Hello

First time grower here, came across this when I was just looking for all the information I could possibly get on growing. I found lots of good information here and look forward to my first crop.

Welcome to the forum. Share your plan if you like. If you have already started, we like pictures. Got any pictures. A picture is like a thousand words. And I am not an educated rectum. Did I mention we like pictures. VV

Ok well 1 time about 3 years ago I thought what the hell I'll grow a plant. Germinated some seeds, planted them "now take in mind I had no clue AT ALL what I was doing" put it under a 12" desk fluorescent lamp about 1 1/2 months later it was about 16" tall. Threw it out cause of girl friend drama. So about a week ago I thought I would do it seriously so with out research I went and bought 2 4' 2 tube fluorescent fixtures and 3 compact fluorscent lights. Then I set up the room the way I thought it should to be set up. Then I get on the net and realize I have to start the room all over. The closet im working in is about 6x6 8ft tall. Only looking to grow 5 plants, Ive got some decent herb seeds germinating with W/W seeds ordered but they will be my second crop. I will be geting a T5 lighting around xmas was wondering if T5 4'6 will do as well as the 8 because the room is small. Will I even be able to get a decent crop this first time with my current lighting situation? Reguardless these swag seeds are going in the ground tommorow will try to get pics then to. Any feedback is appreciated thx.

seems ok to vegg, but for better results get a hps 400. start a grow j. i just have, its a good way to log everything down and if your doing anything wrong, someone will try to help. if they can.
good luck.

Ya I was really looking at hps but Im not electricly inclinded so constructing my own is not an option. Plus the heat factor with hps im not looking forward to I was really hopeing a T5 4' 6, or T5 4'8 will work as well. But thx for the info.

Im really just hopeing to veg these for a about 7-8 weeks until I can get a better light .
