Ur probably right on the pics. I doubt anyone is gonna come get yea. I just had to listen to my friend for the past 2 hours go on about how we need code words and need to stop texting, chatting and emailing each other. Phone calls are ok as long as we use code words, but we still don't have that worked out. Ok well, nice fucking knowing you I guess as it seems the only time we can communicate about our partnership is over Thanksgiving dinner and even then behind the shed. Some people are just a bit too paranoid I guess.

Um so ya I don't know what blue florescence are but my guess is that your talking about a fish tank bulb. There is lots to know about growing pot with floro's, much more then I care to get into. Bottom line is that you are on the right track with this line of thinking now that you realize that your window aint gonna cut it. Stick with T5 HO bulbs or you will be right back here again in a month wondering why the floros arent working and complaining someone gave you bad advice and you want your window back. T5 HO's are only starting to catch hold so make sure you get T5 HO's and not their little brother T5. They put out twice the lumens as the regular T5's and gobs more then any other type bulbs such as T8 or T12 from Home Depot. All you need are two numbers: 6,000k bulbs for vegetative growth and 3000k spectrum bulbs for flowering. Check into a hydroshop, ebay or a local custom electrical lighting house for the T5 Ho's. You can piecemeal one together for way under 50 bucks for what I am describing to you.

I would suggest you hang several bulbs in a vertical fashion around the plant. Let the plant grow length wise along the bulb...it works very very well and you could do this with maybe 3 x 3 foot bulbs. There is something called power compact or pc bulbs which are really good at hanging vertically. The wires attach only on one end instead of both which means you would need to run wires the length of the plant to go this route...not a big deal just something to consider. The pc bulbs put out nearly the same amount as T5ho's.

Let's talk soil. No you can not put new soil on top of old. At this point I would probably recommend you go ahead and repot it anyway. I forget what size pot you have mow, but I don't recall it being all that big anyway. Let's get you into a 5 gallon bucket at this point. Drill a few holes down into the bottom of a bucket and line it with some rocks about 2 inches deep. Then go get some of that fancy soil you were talking about and while your there check into something called perlite perlite. If you have a hydroponics supply house in your town (google it) then maybe your better option would be with coco coc. Either way which ever product you end up mix it in with your soil at about a half and half ratio. This add-in product, either the coco or the perlite will allow you to go longer periods without watering. In fact, when you add in either of these substances, be sure and not over water as that will likely become your easier threat at this point. About every 3 days aught to be enough even outside in the heat, but it will certainly last the day or longer. I use coco and soil for outdoor basil and herbs for my wife and it's way over 105 and still I water every 3 days and the plants are as green as anything grown inside.

Throw out the old soil as there aren't likely any nutrients left in that soil anyway. When your done growing this plant, throw that soil out too. Soil gets used up after a few months, usually 3 at most is all you can let a plant live for in soil. After that you need to start thinking about adding nutrients and additives that are being removed from the soil. You can get into that shit down the road hommie, for now stick with miracle grow but definitely add a filler in and mix it up good. Be careful with your old plant, but slide the sucker out and put it in its new home. Break up as best you can the root ball and remove the easiest to remove dirt. Then spread out the roots and start adding soil into the bucket. Most soil growers end up doing this twice during their life cycle. A starter cup, a 1 gallon vegging pot and then a 3 or 5 gallon flowering pot, all within 3 months.

And at this point you need to start doing your home work. Your not going to get too much more out of us as there really are better sources then I for growing in soil or growing in general. Good luck champ, your on the right track with the discovers made in this thread.
