Headed to my local shop today and picked up a few things to get somewhat of a more proper grow going. This is just temorary until they get big enough to be transplanted in regular full size pots and by then ill have a nice grow tent and 400w hps self vented lighting setup etc.

Although the light I have sucks and is from WalMart it will get the job done until transplant. I am including a before and after picture of my setup. It was cheap and will work to at least get them sprouting. I am ordering a nice grow tent big enough for 2 plants which will be plenty enough for what im gonna need it for.

Now all I have to do is order some good seeds. Any recommendations on that? Also what do you think of the setup?

In my opinion, the setup lacks sufficient lumens to even start vegging a plant under. To me, that looks like a single 4 ft. fluoro.

You would be much better, in my opinion, buying a smaller but more powerful lighting unit such as a 4-bulb T5 (2 ft. long). This will provide you with 10,000-15,000 lumens, and a more even distribution of light.

Also, that is a very very small space. I'm sure you plan on fixing that, though.

Yeah it is definitely small and temporary and also the light is temporary. I am only using that set up until they sprout. As stated above im ordering a 400w hps light.
