Ok, heres the deal. I grew 1 pot plant a long time ago indoors along with a cat-nip plant under 2 regular 15'' fluorescents. The catnip got about 6'' and the pot about 1 foot and they were in small 6'' pots with miraclegrow soil and flant food. I have been doing alot of research online about lighting and have learned that since I have limited space, very small budget, I decided the best way for me to go would be CFL's. But I still would like some hand to hand info 'ya know? Well, I would like to grow 3 plants and I was thinking the best thing to do would be to use a box and cover the inside with aluminum foil and reinforce it with some duct tape or something. Or I could build one out of PVC piping and cover it with a white sheet then put a black one over that for the exposed light. I Have one 24'' flourescent, one 15'' and a 25 watt cfl. I put them in a vaccume box and I am waiting for some regular ol' seeds to sprout then I would like to just see how it works out. I do realize I will have to add more lights after it grows some.
I would really like to knows what you guys would reccomend for a grow box/space. Like, how much space does one plant take up, how big will it get, how do I try and keep the plant kind of short but still bud.
As for lights, I was looking at these set ups.
Can someone tell me the difference between the first 3? Thats around my price range for lighting.

And since I am going to be using soil what would you reccomend? I was planning on using Miraclegrow potting soil, plant food, and what types of fertilizer are there that would work good? I have noticed on alot of pics that in the soil there lots of white like pebbles that I do know are fertilizer's.
And whats the vegitative stage and the flowering stage? Whats the difference and what comes first?
I will probably add more questions when I need to learn more.
