My first post/my first grow

So, I’m 28 and have been smoking forever and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I hold down a great job at a large company and I smoke everyday. I own my own house, have a dog and I’m married. I also think I have the coolest wife around because she said to me the other day, "Mike, you should grow your own weed, let’s save some money." She doesn’t even smoke herself! Anyways, I’ve always wanted to do this and now that I have my own pad, I can!

Here’s what I’m thinking:

1-4 plants would be fine with me, whatever I can fit in the tent up to 4.

Was thinking about HTG Supply 400 watt switchable HPS MH Grow light set up. It comes with 400w HPS bulb, 400w MH conversion bulb, four sided(not air cooled) reflector the remote ballast and a timer…all for $164 and a 64"x20"x36" grow tent($150) in my basement or attic.

I’m going to order from Attitude. Was leaning towards a 5 pack of Haze #1 and Lowryder. Are these okay for beginners? Would anyone suggest I go with an autoflowering strain?

So, I would love to get going so I can update this thread with pictures, but I need to think and talk about it a little more before I jump into it.

What do you think of my strain thoughts, lighting choice and tent choice?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts if you leave ‘em!
