So if you want to grow them outdoors, they will flower when the amount of daylight hours diminish and then you won't need "light gear" or timers. You can induce flowering at any stage of the plants development indoors, simply by giving it 12 hours of darkness, and 12 hours of light, this will force it into thinking the growing season is ending and it will flower. The plant is born in a vegetative state. As long as you give the plant 18 hours of light or more it will remain in a vegatative state, growing larger and larger. The plant will double to triple in size from the point you induce flower up until harvest. Thats just the basics.

P.S. Yes if you want to grow indoors you need some powerful light gear hahaha. Remember, the idea is to simulate a sun hahaha.

Well, so i figured out this:

Only in indoor growing i can simulate the flowering, so i decided i'll grow mine indoors.

Questions that rose up:

1. What light gear will i need? Remember we are talking about small and few plants, five, in the best picture.

By the way, something i must say:

I looked at my seedlings today and i saw some bugs, the size of this dot --->. , that looked like tiny tiny little spiders. they have no colour. i read some stuff and i think its spider mites.

Question that rose up:

1. Can these little things harm my plants?

Again, thanks to everyone, and FREE THE WEED

Yes, mites'll ruin a grow left unchecked, and can suck the juices out of a little plantling pretty quick. Any product containing pyrethrums may help, or you can use Neems Oil. You cannot just leave them be.
A temporary solution may be washing them off in the sink, assuming the plants are small. They tend to congregate on the undersides of the leaves, especially where the leave meets the stem.

There are lots of fixes, but you gotta get on it quickly with seedlings.

Also, maybe look into some of these RIU member tobacco mixtures.
Some claim to be 100%.
Mites hate moisture and cool temps.

I heard the sun kills them. if i leave my plants in the sun, will the mites die?

Please help me with the light gear

For five bonsai sized plants I guess a 250 watt hps would work. Since you're kind of new at this I would get one of those mini systems that include a bulb, reflector and they have an internal ballast, it'll run a little over $100. Really simple all ready to go in one compact reflector housing. You'll need that and a timer to control photoperiod, they're cheap though. Then you just plug the light cord into the timer, the timer into the wall, and you're set. Have you thought about soil? Its also best to go organic there too, a good starter mix is a 50/50 blend of promix(organic potting soil) and perlite.

If you can't afford the hps I would go with a butt ton of warm white and daylight 27 watt cfl's hung all around your plants. That will be far more difficult to do however...

Sorry but I can't help with the mites, its never happened to me personally. I heard those suckers really can ruin a grow though...

Here's a link to a 400 watt hps, turns out its only about 10 bucks more than the 250 and it will give you denser buds. Sorry but it looks like the price tag is closer to $175 for the mini enclosed units...

Here's a cheapo remote ballast 250 watt for $120:

So i figured it out, if you grow cheap, cheap is what you get.

Everything i putted in my list i did. I bought the nutrients, the containers, and its all set up. I checked the plants and every single one is growing a new leaf, so, good improvementes

I got it straight, the only question i have is:

1. What HPS means?Everyone advised me to buy CFL. What is the difference?

Again, thanks to you all, and FREE THE WEED

PS: there is this store, very close to my house, and it sells light kits. If i could find them here it would be such an help. The links of the lights and reflector is:

Light: http://www.theartofjoint.com/site/?ctipo=&elprod=54

Reflector: http://www.theartofjoint.com/site/?ctipo=&elprod=413

Is it worth buying? Is it a good deal?

Any questions with the translation, ask me. I'll be online, so i'll answer right away

You're looking at just the bulb, it CAN NOT go in a regular receptacle, you'll need what's called a BALLAST, which is another word for transformer which will make sure your light is getting the right amount of electricity. This applies to HPS High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lights. You can make your own CFL fixture very easily, and with a little electrical knowledge you can make some pretty badass ones. Rule of thumb is my book is 8,000 lumens per sq ft or about 25,000 lumens per sq meter. Make plans, draw them, revise them, make your calculations... then build. That pic you posted, way photoshopped - but you can grow a decent plant in a small pot.

So, is this kit a good deal? It has the lamp, reflector and the ballast:

I don't know your currency, shop around though as you'll find huge differences in prices out there.
