Well, most of this isn't super accessible to beginners. I have no idea what 90% of that means:
This is my Space Bucket! I use 5M of 5050SMD LEDs and 4 CFL bulbs in a 4 way adapter. I use a combination of topping and hardcore LST to shape the plant and then specific defoliation to develop the canopy. Anything below the lighting spacer is removed as well as anything blocking light to budsites. When the plant reaches 40% of the planned height it gets flipped to flower.
As soon as you get out of the set-and-forget solutions like the Aerogarden, there's very little in the way of introductory material out there. It's dive-in-and-Google-all-the-TLAs time.

Seems like a fun project, though. I wish that particular example included total cost.
