Me and my friend are both passionetly inlove with mary jane, and we have been partners for a while now. we went down to the store and bought some good miracal grow potting soil, and some organic pots, about 5" dia. we planted 4 seedlings about an inch deep, and put them in our set up. We have a locker ( like from a school) about a 2square feet base, and around 6 1/2 ft tall. inside the locker i have a a smaller locker about 1sq ft base and 2 feet talk, i have a power efficiant spiral bulb in the top of the small locker, and i have all the walls coverd in shiney tin foil. at 1 week into the process the first seedling sprouted and on the 8th day the rest poped out, its nows been about 12 days and they are growing at a fassst rate. Iv had them on a 24 hour lighting cycle and iv been watering every day along with plant feeder and, i put the first dose of all purpose organic fert. on them on the 11th day and they are looking good, the biggest ones about 6 inchs tall and it has 4 GREEN leafs on the top... Just would aprritiate it if you would give me some pointers and tips.... Im a first timer so i welcome ALLLLL comments.... I am having problems with water fabor onn the walls, and i might need to have a few computer fans installed to circulate fresh air...... ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? THANKS!!!

you definitely should consider ventilating that locker and why not ditch the small one and just grow in the big one for much greater yield. What kind of lighting do you have in there?

thats not a bad idea, i am using one of those "energy efficiant" spiral light bulbs, normal household bulb but seems to be doing a heck of a job....

That locker will be big enough for 1 maybe 2 smaller plants.The tin foil is bad idea gonna cause some uneven light spots just spray paint the inside flat white.1 cfl will be good for about a week or so you will need more about 6 per plant and then more to flower.You should be watering about once a week and if you use miracle grow use only moisture control and no nutes til week 2 of flower

wouldn't a gloss, or semi-gloss be better, since it has shine? Just thinking it would reflect light better. I have absolutely no idea though.

water once a WEEK? I find myself watering every 2-3 days because the soil gets really dry..... and inside the locker every square inch of it is coverd in tinfoil so, wouldnt it reflect evenly?

Do yorself a big favor, spend $16.95 on See More Buds - Grow Marijuana DVD . It sounds like you may want to use a soil amendment, like coco-coir, perlite, etc. to give your soil some 'moisture holding' capabilities, dry soil and moisture on the walls with only 1 cfl? These kinda conflicting conditions may be solved by venting the space and using a moisture meter. If you get Garden Knowm's book Marijuana Buds For Less before you transplant it will save you money and time. The author shows you exactly how he got 8 oz of dry bud from 3 female plants for less than $100.00. Complete list of materials, pictures up the wazoo, one for every one of the 69 days and then the harvest. It will make you drool. VV
 
White paint would deffinetly be best because white reflects all the colours in the light spectrum. and you deffinetly should put at least some ventalation in the setup. keep a close eye on your plants to make sure none of them turn male. if you've only got four seedlings your chances aint fantastic. if (or more like when) one of your plants turns male (seed pods start forming just after buds start to grow) then rip it, dry it and smoke it while its small. this theory is like mushies; the smaller the plant the more concerntrated the toxins are. small males wont get you stoned though (you've been warned) it'll just tickle the edges if it's needed. alternitavely move the male(s) more than 10 metres away from your girls so they don't turn them male aswell then when they've fully matured make some hash out of your males it wont be as strong as female hash and it wont make as much, but its the best way to get stoned off a male. I'm not a believer of wasting ANYTHING in this world. good luck mate :peace:peace

Word of warning, the mg potting soil with nutrients added will burn your plants, you should transplant before this happens. Just look around the forum and you will see what I'm talking about.
