One 400w HPS is MORE than enough for one plant. Bonita will love it.


And I'm happy to help when I can, but I'm about still pretty much a newbie myself. This is a great forum for taking a couple of viewpoints and then choosing the direction you want to go. But most people seem to agree on what to do in the early stages.

With one plant, though, you want to keep Bonita's environment as stress free as possible. It's believed that stressing a plant can be a major factor in turning 'her' into a him or hermie. You're starting with a 50/50 shot at a female. Some people believe you can get those odds up to 60/40 or better and also believe that you can almost guarantee a male with some major screw ups.

When you repot, I'd also recommend using Schultz Rooting Hormone. It comes in a small container, also from your garden center, and just a few bucks. You sprinkle the white powder in the open hole that you are about to set the plant root ball into. Also coat the actual root ball.
