    Default First time grow.

    I'm starting my first grow ever and I'm using a 15 watt cfl and two 30 watt 36 inch fluorescent tube lights that are "cool white" light. I'm not looking to do anything too serious with my grow because I'm just working with materials I had around the house. I attached a picture of my plant it sprouted about 4 days ago. Anyone have any advice on my grow? I'm just growing off of a bag seed from some regular old weed by the way if that helps.

    well if you are planning on going through a complete cycle and get some bud then you will definately need more light and some nutrients. you can get a 150 watt hps for around 70 bucks on ebay and your power bill will go up about 10-15 dollars a month or you can get more cfls. Here is a ling to an exact guide on CFL lighting for marijuana growth http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-...cfl-guide.html and you dont really have to get too fancy as far as nutrients are concerned but dont use miracle grow. Go on ebay and get some fox farms nutrients. invest another 100 bucks into your grow and you will be happy. another good thing about the investment is that you will always have the lights you buy and with these you can always grow your own smoke and get away from that pot dealer that thinks he is the next pablo escobar of marijuana one more thing that is important is to make sure that you dont overwater. to check this just insert your finger about 1 and 1/2 inch down into the pot (along the inside edge of it so as not to damage roots) and if the soil is dry down there then water until you see runoff coming out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. .I wish you good luck, Happy growing, and

    oh and one more thing. put some duct tape around that pot. if light hits the roots of that plant that plant is gonna be very sad and we wouldent want that now would we? also add some more soil all the way up to the bottom of those two little round leaves, Doing this will allow for a bigger root system, and the bigger the root system. the more water and nutrients the plant will be able to take in and the bigger the plant will be, meaning bigger sticky icky gooey ooey NUGS baby OH YEAH!!!

    Yeah I did that a couple times (adding dirt to the bottom round leaves) and I'm really trying to do a 12/12 from seed grow just as a fun experiment for my first grow. I would invest in a hps if I had the money but at the moment I don't but hopefully soon I can upgrade. Thanks for your input by the way i'll add the duct tape later tonight after the fireworks lol
