trynagethigh Reviewed by trynagethigh on . new grower hello, this is my first grow from bagseed, i'm using at the moment a 30w compact fluourescent. Its a 5000k bulb that supposedly emits 150w of light. I started 3 of the seeds in the water bottles that i have in there, they have a bunch of holes poked in the bottom. the little plant was transplanted from another pot, so its growth slowed down a bit. one of my plants has grown big and fast, and my medium plants slowed down when i poured water in them and the roots shifted, one benefit of this Rating: 5
