Hi , first time to the site and a new grower. I am doing my own research as I grow this maidenvoyage first batch and I would like to know what peoples personal prefrence on a good,(doesn't need to be terribly expensive)and effective light solution. I was only planning on maybe 2 crops a year I currently have 10 seedlings doing well. I would like to keep costs low initially and slowly add to my setup. So will fluroicence work in the mean time and untill I can upgrade. The 10 plants are in a 3X2X4 box with 2 24" gro lights fluro. and 2 75 watt natural light incandesent lights.
Thanks in advance on the advice I hope to receive.

Welcome Bob. Are you related to Joetheplumber? If you are just trying to get small crops a couple of times a year and if you replace the incandescents with some cfl's you will get some yield. The incandescents produce more heat than light. Keep in mind that you will have some males in those ten plants, usually about 1/2. The way to avoid that is to clone the females you grow.
Sounds like you friends suck too. I have never heard of this, taking all of the carbon out of buds......hmmm.
These are not related events. I always tear apart any plant that dies, take a look at what was happening underground, and try to learn from that. It sounds more like a watering problem. Start a journal and provide details of your grow, we will help you.
Welcome, now a journal?
soo.. are you the towlie that got banned? welcome anyway.
The problem isn't the 600 watt light as much as the soil grow, you need three gallon or larger containers for that, this limits how close together you can place them, some folks won't even call it a sog, they may accept 'sog style but with soil' to describe it. Check out Alx journal and see why he says this. 15 plants in three gallon pots would need a 3' by 5' footprint if you use a 'sog style' and trim the bottom 1/3 off your plants, with the height you have, you should be ok with that imo.
Just trying to catch up, so many new folks checking in, welcome all of you.

safe guys im new and im from the uk (london) and ive already set up a thread. got 18 views but no replies! its just a thread asking for any tips on growing ur first plant indoors. i have 8 plants growing. i planted 4 in the same fairly reasonable size pot last saturday, the 11th of oct, and the other 4 are in a diff pot which i planted about 3 days ago. they have come thru and r about 2-3 inches tall now. they r nice and green, and looking healthy. ive already taken up the tip to water it about every 3 days, which im doing. im not a serious grower with all the gear and the temperature and nutrients and what not, just basic skunk plants planted in good garden soil with a lamp. the question i wanna know the answer to most is when should i put them all in seperate pots? remember, they have been growing for 1 week. safe =D

Hey rozzman, welcome to the forum. Yesterday would have been a good day to seperate them. Today would be the next best thing. The roots will get tangled vey quickly. VV
