Ok so I'm going to have 12 plants in 2 1/2 gallon pots..right now i just planted 5 sprouted seedlings into 5 solo cups..I was going to put a fan blowing on them to make them stronger.

1) i have 2 40 watt flourescent lights on them right now...they are like 4 feet long...is that ok? i have 2 more 40 watt flourescent lights but i still gotta figure out a way to hang them.

2) will those lights be good for the whole process or should i pick up some CFL's. If so which ones should i get? Also if i were to use the lights i have now and switch to either CFL or HPS/MH...how long could i use the flourescents for?

3) how much water should i give the seedlings?

4) what nutrient mix should i get for them?

5) If i do upgrade to HPS/MH lamps which would be good ones for 12 plants?

6) how much could i yield around if i used flourescent compared to CFL's or MH/HPS?

7) will plants yield again after 1st harvest?

8) what's the earliest i can look to see if they are female/male?

9) i was going to get some kinda weaved wire to tie the plants to as they get taller...is this a good idea?

Basically i'm just trying to get the biggest amount out of the plants as possible and for it to be potent

any suggestions you guys have would be great!
