first time grow, bad conditions

[Gr33n]

Seed sprouted today! looks good. i'm excited about the next 2 months. my conditions for growing are not great at all. i'm starting this out of a solo cup and a 14 watt cfl. this is just more of an experimental grow than a serious one. just trying to see what it's like. get some experience under my belt. come summertime i'll have a better place to grow.

nice...that's a little better setup than i'm working with. haha. are you using any additives or growth stimulators? your girls look nice.

i'm not using any yet. i want to give them at least a few weeks before i start them on nutes. i'm using miracle grow soil, so they shouldn't need anything extra for now anyway.

ok cool. i think i'm just going all organic. see how that works

try and hit up walmart or something for 2x pack of 26w cfls. maybe 5-8$. will hep you a ton

got a 20w cfl for now. will be upgrading later. i made a little "grow room" (i use the term loosely as it's not that great) for the plant so now she has more room. also have a small fan circulating the air. better than what i started out with.
