yea but that should work well and should cost like $15 if you have an ext. cord handy
but better to instal a timer to..... you will need a timer when you flower

only cut the tips if your going to remove damaged parts or cut the whole leaf if its more than 2/3 dead.... theyre not that burnt so it doesnt matter to much

If you look at my journal, you will see my plants were messed up early on.....I'm thinking it was my MG soil. I wouldn't use any added nutes for another 2 weeks to be safe.....

ive found the best thing to start seeds in is a mix of peat, vermiculite, and perlite i go with a 50% peat, 40% vermiculite, and 10% perlite. it works like a charm no nutes til plants get there 2nd set of true leaves

um i do it when they get their second set of leaves. then i transplant the unuted soil into a hole of soil with more nutes like a a mix containing blood meal, bone meal, worm castings and bat guano
