Both AN and canna are good products. I'd recommend t5 for veg and hps for bloom check out my links for more detailed information.

Welcome and whatever path you choose good luck. And happy growing.

hydro = faster, if done properly it delivers high results but is less forgiving to mistakes
soil = much more forgiving but slower, depending on your brand some do not need much nutrient additives at all

both nutes are good as stated above i believe AN might be a little more popular

metal halide is best for vegetation stage but a good high pressure sodium will work nice through a whole grow
of course for flower you will want HPS for best result but a MH bulb will grow your plants
if you have the resources and set-up by all means use them both but if you want to save you should be successful with just HPS

reading and researching are good but experience is the great teacher
good luck and take care
