thanks for the help

now the days are about 15 hours long and 12/12 would be around September. as for the temperature the record lows are in the 50s but the lows so far have been in the 60s. I couldn't find such an extended forecast but the average lows are in the 60s.

So I Need to put lights on the plants right now?
for how long?
I only have one light and i have 6 plants.
Ive heard you just leave em alone until they sprout then transplant them into a bigger cup.
After that you put outside for a few hours a day until they get stable then after that you can transplant them outside.

u could try, but once it get below 55, plant growth will slow or stop, & if u started now it might make it, but id start w/ bag seed to test

u need either compact fluorescent lamp (cfl) or fluorescent tubes.
the rule of thumb is 50-100w per plant or a minimum of 3500-5000 lumens per plant.
like these

& youll want at least 1-2 bulbs per plant, & each bulb needs to be 27-42 actual watts. read the package carefully, & youl want the color temp of bulb to be 6500k-5000k

There is a 3 hour rest bonus we took in Des Moines, IA but only about 45 minutes of it was actually sleep....the rest was route mapping & eating. But we do love a good ride so be careful of what you offer my friend!!

I'm looking into bubble bags.....you guys ever tried 'em?

They look pretty sweet but I'm wondering if it's really worth it to get the 8 bag system instead of the 4 bag for personal use?
