OK.. so this is gonna be my first post of many and im really thriven for some knowledge and tips on if im doing alright.
RIGHT NOW i have just passed the germinating stage and i have planted the seed in (my own mix) of soil about a half inch under soil and water'd throughly. I am using a small wattage (60 watts) and a 1 gallon plant container. I covered the top of the container with plastic and have the lamp about 8 inches from the top. In doing this i am creating my own humidity and warmth in the container...DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A HIT-OR-MISS? ANY TIPS,HELP,IDES,SUGGESTIONS, MUCH APPRECIATED!THANX AND GOOD LUCK FELLOW GROWERS.

i'm a wicked noob too, but i read somewhere that 400 watt is minimum. not sure if i'm right or not but id think 60 watt would be wayyyy too small of a wattage to grow a plant.

This sounds fine to me. I just let them come up in a warm dark space. As soon as they come up i put them under floursecents. You can germinate on a window sill if you want.

Well I don't really know too much bout soil. I run ebb n flow buckets. I also never grown from seed - always use clones. But if you got a question aside from soil and seeds let me know. :leaf:

PS CFL's can yield enough for end users just not for the commercial. If you do it right you can pull 4 zips off a 120 watts of CFL. If you're curious bout that look into Riddleme's thread it's good. I never flowered with CFL's either. But I know what you need to ya know... :peace:

ok, a couple of things to think about:

you will need a lot more light in a week or two (more now wouldn't hurt) - lots of info on this site about how much and what kind of light.

unless you have a feminized seed you should think about starting a second plant to increase your chance of getting a female. you could waste two months with one seed and find out you have a worthless male.

the plastic is a good idea but make sure some air gets to the plant.
