okay well i got about 4 seeds from some nugz succesfully germinated and ready for planting. I was just wondering "specifically" how long to give my babys light?

Also I am a cheep ass and was wondering if my 24 inch blacklight will do the job untill I can get something abit better?

thank you, The Brains :rasta:

Replace that blacklight bulb with a cool-white tube. Blacklight does nothing for plants. You can keep 'em lit 24/7, and get the light as close as possible, 2-3 inches is fine when using fluorescents. ALso look into maybe getting a couple of CFL (compact fluoros, the spiral ones that plug into any light socket), also in cool-white flavor.

Make shure you keep them warm! And, all plants love co2 so try to find a way to up the amount of carbon dioxide if you can. But some times that can be expensive
