ah thats very kind of you weedmale.... :)
But really the personal 'art' of it doesn't begin to play a role until about 3 weeks....
The basics are fundamental 2 + 2 = 4 everytime.
1. PRO MIX SOIL
2. 6.8 pH water
3. Lights
Thats it man. Its tuff to fuck that up :)
It's all 3 working in unison. The biggest factor though is lights.
You need true CFL's not the kind you buy in the stores. You need some 5500K - 6400K bulbs and several of them.
Keep a fan on them and let them be.
Thanks again for the kind words but I learned a lot of it here from Zandor and a little bit from everyone else.
Both successes and failures leave clues.
Everytime :)

Hard,
How much do those CFL's like you've got cost?
And can they be gotten locally? Home Depot I mean.?

The big ones are $60.00 each i think.
Only online is where I know to get them.
Certainly not HD or any other general store.

I found some today at a local farm and barn store but they had a mogul base. 65watts. $10! Said they were 4000 lumens. Didn't see the base for them but I believe these were made for specific light fixtures. I'll look next time I'm out there just for shits and giggles. Maybe the bases are cheap too!

I didn't buy that bulb. Read the description first and saw it needed a ballast. All I said was that I found one...but it needed a specific base/ballast.

I got the 65W 6400K one. The guy responds to emails and ships it like there's no tomorow. The light really made a difference. I do, however, want to try getting the ones with a ballast like Limpy over there and try to see a difference. Digital cameras are great for telling differences with lights. :D Goodluck.
Also I had paid like $40 for it after shipping so I dunno what kinda shipping I got, but it came pretty fucking fast.
