Simple questions,

Well. For starts is pot able to grow in normal rockless dirt and water.

Would a normal light bulb work for lighting? Or would those swirly
power saveing light bulbs work?

What's the best way to germinate a seed?

..
Yep,

Why do i feel stupid disrespected and joyed by that response?
Anyways sorry i didn't find a section named that.
I'll do some more searching and pay more attention.

I'll answer your questions... 1) Yes. 2) No. 3) Place in soil, add water, wait.

Welcome to RUI. Read the forum stickies. Troll around. Learn who know's what and who doesn't. Buy a few books, some on cannabis, some on general gardening. Anything marketed at the cannabis grower is BS. The sooner you accept that, the better off your wallet will be. When in doubt trust in old ladies who grow roses and tulips or the farmer that grows monster watermelons and pumpkins.

My favorite book on gardening is Square Foot Gardening. It's not about cannabis, but it will sure teach you the basics of growing just about anything.

Ahh, Thank's for the warm hearted welcome.
