I just made my first grow using nothing but long FL tubes and nothing but random seeds out of bags of mine. I used organic soil and organic ferts that others have used on CG with good results. I ended up with 2 females that I was forced into flowering a little early. One plant gave decent buds but they were pretty small the other plant gave pretty big buds with a pretty weak high. I want to get a little more serious but I want to stay small I think the best thing for me to do is upgrade in lighting for flowering stages or all stages. HPS MH this is all french to me. Can someone recommend a VERY small quality lamp to house 1 - 4 plants at a time indoors? Thanks!
You may want to look at a 250 or 400 watt setup from www.htgsupply.com. http://www.htgsupply.com/growlights.asp?categoryID=1&subcategoryID=155&typeID=56 and http://www.htgsupply.com/growlights.asp?categoryID=1&subcategoryID=155&typeID=55 would be a couple of good place to start.
