For the sake of the discussion I thought of a way to cool CFL's today... just put them in your XXL air cooled hood and suck the heat right out of them
Seriously man, you can find a 600 watt hid set up probably with the fan and carbon filter too for about 200 bucks on craigslist if you can stomach purchasing grow equipment from a stranger over the internet( i can't). Your plants will totally thank you for it and you'll get a qp or a 1/2 p instead of an oz. I strongly recomend HID. The CFL's are find for vegging but that HID is awesome for flowering. 400 is fine, 600 is better, 1000 is probably too much, unless you think you might expand later or unless it's not hard to keep your grow cool.
Nutes. If your going organic the Pure Blend Pro is my organic of choice, but I've had real good luck vegging with freeking fish emulsion in my res
For chemical nutes... GH 3 part or GH Lucas is cheap and simple to get a grip on. That's what I started with 2 years ago and I keep saying that I'm going back to it and I know I will, just don't know when.
I had real real real nice taste and good yeild once when I grew with GH nutes up to about week 6, then on a crazy whim I switched over to Pure Blend Pro (flowering) Soil, yes soil mix, and grew them until week 10 organicly in my flood trays. The taste was superduper, I don't know why I don't go back to that, I just may.
