Now for the explanation of the items listed:

1&2. Paper towels and Two Plates: When you first start off growin' you must germinate it since you have to start off from the seedling and the way I like germinating my seeds is to get a paper towel then wet it and put your seeds in it and then place it on a plate and place a plate over the first plate so it will be dark and every two days check and see if they have cracked open and are showing a little root. (Pictures coming when I find my damn camera)
3. One pot for lazy grower: Just what you keep your plant in until you harvest it.
3. Two pots for skilled grower: Plant you seedling in a small pot and then once it's about a 8 inches tall transplant it into a bigger pot. This is so the roots will spread through the bigger pot nicely and you plant will absorb more water.
4. Good soil: What else would you need a good soil for???
5. Light for a lazy grower: ICD's are a source of lighting for you plant, but you should not use them even if you are lazy. They do not provide that much light at all because they need to be far away from you plant because they're way too hot, and they don't produce that much light.
5. Light for a skilled grower: CFL's and LED's are another source of lighting that are the best for your plant if you don't have that much money. CFL or LED lights that produce a lot of light do not get that hot and can be 10 or 12 inches away so if you don't have that much cash or just want to be a little more simple with your grow these are the way to go! :)
5. Light for a master grower: If you want top quality lightage for your plants you will need two lights, one for vegitation growth, and one for the flowering stage. Along with needing two different lights, they are expensive, and they also need balast's to power them up, and your electric bill will go nuts! They are not for slangers that want to grow and sell 'cause they will cost more then you'll make selling. Only use them if you want to smoke some top quality bud! :) Anyway, how you use them is just use the MHL light/s in vegitative growth and switch to the HPS light/s when you going into the flowering stage.
6. Water: Nothing special but I use reverse osmosis water, but you can use your sink water too. Also when your in vegitative growth you can use old pillow sheets or anything similar full with sheep manuer and lama menuer and soak them in water in those plastic trash containers for a week and use that dark water to water your plants, ONLY FOR VEGITATIVE GROWTH!
7. Fan: Keep a fan in your grow room pointed at the plants to encourage a stronger stem and you also should have a fan because you MaryJane will produce carbon dioxide witch is like poison for itself witch should be blown away by a fan.
8. Thermometer for skilled grower: Keep track of you temperature and try hard to make it stay around 72-76 degrees F.
8. Three thermometers for a master grower: Keep your temperatur the same and place one thermometer on the flore and one at the top of your plants height and one as high as you can put it.
9. Humidifier: Use it to keep your grow room at 60%-65% humidity for vegitative growth and 50% for flowering.
10. pH meter: You want to keep track of your pH and keep it between 6.5 and 7.0.
11. Technique: Find a technique that you like most and apply it. (Technique article coming soon)
12. Ventilation system: Make one to air out the room.
13. Nutrients: These help out with the yeild of your plant largley. (Nutrient article coming soon)

I'm not done but damn this is a huge article.
