Hi, I'm growing inside for the first time this winter. I gutted out a cpu for a grow box and it's pretty much set to go, but, before I get started I need to pick a light.
Inside the cpu I can only grow one MAYBE two small plants, so what light would I need?
I am still in my parents home so I want to get one that doesn't jack up the bill too much.
And for whatever light how much does it cost to run?
AND finally, which plant should I get if it can't get very wide and not too tall either?

Get 6500 CFL's for veg and 2700 for flowering. Get autoflowering strains. They are nice and small.

There are different spectrums of light that is optimal for plant growth in the different stages (veg/flower). 6500 for veg and 2700 for flowering. If you are doing auto's then just use the 2700 from start to finish.

The 2700 is just a squiggly curly cfl bulb that screws into a normal socket. 1000w hps is way different. You couldnt use it in a pc grow. You'd melt the damn thing.
