lookin good so far....u are goin to want bigger pots eventually ...even if u 12/12 from seed they can still grow.....that being said....it is possible to do what u are doing, just a lil more challenging

First off, I think that light is 75 watt equivalant, which would make it like 17 actual watts...Definately not enough for one plant. Get a few 6500K CFLs that are like 23 - 27 watts, the 100W equivalant ones...Use like a minimum of 4 per plant and you should get a nice little plant outta it!

ya....i thought he was sayin 75 actual...75 eq is no go....get a 65 (300eq) or some of the 26 (~100eq)....thatl hold u...for a little bit....
