Orion's Bud

I've been smoking for a while and have had some of the best. The next logical step is to grow some myself. Some of the plants I've seen people grow have been amazing.

I'm looking for a potent plant I can grow indoors. I want something easy to grow, and can grow in a relatively small area (5ft tall X 3ft wide). I'm would like the cerebral/energetic high of sativa but the ease, potency, and growth pattern of indica. Basically, I'd rather not have lathargic and draining high that some indicas seem to have. Does anyone have any suggestions?
What other basic tips should I know? Where do you get good lights? I heard VHO flux (?) is the best. Also, everyone says they have good cheap clones or kept seeds from sacks they bought. Is it better just to buy online? I noticed seed directories like Heavens Stairway are just a collection of other seed companies. They even have the same type of plants at different prices. Does it matter which subcompany I buy from or is anything from HS reliable?

sorry this post was so long, but I need help to expand the MJ growers culture
