ya def for under alot less then 1000 bucks u can rig a nice little set up. kinda sounds like u want to be small? t5 or compact floros maybe?

hydro is def doable first time out BUT if you do soil first it is MUCH more forgiving id say and a good way to learn what some deficiencies ph problems look like without loosing ur plants. plus u can save urself a bit of start up cost not having to buy a hydro set up and all the other costs that are associated with it. 4 dollar pot and 8 bucks in potting soil ull be good to go, and maybe a few amendments or ferts when/if ya want.

there is a great TEK type write up here at the growery too, it takes u right through the whole process.

And said he can cut holes into the attic.  Go for the HID lighting system.  It pays for itself in the long run?

I would def go with an hid setup. Especially a 400 watt setup for your closet. I run two 8 bulb t5's and one 4 bulb t5 in my veg room.....and I really wish I had bought a hid setup instead.

I also have a friend that has flowered under t5's and the results weren't the greatest. If you can't go with hids then try cfl's.

For well under a 1000 you can pimp that closet right out......easily. all the bells and whistles
