ok guys so my plants finally sprouted, they are 2 n a half days old. i went to wal mart tonight. i bought some clay pots. 6 inch i think or 8 inch. anyways i bought some miracle grow potting soil with moisture control. i got a box of bone meal and two 26 watt daytime cfl's. so im gonna transplant my seedlings tonight and water em. anyone know when i can give em a little bit of bone meal?i will post pics either a lil later or tomorrow morning. any advice?
two or three weeks from now...

yah the miracle grow potting soil feeds the plants for up to 3 months it says? should i not use any ferts at all? will it burn the roots if i put some bone meal in there in a few weeks? also where can i get the 40 watt cfl's?
HI Bluntman..
you should not add anythig to MG soil (no nutrients, no bone meakl, no nothing!),.. It has plenty of crap in it already.. You should also pH your water higher than normal... 7.0-8.0
pH Water - See More Buds
The MG you bought has a pH of 5.0 (I am 99% sure)
You will want to get the 42 watt CfLs from wal mart or home depot.. they cost about 8-10 dollars....
I look forward to many pictures!!!
cheers

garden, thank you very much for ur advise. i saw a 150w mercury vapor lamp at the hardware store for $27. should i get it? or get a 70w hps? but its more expensive. and also yes i will get the 42 watt cfl's in a few days. i was looking for a ph tester at wal mart but they didnt have any in the garden section. thanks for ur advice guys! ill post pics tomorrow evening.
o yah i also forgot to add that the only lights i have right now are two 26w daylight cfl's and a 13w cfl. so yah i will need more lighting here soon. im only growin 2 plants tho. i think the lights i have now will be alright for another few days.
hey guys. plants are 3 n a half days old now. looking good. i got four 23 watt cfl's in there now. imma make a reflector outta a pie tin lol. ill post pics in bout an hour. srh- one love
