Hey there, I hope I can reap a little wisdom from some experienced indoor growers...

I'm growing my first crop in a couple small planters...just a basic schwag, I'm not sure if I'll even separate the genders. Anyway, I just have a couple questions...

1) How long should I expect to wait until I see the first pairs of leaves pop up from the seedlings in the soil?

2) I'm using a couple hot incandescents right now for the vegetative stage...on 24 hours. Is that ok for the first week or so until I get fluorescents?

3) What kind of fluorescent light would you recommend? I hear HPS lights help grow larger buds, but are antithetic to early plant growth. Should I use MH for the vegetative state and then HPS for the flowering stage?

4) Is fertilizer absolutely necessary? I'm using your basic Scotts potting soil...

Thanks in advance and happy toking...
