hey im new to growing and im greming 4 seeds (check my grow journal)
and i placed one directly into soil i only have 13w cfls with 2700k they give off 800 i believe and i am wondering i have a grow space with a depth of 15" and a hight of 16.1" and a width of 5.9" how many do i need for each seed? i have the seed i put directly into the soil with only one 13w 2700k cfl approx. 3" above the soil and i use a windex bottle i cleand to spray water on it the soil is kind of clayie and i can spray the water to reach the bottom of the cup wit the drainage holes becuz when i spray or just give the seed water(2 times once when i plantd it and today) the soil goes lower and the seed is revailed so i spray the water on the soil until i see approx. 1.5" of the soil from top going to the bottom is wet(im using clear see, threw party cups) and the water just pretty much stops unless i add more water to it, is this a bad problem? is the seed not going to grow with only 1 13wcfl? i AM going to be growing 5 seeds at a time once the others crack open and i am going to add approx. 4-5 more 13w cfls one over each will this work? i will increase the wattage and bulbs in approx. a month if i have money i am unemployed and have no car and i am doing a mini stealth grow please help me!

a plant with grow w a 13 w shit i had one of my seedlings i forgot about get like 4 inches tall w/o light but it only had the first set of leaves and was white! but iur watering 2 much i only water my seedlings once before they hatch and once like 3 days after then i wait till it sarts to get really dry! throw that windex bottle out and go to the dollar store and buy a UNUSED spray bottle! i know u can find a dollar! also get non see thru party cups youll end up growing mold on your roots! also in a 16 oz party cup all u need is like a 1/4 cup of water! also if u can seed the seed when u water it its gonna die! get some new cups and plant the seed in the dirt about 1in down then cover it! after u watered it!

THANKS! that helps me alot i had 16oz party cups but i lost them in my last grow:( (i got pissed off and threw them at my neighboor:P) i will try ad buy some and i will not water for 3 days from now on and 1/4 cups? ok:) i usally only sprayd it like 3-4 times and it gets about a inch deep then stops i think my soil is what is not leting it grow, ill put black tape around the clear party cups until i get some of the red 16oz ones and ill do what u said water then place the seed in (for my next 4 seeds germing) but if i have 4-5 13w cfls would that be able to grow 4-5 plants at one time if i had them all running? the grow space is pretty small so i think it should work also my parents(yes i live with my parents, BUT i AM 19 years old and i am unemployed thats why and i wont be moving until next summer if i dont get a job) but anyways thanks for the comments ill be putting ur words in my grow journal for every one to see and make comments on :) thanks for the advice and comment REP+
