Advice Plz

if im only growing one plant will a normal 60 watt all purpose bulb work?

and if i had a seed that has an unknown strain (nothing good)..how could i produce a very potent strain?

1. No. (as far as I know, if you can do it, great. I never have, and would not try it, it might be a waste of a good seed :() All plants usually die under normal houselights. Cannabis is no exception.

2. Simple. Get the seeds of the desired strain.

Seriously though, you cannot produce potency from bad genetics. What you are asking is basically "How can I get a Ferrari out of my pickup?" You CAN, however, get the best out of what that seed has to offer. You just gotta hope to God that that seed becomes a female. Then, have probably a 200 watt flourescent (second-lowest I've ever seen to grow, and that was to sprout clones) for problably just veg, then you might want to get a 400 watt HID for flowering. Of course, I understand if you don't want to buy all these high-wattage lamps, after all, they can blow a fuse in your house, or even blow up. You might want to find a nice, sunny spot outside to grow, and wait 'til spring to lay that seed in the dirt = )

(or, you could save up for a good light.)

im not gonna argue about the light situation that question was a what if.. but you can rebuild a pickup into a ferrari..i was looking to say how can i modify the plant to its best potential

No, a normal incandescant light bulb will not work.

If it is an unknown strain, you might be surprised at what you get out of it. Just because the weed it came from wasn't the best in the world doesn't mean that the plant didn't have pontential and just wasn't grown and processed correctly

more advice

well, if it were me, I'd get a couple CFL's. Thats a good place to start. And start reading everything you can here. There is tons of information that you will be needing to know.

i know this is dumb but
if i am growing (one plant) in a 2ft x 3ft cabinet
will a 60 watt bulb work?
the inside of the cabinet is covered in reflective material as well

i dont know much about the bulb but it says 60 watt full light spectrem bulb

Find a picture of what the light looks like and post the link. Then peeps can better help you also try reading the CFL Light disscussion Thread at the top of the INdoor growing section. It will help you learn a few things about lighting.

Good luck
