Hello All, I'm about to attempt my first indoor garden. In years past have had grown outdoor and had Mother Nature to help me out. As I've now moved to an apartment, I no longer have that ability. So that leaves me to do my best to maximize yield in a small area.

My Situation

- I have VERY limited space, about 36"x36"x54"(h)
- I only have bagseed available, shwaggy at that.... (unless I can find a seed bank that will mail to the States)
- I'm not a rich man, so funds are limited

My Need

- I need some advice from some friendly indoor horticulturists to assist me in establishing a system to fit my need. Ideally I would like to be able to harvest enough smoke to provide myself with about 1.5 oz of bud to smoke per month.

ANY HELP APPRECIATED GREATLY!!!!

So today I have started my garden. I have planted 12 seeds to start with. The seeds are schwaggy, but it's the best I can do for the moment. I used the floater method to check the seeds and selected the best from that group. For my germination and seedlings I am using fluorescents at the moment. (24") I planted using standard potting soil with my seeds pointy end up in 6 oz paper cups with ample drainage. Once I have nice seedlings I obviously will have to transplant into a larger container. What size should I use? I'm also confused about lights... What kind of wattage will I need to bring 2 plants to harvest? I've also known that people have regenerated smaller plants forcing them to bud, trimming, then vegging before forcing additional flowering. How does that work?
