Hi all, I just registered due to this thread. It's been enormously helpful in setting up my closet.

I'm using bagseed which I germinated in a paper towel. I've got one that has germinated thus far and is planted, but had some questions.

So far I have 4 x 42 watt CFLs giving off ~2600 lumens each. I plan on expanding this to 6 bulbs soon. I assume this is adequate for a 2' x 2.5' grow space? Also, having just planted one of the seeds under the soil, how much light should it get? I have a timer setup so I can make it 18 on/6 off when I actually see a plant emerge, so should I stick with that now or leave it on 24 hours? Lastly, where are you guys getting your color spectrum info for the bulb. I looked all over the packaging and couldn't find it. It's the 42 watt CFL sold at Home Depot under the name Commercial Electric.

I bought Miracle Gro organic soil to plant it in, but saw it recommended mixing it with ordinary topsoil. Anyone have experience with this? Are there going to be too many nutes for a baby seedling?

Any advice would be appreciated. I'll post pics once the Mylar I ordered comes in and the closet looks all nice and neat.
