I'll go take the pic, one is above the dirt.
It's kinda hard to see with my cellphone camera, but here it is. It's a start.
I have four more that are sprouting also but, they are too small to take a pic of. They should be ready to show tomorrow night. One question though, this miracle-grow wasn't a good idea was it? It says "continuous release nutes" on it. Is this ok?
Yes ten 42 watt (6500K) bulbs for veg and ten 42 watt (2700K) bulbs should be good enough to provide light for four or five plants. You may want to consider a couple CFL's near the bottom of the plants to give light to the lower branches. I have two 42 watt (2700K) bulbs and four 26 watt (2700K) bulbs on top. And I also have a 26 watt (2700K) bulb and a 70 watt HPS near the middle of the plants and they are getting huge. Just some food for thought.So if I have one vanity that has five sockets, then I put y-splitters on all of them to have 10 total bulbs, would that be good for 3-5 plants veg and flower? And when I flower would I keep the same light configuration but just change the bulbs to 42w 2700k warm bulbs? Or do I add those bulbs on top of the 6700k's?
Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to go with the 42's. I was also debating adding an hps during flower too. Where did you get a 70w with ballast? And how much?Yes ten 42 watt (6500K) bulbs for veg and ten 42 watt (2700K) bulbs should be good enough to provide light for four or five plants.

You can get the 70 watt HPS from home depot for around 60$. I took the bulb out of the housing and made the ballast be outside of my box. If you get the HPS get a grounded plug to make the ballast be able to plug in. Also try and get an HPS without a light sensor to make it go on when it gets dark.Thanks for the input.

Thanks a lot man I really appreciate this vital info lol.You can just hit the bottom of the pot and once the sprout comes out in one clump of dirt with roots all around the bottom you should move it into bigger pots. If the plant is stretched bury it up to a little below the first set of leaves.
