ok so i right now i have 4 23w cfl's and one of those 24" fluorescent grow lights from wal-mart. i just planted the seeds a day and a half ago after they germinated, 6 plants total in gallon clay containers. 2 of the cfl's are in 8 1/2" reflectors hanging 6" directly above the pots and the other 2 are in 5 1/2" reflectors are level with the pots in the front facing slightly up. and then the grow light is on the back wall about 8" up. i've got one of those small but powerful O2 Cool fans in there for some circulation.

so can yall vets tell me if this sounds ok or do i need to change anything, more lights etc...cuz i dont see any plants yet, how long will this take? also will this set up be ok for flowering also??

any advice at all would be greatly appreciated, like watering, when to add nutrients and so on. i mean i've read a lot of threads and tried to do my research but you cant beat direct advice

oh and the seeds are bagseed from some real good "dank" around here that i liked, and the room is 3x2x6 if that helps

thanks everyone bongsmilie

What nutes u going to use.
THe tube isn't worth it, I wouls stay with the lights ands switch up to more lights. My last flower(7 plants) I used 15 bulbs (12 red 26 watt, 3 blue 2-42, 1 26 watt ) and my flower was awesome. For veg I would use 8 to 10 lights. The old addig is 50 watts per plant...

well i ended up having to replant different seeds cuz i planted those to deep, way to deep (rookie mistake). then i changed my lights around, i did take the tube out and i went and bought 2 42w cfl's and have 5 23w, and then i had to rearrange them a bit. they've been in the ground 3 days now and the 2 main fan leaves are about 1 1/2 across on 4 and one is just showing up.

im going to try and get some pics soon so its easier to see what im talking about but just bear with me

as far as nutes, what do u suggest? i really have no clue. growing anything else ive always used a 20-10-10 mix, would that work?
