Yeah that was my first grow too. I was lucky and did a lot of research. My luck was getting dinafem seeds there seeds are good. I used a 400 watt mh/hps . With general organics go box nutrients. I've had nothing with problems every grow after the third one and I'M using all the same stuff. I'M trying to figure out what I'M doing different to find out What's going wrong. With your grows using cfl's you have to have them lights right up on the plants and you need a lot of them to be worth using. Good luck on your new grow stay in touch so you can keep me updated on the grow... Happy growing..
