I'm looking forward to your updates, and wish you the best with your grow. Growing is quite addictive and is loads of fun! I know you will have a blast.
Well thank you JakezKing, I hope you look forward to seeing more pictures and a few more updates. The cotton was used to refract light and also for filtration purposes with teh water, well water has some rust and believe it or not the cotton filters that out. No Nutes, Nothing but Soil and Light. The guy living behind me has a huge compost pile for the last 10 years so i took a shovel dug into the middle and grabbed some soil, transpl. a few plants that i had in straight soil into the Compost/Soil/Vermiculite mixture, just for a side by side comparision, and i did the same with a few seeds i germed.

As you can see in the first picture the seeds that i let germ, i forgot to put them under the light so they shot straight up, i left them on the far side of the light after watering one night. Also i have been working and hunting and forgot to water!! Im not exactly sure why the rest of the plants are " curling " or yellowing but im sure they will tuff thru it. The light you see inthe back is a SunLamp from the sixities not sure what type of light it is, assuming a mercury vapor lamp, and it produces 450W, with a lot of HEAT. I do not use it where it is sitting, way too close to the plants, the Light emits a VERY BLUE, VERY BLUE light. The Floros i have are 40W - One is a grow-lux one is a standard floro, Today i just added another set of two four foot floros.
