Why don't you just ask what the one miracle thing to do to make it the best weed in the world.

There are no lights that use the least amount of electricity but are as stong as the sun.

There aren't any ingredients to make the THP(?)(maybe he meant THC) levels higher. I could rip u a new one and tell you to use the search feature but ill just tell you what you want to know.

Those ingredients you spoke of are called nutrients (nutes) or fertilizer. For a soil grow, go to home depot or a grow shop and get some fox farm or miracle grow. Search and read some posts to find what is best for you.

CFLs (compact florescents) are the most efficient lights but don't produce all that many lumens. HPS or MH produce a lot of lumens but use a lot of juice. So you have to pick decent bud with cfls equals a cheap power bill or better maybe great bud with a HPS/MH for a more expensive power bill.

As for the male female issue, look at the pic

Look at stinkyattics form for more detailed growing info.
