so this is my first indoor grow, its just some average seed i had laying around. i thought id figure out what im doing before i go crazy with buying nice seeds. so far i haven't run into any problems but i could definitely use any suggestions y'all have to offer... i'll be the first to admit my setup isnt the cleanest, but its been working so far. it is a temporary setup till may when i move out. i am also workng on boxing it all in and along with reflective material

closet setup

• 1 75watt cfl
• 1 24" grow light
• planted in 1 gallon+ pot
• miricle grow potting soil mix

please give any tips, suggestions, and constructive criticsms you may have, as this is my first grow.

thanks!

i am definitely working on the lighting situation, and have since separated all seedlings i have into individual pots.... as far as lighting goes, whats a good rule to follow as far as # of lights/watts per plant?

Click to expand...

3500 lumens per sq foot. or something around there. goto the newbie forum there's a sticky thread about lighting

You can jus buy a few more cfls to get some lighting around them because they look a lil stretched ...you can get a 2 pack of some 26 watt cfls from home depot for about 6 or 7 dollars
