Second attempt at growing!

Hey guys, this is now my second attempt at rasing some homegrown!

I've got the plant in a little cubbyhole, with a bodged CFL hanger with a single CFL bulb (like the ones you use in your house)

I bought the seeds from an online store (although I can't remember which one :roll:) I decided to buy a set of 60 Feminized seeds, 20 of 3 different strains for £35.

It's been a few weeks, and she's about 4 inches tall, and i can see the little ganja leaves coming through! How heartwarming.

I've got the light set up on a timer, so they turn on at 8am, and turn off a 9pm.

So far I'm just in the early stages. I've only got one plant growing at the moment, but I want at least 5! the issue is space, and lack of money..


She's only little so far, but in the future i'll need to think about fans to strengthen the stem (I heard you can use weights and attach them to the stem so it bends and strengthens?) I also need to think about moving the plant so it's got more room to grow, because as of now it's only got about 2 feet.

I read somewhere that stroking the plant will provide it with stimulation and help growth? Sounds a little funky, is it true?

I'll get some pictures up soon - Just wanted some advice on the do's and don'ts. also, how I could maybe get more plants going! I'm not sure if the seeds will be okay to grow outside? I live in the UK so I'd hate to leave it out in the pissing rain..

Cheers!

More light. As many CFL's as you can without heat becomming a problem, mix at a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio.

eg. Veg - 3 6500K and 1 2700K CFL.
Flower is the other way round, 3 2700K to 1 6500K.

Problem is that I've only got one hanger and no knowledge of how to wire another one up.. I've got a couple of those strip lamps, not sure of the name.. they are the kind they have in offcies and stuff, or in kitchens (but smaller obviously) I tried wiring those up but still had no luck..

Just curious, how did your first grow go ? Did you harvest ?
Basically, I still live with my mum as i'm only 18 - My first attempt was last summer, got to about a foot tall, and then the old hag found it and threw it outside and it died :(

dude i'll tell you the same thing every other user on here will, don't grow in your parents house. Not only is it incredibly disrespectful but there's no place you can hide it that they aren't going to find and toss out just like your last grow.

Well she's really not too bothered - And I've told her time and time again that if I'm growing I wont blow every penny I have on weed.

I'm really not too keen on growing outside, the weather here in the UK is awful.
