First Time Growing

I'm waiting about 7 hours to get the CFL's what should I do at the moment? I have them in a 2x3 inch pot with 160 watt incandescent bulbs. Should I put the three seeds back in the bag with water until I get the CFL's or what? I'm not sure. I've never grew before but I got the idea I been looking around at peoples grows.

You could try vegging for 30 days under 18/6 which is probably the most popular lighting schedule
Yeah I was thinking 30 days for 24/0 but if ypou suggest 18/6 I'll try that out. Water every week one time correct? How much water by the way? I was thinking like 4 - 5 sprays.

If you pre-soak you pot with soil in it you should be fine for a while till your next watering. Try not to spray the little ones it can burn them, droplets of water will be like magnifying glass and can burn your little leaves.

Are your little ones are above the ground already? if not, you be fine with out a light till they pop, but you should keep them relatively warm.

Yeah it's 160 watt incandescent light bulbs. But it's not dank since this is my first time growing I'm trying to experiment a bit. See what grows good and what doesn't. And no I started today I planted the seedlings in the 2x3 pot about 2 hours ago. I will 18/6 for 30 days then 12/12 for about 2 weeks. How big do you think the plants will grow. I am going to add some reflectors in the closet soon. The closet is 5.5 x 4 ft. I need to know the best lighting for the size of that closet :D

Oryt fella, as bakatare said, weigh a dry pot and wet pot and see the difference, as far as lights go, I'm a newbie meself but done atleast some revision before even attempting to grow weed, but I'm in a 4ft tall 4ft wide 2ft deep space with 230 actual watts running 7x30w and 1x20w, all cfl... I know this is adequate for veg, but I have another 6 20w to go in there when flowering, I also keep my window open a touch, with a normal desk fan inside my grow room, with a slight gap in the door, my temps run at 28-29 most of the time, I water every second lights on, but I'm on a 20/4 schedule, I also give a light spray every lights on and off.. keep your water inside your grow space so you dont shock the plants with cold water, a warm bowl of water in the room can also help with humidity if your having problems, what soil are you planning on using? You dont need tofeed your plants yet either, water will do for now, also you said you plan on going 12/12 for 2 weeks only, your baby will be nowhere near ready then, she will tell you when shes good and ready, I wish you the best of luck but to be blunt, cos I'm like that, I think you will fail misserably, and put your plants through hell till they finaly give in, I'm only saying what everyone else is thinking, peace fella.

Dam, you sound EXACTLY like I did, cracking the door for temp control, etc.
Just a few more watts, thats all
