I've started to grow about 3 weeks ago when i placed about 10 seeds in a bamboo vase filled with rocks and water. the seeds sprouted and became about 5-6inches high right out of the vase. i transplanted them to a pot of soil and have been watering them(3) about 1-2 times a day and they've only had sunlight as their source starting at 8am-330pm then i put them in my room and ive heard they need their 12 hours or so of darkness.(not sure if thats correct). but im seeing them to become a bit stronger in the stem and the leaves are growing but slowly.

my question is: for 3 little ladies, what sorta light source should i give them and if so, what type of fixture should the bulb be in. and any reccomendations on potting, watering, and or nutrients that may help them grow faster or stronger.

thanks if anyone gives some advice. later

i cant help u much as i dunno wat u can get in the US, but...

Lights givin off 2000 - 6000 lumens are brill

under and overwatering is easy, it wil be different for each strain and plant im affraid ull have to work that one out.

I forget what nutes, look round theres lots of detailed threads on that one..

If ur veging u want atleast 18 hours of light, 24 is betta.
12/12 for flowering
If u dont know what light u want get one wiv a blue or daylight spectrum for veg, If low on money get a daylight and use it for flower aswell.

Gd luck
