Im 19 and home for the summer from college so I decided to start a grow. Nothing big, just a try and practice for after college. I have 4 seedlings that need to be ready before college. I am growing them in my closet with a florescent desk lamp and 2 normal lamps. A few questions to determined if I should even bother or put them secluded in the small swamp to fend against the elements. With 4 seedlings, how much more light is going to be needed for them (I'm going low budget and cant really afford to install anything). I have a hard water conditioner that has some sulfur in it. I've been filtering the water through britas before giving it to the plants. The first time I tried growing, only 1 out of 7 seeds germinated and died shortly after becoming a seedling (overwatering i suspect). How much water does the average seedling need if in just a plastic cup with needle holes all over the bottom as drainage. Also I have been looking at the Sea of Green and since my closet is about 2' by 4', I think this is best for me (as I need to have my four plants out of soil by the end of August.
Is there enough time to actually have the plants produce anything?
Do I need to use drinking water over the tap I have?
Are 1 gallon jugs of water with the tops cut off big enough?
How much more lighting should I use?
I can keep the plants at the right temperatures and can hopefully mask the smell (I dont quite know how strong four plants douring flowering smell however). Has anyone ever attempted a grow this fast or is it undoable?
