but i think a window in a warm room would be better to start with than a regular bulb, until you get the right light. and i hear tin foil is not very use ful as it absorbs too much heat so unless you have access to "mylar" white paint would be good... K rating is what you need to understand when selecting the correct bulbs.

Tin foil is a crappy idea.. your plant is gonna get overheated from it, ESPECIALLY w/ an incandescent light bulb. You need to get a CFL... they're really not tough to get any store like target has them. You want a carbon scrubber for smell, get a fan to blow fresh air in and a fan to pull out air(exhaust fan), and you can put ur carbon scrubber in the exhaust, and smell shouldnt be a problem.

Also, did you germinate ur seeds before planting them? i hope you did, even though it may work w/out germination it's just easier when you do.

If you have an old lamp you can take apart. use the socket part and the wire with plug. If you have to cut wire to get out of lamp wire nut it. Very cheap. Those light have a built in ballast that your using.

What kinda soil are you using? Nutrients? You can use that CFL(flourescent light) and it'll grow just fine for vegging.

Look all over the forum it gives you all your needs on how to grow marijuana... especially in the "GrowFAQ"

:joint:I just got a thought:
If I put an incendescent light bulb and some tinfoil in my small grow area will that make it warmer? because its kind of cold where I am and I heard it should be prety warm to germinate seeds. I need to know if this helps :confused::confused:

Easiest way to germinate seeds from my experiences is to get a moist papertowl, put your seeds inside, about 1 - 2 inches apart. Put the moist papertowl in a tupperware container and put the lid on. Sit it on top your fridge for a couple days.

Hi Robert hows it going ??? hows the seeds /??? Do we have Take Off Yet ??
i think seeds are the essayist part of growing///// people have all kinds of different ways to germinate them// Me personally likes to put them in a jar of 5.5 ph down luke warm water for a day or two keeping an eye on them to split open//
Then i put them in small rockcubes personally, or were ever 1 likes them to grow from///
hoope this helps a little
Keep iT Up
