I have had my issues with my first grow and found (through way too much reading) that we tend to make it out to be way too complicated. Marijuana is just a plant and all plants want to grow and live. If you keep it simple, they will.

What I found is this works great:

5 sockets with y adapters. 10 total 26W daylight 6700k bulbs. (260 W total)

a fan to circulate air.

another fan to pull heat out.

50% perlite and 50 percent miracle grow moisture control soil.

Germinate seeds in paper towels.

set timer for 22 hours on 2 off

Water once well with superthrive to boost root growth and leave alone for 3 days.

Make sure the heat doesnt rise above 85 degrees.

Don't add nutrients because the soil already has them.
water as little as possible to keep soil moist about 1 inch under the soil.

DO NOT OVER WATER.

Once plants are about 1 month old water with 1/2 strength Shultz african violet fert.

Dont over fertilize.

LST the plant to keep it low for the cfls.

If this is your first grow use the cfls throughout switching to 2700k bulbs for budding. (you will get good buds) you first car wasnt a ferrari so start easy.
once you harvest smoke some and think of new techniques for your second grow.

Most importantly, dont over think it. The plants will grow. Not much at first but by week 3 the start to grow very fast.

This is suitable for up to 5 plants for me.

peace and happy farming.
