P.S. just been reading around and found out that tin foil is a bad idea i shall have to get some white paint or something... any ideas on this?
put soil up to the lower leaves. don't go any higher then the lowest leaves use twist ties to tie your plant up with. get the light 1-2 inches away from your plants. so they don't strech.you should read through the grow faqs. tons of info in there.anybody know if it would work or be a good/bad idea to cover up the stem with some soil so that it isnt so tall...
Please help people i dont want to kill my plants when theyre like 5/6days old...

yeah parents equal PAIN IN ASS! but im a sneaky mutha fuck and im doing it anyway .. so hopefully i can do this.. 5-10 plant goal .. here i gosaying get a 400w HPS is all very well, but we know nothing of his situation - does it need to be stealth? is ventilation going to be difficult, budget, how many plants does he want to grow etc?
before anyone can recommend anything we need to know:
1. How much are you willing to spend on the entire grow?
2. What do you plan on growing in and how big is it? i.e a grow tent, closet, cupboard etc.
3. Is stealth required - i.e. does the whole thing need to be hidden and virtually silent?
4. Can you easily ventilate the room with fresh air and exhaust hot air?
Oh and if you live with your parents DON'T GROW.
