i randomly planted two seeds, one was killed at 10 days when my sketchy light rig fell on it and burned it up so i right away started germinating four more (i was pretty frustrated about being knocked back to one plant) the four seedlings are between 3-5 days and the big one is at 2 and 1/2 weeks. oh yeah and right now i'm using a 250 watt 10000 lumen cfl (it's called the tek two) both bulbs at 6400k, but i have two 3000k bloom bulbs as well. if i have any dark spots later on i have some daylight spectrum normal lightbulb cfls i can put in as supplemental light when i need it. as for the other stuff i'm using some organic potting soil, and i am going to be using advanced nutrients iguana juice (grow and bloom) and ill be picking up other things as i need them ill have some pictures up later today
