My new starter setup

Ok, here it is. I had 2 t-12 "shop" lights, so I thought that a cheap way to start. After reading until my eyes litterally were bleeding, I figured I can't go wrong with a 5000 daylight, and a reg white light. I didn't have a spare shelf laying around, so I figured I would build one. I went to Home Depot, grabbed some 6' closet metal shelves, they were 8 bucks each. Then I tried to figure out how to attach them to my basement concrete wall. Tapcons.... So I cut out some of the wall insulation, tapcon on some 2x4s reisulated with while foam (white is good). Couple clips and chains to hold it all up. I now have 4 6' shelves, 18" apart for 50ish bucks....

Here is a pic. iPhone so not the greatest pic

This is a corridor towards my cold celar. It is through that door you can see in the picture. It measures 8' x 6'. I am lucky enough to have been given 2 600w hps, so I was thinking about a full conversion. It's 4 concrete walls, a hole already for venting outside, and with some creativity I can have rain water fed in from a barrel that is just on the other side of the wall... Why not right?
