First you mentioned the light from Growers Choice. If it broke would they pay to ship it back and send you a new one?
Because I bought two oscillating fans from them that broke within two weeks and they gave me a hard time. Telling me send them a video. I tried that once before with a differant product someone told me to send them. Yeah my email says can't send the file is too large. 10 seconds and it was too large. Besides if the thing doesn't work, what will a video show.
If you read their web site they will tell you all the wonderful things they will do for the customer.
Enough about them just buy from someone who will really back it up. Maybe a local store or Amazon. With amazon if you can find the number to call( increasing harder to do) They will make it right for you. Thats important with big dollar items for me.
I was thinking if you are only allowed two mature plants then grow two huge plants. Get the biggest tent you can reasonably handle for just two plants. I have 2, 5 x5 tents, two plants could easily fill one of those tents. You could grow one plant in there and take up most of it. That way you get some poundage legally.. In another tent you could grow a mother plant and a clone or two to replace your flower set up. I bought two spider farmer 4000 lights because they said it would flower a 5 x5. They are too small a foot print for that, I ended up putting both of them in one tent and buying an bar/array light that can draw 680 watts in the other tent.. It's physical size is near 4 x4 so it has a much better PAR foot print away from the center. Do your research on the lights foot print out towards the edges and corner.Count those lines they show in their PAR chart, is that number really at the edge of your tent or only 18 inches from center? 900 in the center area is all the plant can handle so something beaming down 1800 in the middle but 250 in the corners is not the best light. Buds off to the sides in partial shade won't be much good. I had four good size plants in one of those tents and they shade each other out below the tops. But maybe start smaller and make your mistakes on something cheaper. My SF 4000's weren't the best buy because they don't flood a big enough area. A 2x2 or 2x3 yes they would be good.That was a waste of money for me. The other thing is watering your plants. How are you going to carry 5 gallon buckets up to the 3rd floor? I only go from the kitchen to the bedroom and I complain to myself. I want a tap and sink in the grow room Ha. If it gets to be real work you won't enjoy it. I'm gone 2 or 3 days when I get to the plants I have a couple hours of work to do., not really what I envisioned myself doing. It means my other chores get second billing or never get done. I end up just wanting it to be finished, like a job, thats not what I wanted. I started with 12 seeds, one didn't make it. I finished them but took clones and now growing them out. I know it doesn't sound like much to keep up with but it is. I think number one is enjoy what your doing.

Thing is though, I'm already a month into my grow and have made all of my purchases. 
I think you may be responding to page one.
Lights and fans couldn't have been off for more than an hour but still, that scared the piss out of me and has totally made me paranoid. In fact, I already checked the room once since starting this reply, lol no lie, although this Jack-the-Ripper I've been vaping might have something to do with that. Yikes. Anyway, the dehumidifer will be spending the night elsewhere until I sort this out. I also turned off the circulation fan and a fan I had running in my lung room just in case.
