New to growing, need help

  1. I have a grow light set up which Im hoping will allow me to grow 1 tomato plant(first time gardener) but I was just wondering what cfl lightbulb should I get? How many hours a day do I have it on? What tomato plant will fit into a 12 inch space? What are some links to good websites?
    Thanks James
     
  2. Tomatos? lmao
     
  3. Errr this is the gardening thread
     
  4. Oops didn't see that. lol But I know weed and tomatos grow pretty similarly. i would do 18/6 until you fruit. And if you want big tomatos trim.

    No problem and thanks for the info. Yeah I'm just practising with tomatoes until I get my own place
     
  6. 3 23 watt cfl is plenty enought for a 12 inch tomato plant and if you grow it out sideways you will end up with more of a plant.
     
  7. look at matts experimental SCRog in the gardening section, he grew a tomato indoors under a light, may help you get a better idea what you want to do
