Im new to growing and I just have a few q's...
im growing a plant in my closet. It is about 3x3.5ft wide and i got like 8 more ft til i hit the ceiling. I went to my local garden store and got some good soil that drains good. but i was wondering, what should I use for nutrients? like something basic. my friend told me to put a few orange peels in the soil. does that work? also I was wondering, does the plant like direct light or indirect light more? it is about 13 inches tall now and i have been going 12/12 for 6 days now. i will try to get some pics up but ill have to get ahold of a camera first. also im not sure what strain it is... =/
any advice any experienced growers could give me would be greatly appreciated. thx

As for nutes, no, just orange peel wont do good. You're in the flowering stage, hit her up with some high phosphurous bat guano or blood meal. Just remember to feed your plants only 1/4 of what the label on the fert reccomends.

Cheers :D

Also what light are you using?

When you say indoor plant light... is it an incandescent bulb? Or a flourescent?

Also, at the bottom of each of my stems(on the main stem) there are 4 little almost hair like things coming out....Im not sure if they are more stems sprouting or are they the pistils. Man I really wish I could get a camera >_<. If you have any idea, please respond.

Ok I now have 2 75w flourescent lights on it and I just added some Bone Meal. Im not sure if it stretched in the begining....because it seems very tall and kinda skinny. Should I tie it over? Could that possibly kill my plant or would it be better for it? Any ideas/advice/comments would be appreciated.....thanks
