Hi there. Be gentle guys. We all have to start somewhere. Check out this thread. Vancouver Seed Bank :: Cannabis Cultivation, Indoors & Outdoors :: New to growing inside, now VERY confused!!!

You can start your baby with one light but it should be a CFL daylight "Compact FLoresents ( you know the cute twistys) They have electonic ballasts (more energy efficient) and are far brighter up close. I keep them an inch away from the tops of the plants. I have a light meter, at that distance they are as bright as the MH is at 12-14 inches away. They must be 6500 K TRUE cool white also called daylight. GE & Philips" frmboi. (thanks bro)

I am a newbee too, so I know it is not easy to get all the info you need. If you can afford the one light bulb your baby should have a chance. And just ignore the ones that are not helpful. I am sure they do not mean to discourage you.
