ive never been on any website like this one before with message boerds & etc so if there is anything i should know i would be appreciative if you could give me some insight
last but not least i am wanting to start a grow tent in my closet something small maybe 1 plant flowering maybe another 2 or 3 Veggin & cloning and all times, for the flowering i was thinking a 250 watt MH & HPS lights would be enough. but i wanted an opinion for more experienced growers

Yeah if your talking about 1 plant it will work depending on how big you want that plant. 250 isn't gonna be a light you can get a plant very tall with. Myself the smallest bulb I'd go with even for just personal would be a 400watt.
Your also gonna need another grow area besides the tent if you want to keep some vegging and taking cuttings while also flowering. (You may already know this but since it wasn't stated I have to add this) Your also gonna need to pick what lights you're gonna use for the cuttings and the vegging plants.

They will work for veg growth. I wouldn't use them for flowering. A 250watt would work for vegging a few plants also. I just like more power for flowering but that is a me thing. That and I like full buds all the way down the plant.
This was done with a 400watt HPS
Not gonna happen with a 250

I've grown with a 250 plenty of time just haven't done it since the 1980's cause I want more then a 250 can provide. A couple of 400s isn't gonna turn any heads if that's what your worried about. A few 1000's wouldn't for that matter. (which are the size bulbs I've been using for quite a few years now).

what about in an apartment? & haha awesome! i wasn't even alive in the 80's also, i thought about starting with 4x4 grodan grow blocks after i get them germinated & sprouted transplanting them to clay pellets in a DWC you think i would still have a big bacteria & algae problem?

You don't need the 4x4 if your planning to go to a dwc system (great method of growing by the way).

Just cover the exposed rockwool it grows algae in it easily.

Start the seen in a small rockwool cube once it germinates. The towel method of germinating the seeds is the easiest and one I use to this day. Go to the clay rocks once the roots penetrate the cube.
I myself use ebb and flow is what I use now but DWC is the easiest and simple to set up.

Well you need start doing a little research into electricity.
You are going to have to add up all the amps of the equipment you are using, and then figure out how many amps the outlets you are using are running.

Nah I don't think it will blow any fuses. Not with just a couple of 400watters.
Set the timers so they start 1 minute apart and that way they won't pull their starting loads at the same time.

I'm all for legalization but most the people around me are against it. Simply cause they fear it will drop the price on their buds. Growers want to keep it medical.
Yeah going by the name I'm gonna guess your in a big state along the gulf. There pretty hardcore there and I think your right about the gov having to make it legal first.
Get started let us know how things are doing and I'll be able to offer a little more advise. I think you pretty much know what you need to in order to get started.

yea. i mean who wouldnt that business is really profitable because of it being illegal. i am in favor of legalization too even though it could cut down on that profit i think it would still do more good. it would be amazing the day come i could walk through a downtown & just smoke a joint with no worry.
& awesome i didnt wanna start it & not know what im getting myself into. i move in my apartment in aug & as soon as i do. im getting to work! super excited

ah one last question my closet of choice is one under the stairs in my apartment. you think it would be easier to use the whole room or a grow tent with the issue of trying to separate the lighting
