    Advice (Plants Sad and on the verge of death maybe)

    If you cover the plant with a clear bowl or something it should be fine in the cold, but if you want to bring it inside temporairly you can pick up compact flourescent lights, the ones that fit in regular light sockets that are spiraled between 1 regular daylight CFL a few inches from the top of the plant should be plenty of light for it to grow at that size but thick clay soil is not ideal for the roots. Ideally you want a light airy soil mixture that drains well and is not clumpy

    Thanks man, I had to replace it out of that clay soil anyway. I practically shit my pants when I saw it today.. It isn't looking too good for the fact that somehow there were Thousands of tiny mites in the soil and all around.. FML

    I also tore off the broken leafs, I don't know if this one is gonna make it..

    So this is where I moved the plant. Is that light good enough until I find a better one? Thanks

    The location won't be a problem, but unless that Dewalt is using a fluorescent bulb, it's not going to be very useful and will likely cause your seedling to stretch more than you want. Get a couple of CFL's on it as soon as you can, and keep the light as close to the leaves as you can without burning them.

    To add to that, get some 6500K (Daylight) CFL's....You can get a 4 pack for like $10 at a hardware store of some sort, or even wal-mart ($13).....Looking at the size of the space 4 CFL should be plenty good to get some NICE bud, so long as you can control the heat problems (if any)...Pick up a couple of Y splitters from wal-mart ($1.88) and you can run 2 CFL off each splitter!! Anywho, good luck!!

    So I replaced the light with one of these lamps.

    So far I am watering the plant every other day minimally.

    It is a fluorescent white light lamp. Insanely bright.. I have two of them btw. Am considering putting both in but think that is too much.

    If they are fluorescent bulbs then when putting your hand underneath the bulb if it isn't really too hot, you should be able to move the light a few inches from the top of the plant to really maximize your lumen output on the plant...Also there is no such thing as TOO bright...The more light the better, so long as you can control the temps like you'd like then you should be perfectly fine adding another!

    I replanted it in normal soaked dirt.. Will it Survive?? And When I replanted it I took the whole sponge out which exposed roots and tore off another root. FML!

    I didn't know these plants were so sensitive!
    I would have just planted the sponge with the roots intact....
