First time grower here, i've got a spare closet i'm preparing to grow in. My goal is 4-6 plants in the space. I've been reading around the site about lighting but let me emphasize i am a NOOB. However, a very capable noob. Dimensions of the closet are 68"L, 44"W, 8'h. I'm still trying to understand the different color bulbs for different stages of growth, but is there a single light (hood, preferably) that will take care of my needs? Will i need to change bulbs with the different stages of growth, or can i control it with ballasts? Ideally i'd like to get away with a single 6" air cooled hood, an inline fan, and a carbon scrubber. What bulbs will i need? Also if anyone reading this has experience with electrical. Should i be able to run this on the same breaker as the bedroom, or will i need to run a new source with it's own breaker?
