I didnt do any searching when i suggested the 150w hps but heres one for 50$ on ebay. I mean for 50$ you cant get a better light, even if you only use it for 1 grow it will pay for itself, and then you can go leds later when you can afford it.

I don't wanna feed you false information so i'll let someone else chime in with the lighting stuff. But, when it comes to lighting, it's best to save up the extra cash and invest in something that you're gonna be happy with. If you browse through the lightning forums, you'll see a bunch of posts about people buying the wrong lights. It makes you spend more money in the end haha. As for wattage, I think 125w will work just fine.


Also, keep in mind that these are coming out soon!

I believe he'd need to buy the wires and connector separetly but I could be wrong. Might be easier to buy a pre-made fixture or a DIY kit.

Yea that stuff too, and the skill and patience and tools to assemble the stuff. I learned alot building my first cobs, there was a thread with a really inexpensive build on here thats great for getting your feet wet, when it comes to mounting leds on heatsinks, drilling and tapping and all that fun.

I wouldnt waste my money on those cheap leds, they might be ok for growing lettuce but you need more for canna. You would be better off with 150w hps. I think it is timber sells quality built cree cob led lights, otherwise rapid led has parts and kits for a 3 cob light that would work for your space and dont cost much. If your really up for some reading, i know quantum boards are all the rage nowadays. I was around when supra was king of the led section, and learned a lot about led lights, pretty simple really, but go ahead and post those lights in the led section and see if anyone recommends you get them.

Yea, those should work fine. Looks to be around 3 gallons. Just make sure to have proper drain holes.
