Lightbulb white picket fences and hot tea...

Ave.

Thanks for the replies, I just now re-established connection to the internet.... 60 bucks a month for cable is rediculous, perhaps it will be put towards me baby plants aye.

Yes, I have holes in the can, What I did, was take the plastic lid off of the top, put holes evenly through out where the water would collect, cut the metal bottom out of the can and popped the hole filled plastic top on the bottom to hold the soil till I transplant... I suppose i will just fill a 5 gal. bucket 3/4 full with regular potting soil? (suggestions are appreciated) remove the bottom off the cans and just set it in to let it grow into the new stuff,.. I am not sure how long i have till I have to transplant, but my little novelty plant sure looks pretty and I noticed that I have another set of leaves popping through the center Ill include a picture either with this post or the next, you can watch the progress with me, its the best one outta the bunch, its growing thick stemed too (hope "its" a she), ive just had a small circle fan on them for about 4-5 hours a day, they get lots of excersize.... I just switched to a 18/6 hour light sched. two nights ago....no timer yet, havent had time so Im shutting it off at 12am and on again at 6. just yesterday I was givin 4 brand new (2 - 4 footers and 2 - 18") fluorescent fixtures (single light strips) all with cool white bulbs, i wasnt going to complain...hell they were free, and good for starting new plants??? I dont know, any information sources for in depth light explinations are welcome...lol. once I gain a little more experience with this, I have a perfect room for a more large scale garden but Im not jumping ahead of myself here, just want my plants to survive, hope youll help me out.... thanks again.

Ave atque vale.
