I just planted 2 seeds at 6am this morning that my cousin got from a dispensary and I can't recall the name of the strain. I made a miniature stealth grow room in the bottom of my dresser that I can use for the one plant im growing until it gets to big to fit. I am using two Warm White Light 23w CFL's that have 1600 lumens and 2700K each while the plant germinates and sprouts. I am planning on getting either Full Spectrum or just regular Cool White CFL's that are like 23-45w with about 2000+ lumens and 3500K each that will sorround the whole plant at about 3-6 Inches away (So about 10-12 bulbs total) when the plant starts vegging and Flowering. I am starting with an 18/6 light schedule and I have a Basic Soil Medium . I need advice on what light schedule I should use and when I should start flowering it (12/12 Light Schedule) to find out if it is a male or female. I took pictures at about 10pm of my mini grow room setup and I need advice or tips on how it's set up.
Here are the pictures Fell free to give me any advice or tips.

Thanks....Sparkk one up!:leaf::leaf::joint:

u want cool whites for veg and warm for flowering and can get them pretty close without burning your plant.u want to veg till about a foot or till u see alternating nodes, the plant will preflower on 18/6 at 4-6 weeks usually by itself then u know your ready 2 flower when u want
 
u should try to get a 5500k-6500k to veg her. im doing my first grow and i started with 18/6 for but 20/4 wouldn't be bad either. i believe plants need rest like everything else. how tall is the box. looks pretty short. your can flower early to keep her short.
 
6800 kelvin for vegging, 2500Kelvin for flowering

Use mainly veg lights when vegging but toss in a few flower lights

to mix up the spectrum a little, then when you switch to flower have mainly

2500K and a few or 1 6800k depending on how many cfls you run, to give a slight blue in there and once again

it will mix that spectrum a bit but still copy fall of the year .

Good Luck with your grow
