    Leaves folding towards light?

    I found the light info. My 4'ers are Philips F32T8/DX tubes.

    I got the light fixtures at wallyworld but I got the bulbs at home depot.

    IDK if wally will have the bulbs, they may have something suitable, once again IDK. Lowes might have em too if a HD isnt close by, usually where there is one the other isnt too far...

    And, No worries bout the help bro. Not very long ago at all I was in worse shape than you, here at can.com asking a bunch of stupid questions. Just remember this: It is always better to ask a stupid question than to make a stupid mistake. That being said, IDK how dumb I sound, I'll ask

    how many plants are you growing with those bulbs? and, would all of mine be okay with just 4 of them? Or do you think i should jump up to 6 or so?

    they look fine...specially for starters under cfls. your just better off buying 6 60 watts for now...plus it depends on how much you plan to do with that? useally its 1 or 2 with clfs...well with this many plants but other than that they look fine they move to the light when it turns on? dont do 16/8 do 18/5 but 24 hours first 2 weeks shouldnt effect it at all.just bigger. never use nutri untill 4 weeks after seeds sprout

    Spot growlights give off more heat than lumens.

CFL's are a much better choice, or if you must...a fluorescent tube set-up with proper bulbs.

    Miracle Grow 6 month soil has an immediate-release of nitrogen which lasts about two weeks. Problem is...every time you water it will release a bit more. This isn't optimal for seedlings, so you might want to flush well with properly ph'd water to remove some of that 'original' nitrogen. After they acclimate, they should be fine.
    Do not keep the soil saturated. Cannabis prefers a wet-dry cycle.
    No additional nutrients for a month or two, minimum.

    You'll need to get a handle on your water ph. Check online for your local water quality report, if you can't afford a freshwater aquarium ph test kit. ($7.00 or so)

    Treat your weed like it's a weed, and you'll get a crappy weed. Treat it like it's your medicine, and it's do what you need it to do.
