To make a cannabis plant flower it needs 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light. You can accomplish this with a timer, mother nature does this naturally toward the end of the year (when days shorten). So if you do put a light bulb in there, you need a timer too. If you leave the light on 24 hours a day you will fuck your plant up.

To harvest it, just chop it off above the soil. Remove all the large leaves and trim the leaves around the bud til you just have buds on sticks. Hang it upside down in a room that has decent air flow that is dark. Have a fan circulate air in the room but don't blow directly on the plants. You want it to take a week or 2 to dry if you do it right, if you dry it faster it will smoke harsh.

After you dry it, you cure it. This is a process of putting it in an airtight jar and allowing the chlorophyll to break down. Curing increases potency and taste. Read more about it in the grow faqs.



If you want to get lightbulbs, go to wal-mart and buy some compact fluorescent bulbs (42 actuall watts) probably says like 200 watt or 150 watt. The little spiral shaped screw in fluorescent. Puts out 2700 lumens if you get the warm white colored bulb. Two or 3 should do you fine. You can get cheap sockets for them at lowes or home depot. If you go to the section that has extension cords look for shop lights. They are like a light socket on the end of a cord with a round reflector. You can pick up a timer at lowes or wal-mart as well.
