I also have another question about ventilation, now when the term ventilation comes in to play, I really have no idea how I should go about ventilating my closet. its a walk in closet of course, but itsjust a grow room now though. SO if I can get any advice, I also have a pretty cheap budget...so im trying to keep the prices at a minimal.

Yes, you should let the water sit for at least 24hrs. before use as Saintlouie1981 said, but I usually let mine sit for at least 48hrs just to be safe. Also on the ventilation question, you could get a small oscillating fan and put it in the back of the closet blowing out of the closet so you would be blowing hot air out of the grow area. Also, you said your using one 26W CFL, you may need to upgrade to a couple more AT LEAST and remember to keep them a couple of inches from the tops for max efficiency. My first grow I pulled about and ounce and half off 2 plants under 7 CFL's so I would def. upgrade to a few more lights! 6500K for veg and 2600 for flower, but I'm only on my 2nd grow so I'm still a n00b really, but I did pretty well my first time....Just food for thought though!:thumbsup:
