    1st grow... Need advice

    I wasn't sure because i figured more room for root to grow into to, right? You think it wouldn't make a difference if it were in a smaller container?

    My First Grow! DIY DWC & Grow Area, SNOW WHITE FEM FROM SEED!

    the dasani bottles to make domes over sounds like a good idea to increase the moisture for them to sprout, but maybe not needed in your case if everything seems to going ok, as it looks. Nice.

    Cfl / mh / hps

    use a PC fan to directly blow air on to the bulb and blow the heat coming off the bulb and away from the plants and out of the room. u can use AC duct to provide direction for the heat you are blowing off the bulb. if u cant cut holes to ventilate u gunna have to get creative with the space you...

    Cfl / mh / hps

    CFLs are good for seedling stage because they produce low amounts of heat and allow the young plants to get used to light and then work up to the MH and then to the HPS in flowering. Very good route to take, but u can just start with the MH as long as you start it out 3-4 feet above the plants...
