Hey everyone, I am totally new to indoor growing, and after some research, this site has the most knowledgeable forum contributions IMO so here I am.

Anyways, I have always entertained the idea of growing my own bud, but until 3 days ago I have not attempted it. I received a plant as a gift from a close friend and I gladly accepted.

I currently have it in my closet inside a cardboard box lined with foil. It was in a much smaller pot when I first got it, but we transferred it to a larger one with some soil I was provided with from the original owner. I went to a nearby indoor gardening store, and one of the employees gladly helped me get some things for my 'tomato plant.' I got a new bulb (pictured) for the lamp I was using, some Ph tester and balancers, and the plant food. I have been watering it once a day, and I was told to give it food every third day. I have been leaving the light on for 18 hours, I'm thinking I should go to 12 on 12 off at the end of the week.

I also bought an LED light off of ebay for 40 bucks, so that should be arriving in the next few days. I'm currently a pretty broke college student, so I can't go drop 200 on a light very easily. I was also thinking of throwing like a desk fan on the floor next to the box in the closet, as I have seen several people with that setup.

It's only one plant, I don't expect on me getting a huge yield from it or anything, I'm more looking forward to raising this baby for some fun experimenting.

Here's a few pictures of the setup too, any advice or pointers for me would be greatly appreciated! :jointsmile:
