Many Different Questions from a First Time Grower

[turtle420]

thanks for the tip but whats a node? can u give me an example? and how many watts should i have?

A node = where the leaves come out of the stem.

And, because I'm psychic, I'm anticipating your next question:::

Alternating node = when the plant is young, leave sets (nodes) come ONE-on-the-left and ONE-on-the-right. When the plant is mature, the nodes are ONE-on-the-left, nothing on the right... a little further up the stem, ONE-on-the-right, nothing on the left. Alternating.

Watts... as much as you possibly can afford. Never too much.
