well im using a closet that i have lined with tin foil to reflect the light and using about 100 watts of flouresent lights and a small 3/4 gallon clear pot that i plan on switch for something larger and plastic and not clear. I'm worry about air flow because my fan is to loud and i dont have an extension cord which i plan on fixxing as soon as i can but i run 20 hours light and 4 hours dark im also using dirt with out fertilizer in it so you can see i have a limit of about $40 every 2 weeks so its a tight budget and im considering outdoor growing but i dont think i will have time to grow a succesfull outdoor plant in 2months and also can i use regually tap water with nothing specail in it or do i have to put something in it. I'm not really concerned about potency because i used seeds that came from mid's but i want as much as possible of at least some and how long should i wait for it to come out of the ground. any hints,suggestions,insults welcome but i need help

First off....Get rid of the tin foil, itll create burn spots in your canopy, normalyl id suggest mylar but with you budget just stick with flat white paint. I dont understand your fan problem, but if you dont have one get one. A fan, even a small fan will help strengthen stems and keep temps in check, as well as give your lady some fresh air. Also how old is you plant. No ferts are need for the first 3-4weeks from seedling. After that 1/4-1/2 strength nutes and you can build up from there depending on the strain ect... If nothing else you can pick up some fish emulsion or some other decent ferts from walmart for cheap and then save for some good bloom ferts. Another thing, you may consider vegging indoor and flowering outdoor, but that depends entirely on your situation. No dont use tap water, it contains all kinds of stuff that can be harmful to you plants. Instead pick up some distilled water from walmart, like 1.50 for 3 gallons and use that. If you do use DI water you will need to puts some of the trace elements like calcium and magnesium back in. You can do this with calmag plus, or if you are really low on cash try using some epson salt. I think the ratio is like 1 tbs per gallon or something like that I cant remember. I think I hit most of it, just post any questions and we will try to help the best we can, the more info you can give us the better chance we have to help you. -Diz:rasta:
