So my main worry about this set-up is the amount of light going to my plants. A little about the setup:
2'x4'x8' closet space
2 seeds from bagweed
potted both in a 2 or so gallon pot with MG potting soil moisture control(yeah, i know...)
Lighting:
40W desk lamp; some sort of halide??(from closeup pic above if you can see it sorta well)
a 10000K/15W florescent 14" bulb for aquarium; basically like a day-glow spectrum i think
and some other light that is 15W for an aquarium as well.

Nutes:
adding molasses once every week or so starting yesterday
no other nutes at the time, trying to keep it simple and cheap:thumbsup:

pH
runoff:?
tap:?
hardness:7.7dkm/2.74alk in meq/L
I can test Calcium to..would this be useful? What is a fair alkalinity for the runoff/tap water? Do i need pH tests?

Vent:
1 or 2(haven't added the second yet) small, powerful, computer cooling fans
Low humidity, this is a grow in southern cali close to beach and has good average temps but can get fairly dry later. Plant is moisted with spray bottle 2 or 3 times daily.

Thats basically it. Let them take their own course probably without using nutes. I am trying to keep this ACAP
As CHEAP AS POSSIBLE
While learning as much as possible so SIMPLE is the plan
I don't have to many questions so far although i wish my plant were bigger 5 weeks in, its the lighting i assume, will this just make it a slower grow? Can i still produce a descent quantity with this lighting set up?
As you can see they had a little bit of suffering which happened before i transplanted them to MG soil. The soil i had before was WAY worse and the little girls seem to be starting to take to the new soil. Lights were also moved back down closer to the plants. During the first 2-3 weeks of growth they were ALL about stem growth, possibly a nutrient/lighting problem...
This has been slowed to a stop as well as al other growth when they were dying in the old soil up to know where they are starting to acclimate and root themselves into their new medium. Will they start shooting up and out soon? What should i expect on this and if you're still reading this question, no, you don't have to answer all these questions.
Im total nwb so just putting all my thoughts out there. I will make sure to throw on pics of the *girls*(i hope) as they grow so come back take a look, comment and hey if you feel like it you can answer some of these question^^^:thumbsup::thumbsup:
All right thats all i can think of.
Sup wit it?
