yeah the thread may suck , but you just can't help it to come back and read. lol
anyways. as long as you have a large enough pot for all the roots to expand then you will be ok. make sure that there is drainage. the lights should be daylight, if you look at the cfl,s there is a number followed by an "s" or a "D" the s = soft white which are good for flowering and the d= daylight which is good for veg. sorry if this has already been answered but oh well. also, if you find any males then just cut them off at the dirt and don't worry about trying to take it out and untangle all the roots, big headache. lol this is your first grow and it is an experiment and a learning experience as well. at least one of those babies will live if not more so don't sweat it. the roots will intertwine a lot and get all knotted up. i don't think that they will go together to make one root. all though there are certain plant species that do do that but this is not one of them. you will know when to water when you stick your finger in the soil about 2 inches and if its dry then water if its wet then don't. i hope this helps.
