most of this is in grow faQ but you might not know that but for future reffrence you better check it first cause people will flame the crap outta you for asking a simple ? like that. ok so if you have 2 plants and your using cfls you want probably 4 per plant if you want decent results. the colored spectrum you want to use for vegetive growth is 6500k aka the blue colored one and for flowering you want 2500k the red ones. as long as you got a few fans some decent soil and somewhere to blow the air out of you growroom your gonna have fun growing but if u cut corners you will be pissed in the end for all the wasted effort. and o yea w/e you do check up on male/female plants because outta 2 plants 1 might be male or maybe both of them will be male witch is no good unless your producing seeds or w/e so start with about 5-6 seeds casue it will increas your chance of 2 females then males and just put them into a paper towel till you see the roots popping out and plant them. but the most easist way with less complications is plant your seed straight into some soil keeping it lightly moist and wait about a week until they pop up and then put like maybe one or 2 blue colored lights on them until they about 3 inches maybe 4 and then give them full 8 lights. and make sure the soil is moist but not too wet or 2 dry so the roots will from real good. if you do that and have good venting your all set dude.:blsmoke:
