Don't bother with Metal Halide lights until you're more experienced. For safety's sake, just order a High Pressure Sodium (HPS) grow light off of ebay. You need to do a lot more research if you want to wire your own light system to avoid electrocution or fire. HID lights require special equipment, a regular incandescent light bulb socket will not work.

Sounds like you're completely new to growing.

hg420.com is a great site comparable to OG (not as many users or posts, but the information is solid).

Learn from my mistake and design your grow area before you start growing your plants.

Metal halide and high pressure sodium are basically the same thing as far as mechanics and skill to use ,but mh puts out blue light, hps puts out red. Either one will work fine. Either of them need a ballast to run, and require special sockets. Your best bet is to buy a complete light off of ebay. Your main concern should be your reflector hood, and the type of bulb(some mh, hps bulbs have different spectrums). A mh light is for vegatation, hps for flowering, but you can use either for the entire grow process.
