Peeps get caught mainly by being overly trusting with other peeps.
Jiffy pellets work great for starting the seeds, yes. Just throw a few in a humidity dome and you'll have some nice sprouts in no time. The sprouts may need a little help standing up at first but you can give them a helping hand with twistems. I like to take 2 twistems (unseparated) and just separate the end so it forms a "Y". Then you can use that to prop them up until they get nice and strong.
For lighting, think more like 400 watts. I have a 400 watt metal halide lamp which is adequate but I think the high pressure sodium ones are supposed to be better for flowering. If you're really serious about doing some growing then it'll be worth your while to invest a couple hundred in a good lamp. What's pg&e anyway? Pennsylvania Gas & Electric? I wouldn't be too concerned about anyone getting suspicious over the extra electricity used by one good lamp. After all, you could be using that lamp to grow legal plants, right? It's really just the people running the really clean large scale operations that have to worry about that.
Oh, and I'm not sure why you're worried about temperatures and frost because it sounds like you're planning an indoor grow so hmmm... Anyway, hope this helps. I should have made you find this stuff out for yourself though.

It's really not as hard as you're making it, I think, bro. Just get a good light, pot 'em up a little at a time, have the light 16/8 for a couple/few months then cut it back to 12/12 for like 8 wks., water regularly (if growing with soil), air circulation is a plus, stay away from mircale gro but guano's good for the flowering and then when you harvest, hang tehm shits upside down for a couple weeks in a dark room. That and prune some of the leaves off before and/or during the flowering.
I think that's most of all there is to it if you're not doing anything like lst/scrog or whatever.
P.S.: It gets 30 degrees inside your house? I'm sorry man. That's pretty shitty. I would definitely advise against growing them somewhere that cold. Find another spot in your place to grow. At least regular room temperature is good.
