Hey,
My advice to you is to not use miracle grow next time, id use fox farm its a pretty good batch of soil. i use it for my outdoor plants, but i stopped using soil all together now Im just doing hydroton and rockwool with a flood system, w/ about 7 different types of nutes its good... also remember to use a foiler spray it helps.

it wont burn them out it has chemicals in it that arent fda approved for growing plants for food though. if ya smoke the buds who knows what could happen.

ahhh ok, well foxfarm is a good brand and ive used them various times the soil is great and full of nutes... but my advice is to also buy some nutrients for your plants.
i use gh. like flora there are a variety of nutes you should look into

lol sorry mate that wasnt a dig at you just a general observation that a lot of first time growers tend to keep there lights too far away cos they think there gonna kill em. some plants just like to stretch :)

Yeh bloody males are the devil unless you have a great strain which you wanna cross or something.... Keep your lights close... they are young enough to not be affected too badly by the stretching!

get more of the same bulbs they are fine and the equivalence
is fine. id say youd want at least 2-3 buld per plant but the more the merrier!
