Didn't mean to confuse ya. What u heard about the little leaves is true and Everything u just typed is totally accurate! Get some lights and Go with it.

yeh this is what i'm planning:

1. germinate seeds in paper towel

2. when germinated put under as many cfl's as available but keep temp down in fox farm ocean forest soil

4. put fan in room after day 2 of sprouting

5. on day 7 go to grow spot and start a controlled burn to fertilize ground

6. when burn is done, put some worm casting. bat guano and live worms into spot

7. on day 14 take plants to spot and plant after watering

8. take it from there!!!!

any problems with this plan? this isn't my first grow but it ismy first outside in FL
 
i think warm white is for flowering? i might be wrong but im sure that u need daylight cfls for veg, someone correct me if im wrong tho,.
 
Check it out bro. I did exactly as you are wanting to do. I had a seedling under 3 23w 6500k CFL's for 2 weeks. Then bumped up to 4. This is week 4 and I just threw in two 27k 26w CFL's. They are hovering just over the plant.

I know you plan to go outdoors. But just a thought...Have you thought of tieing your plants over near the ground. I have began to run my plant around the rim of my pot. Its about 7" radius. It is halfway around this pot now. It has 9 finger leaves. It is roughly 10 inches long (I consider it a vine now) and has about 15 shoots going up towards the light. This little shit is thick. You have to dig to find the stem.

Should really think about seriously making circles with them. Looks like there will be 100+ bud sites on this cfl plant.
 
Sounds like mine right now. I aint doin no lst on it, but u can't even see the dirt though all the branches and leaves! May be givin it a haircutsoon to hit some of those tops down below with some light.
 
smm sounds like a good idea i meanthe ore budsites the better right? but the gonna be in dixie cups 4 the first 2 weeks, could i still do this?
 
I'd say get em in planted in real pots as soon as they sprout. If u want a big plant, ur gonna want big roots too, so give em some room down there
