Doing my first indoor grow. What works and is worth getting.

I am getting ready to start my first indoor grow. I have ? as what to get that is needed and is proven to work with quality. I did my first outdoor grow and it is getting ready to be harvested soon. I think i did a pretty good job outdoor but I am a complete novice when it comes to indoor. So I have a 18x18 room that i am going to use. I would like to keep 5-10 plants only on this grow unless it is better for me to start smaller being this is my first attempt. Any advice on what to get would be great.

Ohh yeah I will be buying everything i need soon so I will be waiting 2 weeks and then buying everything I need thanx.

What's your buget?

$500-800 I dont want to go super crazy Preferably

I like to use car limo tent on windows cover with plywood. Then for you get a 1000w or 2 600 if you can. A few wall fans. Good soil and all the pot sizes you need. 1 gallon 2 gallon 5 gallon. If you don't need to hide the plant I wouldn't close it in with a tent or plastic. The airspace alone will help with heat. I would realy look at the 600s that would give you a 4x8 area to grow in. You will also need some good dry way anchors, eye hooks, some chain all from hardwhere store. Also get a good timer from the hydro store. Basic cheep timers mess up after time running lights. That should keep you in budget and 5-10 plants.

ok is there any specific brands that are of better quality that i should look at. I only want to buy once and cry once. I can and am very able at makeing my own stuff that would help cut cost. I am not afraid of the hiding them. it is not an issue. I guess I am trying to get a feel of everyone's idea of what works best and make a judgement on what i should buy

look up maxtoolsales on ebay, they have great cooltube and hooded cooltube sets for great prices.

Are digital ballast worth the extra money? also is it better to have two 600 watt or 1 1000 watt for lights. Besides the obvious extra 200 watt. i am going to be spending money on twice the bulbs if i have two lights.

I like digital. And a 1000w will give you a footprint of 5x5 while 2 600w will give you 4x8. So that is the difference along with the 200w.
