Help a fellow newbie grower?
1, your gonna need to keep reading up on the facts and basics. 2. eventually that 60watts, will need to be replaced - if you plan on continuning this already started effort. (Lowes carries plant lights, so do many other retail stores) You'll pretty much need to transplant those new plants, into something a bit more reasonable, like a 10 or 12" pot. I'd say your total cost for an upgrade be's about: $20 bucks, just say the light is most of the price, excluding the pots which might be about a buck 50. Looks good so far.

Help a fellow newbie grower?
im guessing that you are like me and want to grow some herb with the least amount of haslte and money spent. heres my tried nd tru setup
1. get a big bag of potting soil from a dep. store ($10 or more for organic)
2. 2 24 ins flourescent bulbs.(good for 2 plants $10 each) i use one called a "grow light" which puts out a blueish light an the other is a "warm" light which looks like your average flouro bulb
3. some rope and some hooks to hang them from your ceiling. do it in a way that you can adjust the height
4. i use rose feed that i found in my dads shed and some holly feed which smells like shit but is a good source of nutes. i also mix some compost and a few worms in my soil. you can feed your plants with other things just do some research.
5. use your judgement when applying nutes and watering it is easy to burn your plants
6. keep the lights on 24/7. flouros dont give off as much light or heat (relatively NO heat) as more advance systems
7. if your plants are in an open area DONT SMOKE
8. use a spreay bottle daily to keep the top failry moist but NOT soaked and dont let your leaves get to dry
9. keep an eye on your plants and youll grow sum decent weed for your personal enjoyment
