wanna start in a few days.

Really would love some input on some good brand name potting soils to start my plants after germination is done.Also,do I use the same soil after I transport them to a larger pot for flowering?Please,keep in mind I'm working with limited space.Was thinking of using 400w mh lights once the plants sprouted,then 600w hps lights for flowering.

Fox Farm Soil and yes use it throughout the grow.

thanks man.novice indeed,but a very fast learner.Will fish tank light fixtures work?what do you recommend to start(preferablly cheap just to start)

Q. What kind of lights should I use?
Cheap 4 ft. cool white fluorescent tubes : for germination/seedlings
400 watt Metal halide/HPS : for personal home growers
1000 watt Metal halide/HPS : for some personal growers and commercial growers.
*Use at least 40 watts per sq. foot of grow space.

thanks,dude.will let you know when I get started.possibly fri.

germinated six bag weed seeds.five had roots by the third day(01-11-06)went w/miracle grow soil.(first time)found some fox farm nutes though.got seeds in 16 0z plastic cups w/two 42watts cfl's(18 inches away,3200 lumens).dimensions 2ft wide 3.5 feet tall.gonna get two more lights next wk.gonna run 18/6 for four wks.then 12/12 for around 5wks.hope i get a least two ladies.WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
