bathroom light (vanity) fixtures that hold from 3 to 10 sometimes more for a couple of dollars. Typically they have a big stack of these.

well my room will be plenty big as I have yet to build it in an unfinished basement, it will have a small veg cab, flower area, and mother area. Mostly concerned about how many cfm fan I need to cool 2 lights and what to vent the room and clean the air

AWESOME $15 plug-in activated carbon air filter!

I was thinking about buying a $70 plug-in ozonator (OznJr) for my room to control the smell / odor. The scent is really nice and strong so I needed to find something a bit cheaper before payday. Well forget payday because I found a permanent solution for under twenty bucks today! I was glad I roamed around Sprawl-Mart with high hopes because in their home improvement section (think paint and hardware) I found an AWESOME $15 plug-in activated carbon air filter! Now my room has that "new room" smell and nothing else. Product suggests plugging in within 6 feet of odor's source, and requires a new filter ($4) every 3 months, has filter-change indicator. They offer a "Febreeze" version for a couple dollars more that produces a breeze of febreeze but i'm not into artificial smells so I rolled with the bare bones version to just clean the air. Within an hour the bugger was working. And it has an on-off switch. I turned it off tonight and plan on running it again in the morning. No doubt in a few weeks from now it will be running 24/7 ;) :

I have a couple of them that I got when I first started. It keeps up in veg but not in flower so keep shopping for a carbon filter. heh

Thanks for the heads up on scent ya'll, I am in flower but I will save up for the ozn-jr in case it starts to get out of hand. (I hope it does!) For a quick fix at this stage though that $15 find saved my rear end.
