Ok, these bulbs are T-12s. The big ones maybe 1.5" in diameter. I guess this will hold me over until I build the box. The seeds haven't germinated in 5 days because I put too many holes in my dixie cups to drain water out, so I replanted them. Now the soil is staying moist w/o constant watering. All the seeds were splitting, which is a good sign. And if they don't work, I have a bag full of more seeds to try again. Buys me more time. Done this before outdoors - was female but didn't flower, only got 5-6 hrs of light but it yielded an 8th of leaves that actually worked pretty well.

So anyway, how many square feet should I have per plant? Was thinking of going LST, and don't want to get too large of a box. I'm reading about lumens per square foot and don't want to go crazy on the space and lights (and heat) if I can help it.
