Ok, so i have 6 seedlings i got from a batch of reggie miller, there in FF OF in 10 inch deep pots, in my nice 3 ftx7 ft closet, which is slanted because its under the stair case.
They are under my pretty nice dryer vent wired up set up with Two 30-Watt CFL's 3500k (18/6 for now)
All pots fit evenly under the lights, which are about a 1 ft off the soil.
so my questions are?
-Will my pots sustain the whole plants life for how long i want em too?, or should i expect to transport which ever ladies i get to bigger buckets when the time comes?
-I will be getting all the right nutes, thermo, a fan and ph meter soon(grow big. tiger bloom, and liquid plant food) anything else?
- Good enough light for now?
I will post pics as i get more comfy with this site. lol
Thanks to all my fellow MJ Lovers who help with my progress here, i hope i yield a nice batch :D.

Thanks guys so cool, I am thinking of getting a 400 watt hps digital in the coming weeks to sustain all 6? enough?

Also,

This will be a 5hr outdoor/ 13 hr indoor grow for 4 plants, for the first few weeks (Possibly more) until i do get that light setup and as long as the ladies i have stay out of sight when i put em out side for that beaming hot sun and frsh air. so once sundown comes ill have em under that 400 wtt.
Any thoughts on all that brothas?

More light will be needed, if your worried about somebody getting a look at your plants I would suggest to keep them inside. Move the light as close as you can to cover your area, and order that 400W pronto.

well will that 400 wtt enough for 3-4 ladies? granted i get that many? im hoping for 2 females worse case scenario, if i get 4 ill be a happy smoka
should i am it up to a better light ? 600 wtt. or maybe even a 1000 wtt?

Plz regard that i have em a closet. so is ventilation or heating a problem with fans and regular openings and fresh air? i will get a fan in there soon

if temps are a prob i would just get the 400 watt. I'm not sure how long you plan on vegging but that should be enough for six plants. if needed get 150 watt for 70-80 dollars on ebay in addition to the 400 watt later, but don't get a 600 or anything that will be too hot for your space.

I'm still a noob but here are my thoughts.. (:

Why 3500k? Why not 6400k? they love the blue light (:

and i believe 10" isnt enough for the life of the plant, 5 gallon bucks or pots would be best
And maybe a 600 watt for 6 plants would be good. with some CFL's near the bottom.

but remember HID lights put out lots of heat.. I have a 400 watt and I had some issues cooling it.
and if your in a closest I would keep that in mind

but thats mmy 2 cents :P

update for any1 who cares, i have destroyed my stunted seedling's, they definetly werent normal. i re-evaluated my germination strategy and got the dirt nice and loose, filled up, made a half inch hole with a pen, and dropped the seeds in there respective pits, re-covered, and patted down the soil nice and soft. threw a little gulp full amount of water in the area, and that's it. I'm gonna 24/0 flo this time. and since im off this weekend, they will have the whole days worth of sunlight outside today and 2morow hopefully getting a better result.
as for any1 readers, The strain is a very descent batch of Reggie i had, 20 grams gave me about 30 seeds. was a light green nice smoke, not shitty mexican brick. so an update will come with this set.
good day.
stay high
