All you can do is to do your best as to what the books say. They were written for a reason. First off make sure you have the correct cfl's...6500K for veg, and 2700K for flowering. Be sure to have at least 1 cfl per plant for the first week or so after it pops ground. After that you will have to start using more. I went to a total of 7 for my 1 plant and it turned out gorgeous...too bad it was male though. Make sure you get some decent soil...spend a few bucks and get a package deal from foxfarms or some other company if you like. Try to get soil that has worm castings, bat guano...stuff like that if you can, plants LOVE that shit. Buy a moisture meter, EC/PPM meter, PH tester, basic stuff you need to make sure everything is going ok. Also too make sure to get some good nutes, again Foxfarms has some pretty good stuff, and it's all organic. I don't use foxfarms, i use B'Cuzz, and i LOVE that stuff, always had great results. Those are the basics. Good luck and have fun.
