First time growing anything

Glad you think so @Oldguy was worried about the lil one until this afternoon. It perked right up under the dome on the windowsill today ! Going to try the window during the day and the 60 w cfl at night . The ILGM grow says not to put under HPS lighting until 3-4 weeks…when I transfer to the 6 gal.
Sound right ??

Ya. Sounds good.
I’ve got an led light that I’ll use for a couple weeks before putting under the big light. :v:

can I use it for a soil grow though?

it doesnt matter right?

I don’t see why not …but that’s for the experts on here to decide really. This is my first try at this gig , I’m appreciating all the advice I’ve been given . Ask these folks questions, read the forums lots of info and good people on here ! Best of luck @TheWeedMan

@jjs. That should get you thru the next couple weeks. At only 9 watts you should be able to lower it to about 20 in in a few days. Just watch out for stretching of your girls.
Here’s a look at my old 300 /bout 120 if I’m lucky watt light.


This is the start of my current grow back at the end of September.
I ended up at 18 inches above the domes just before switching the light over to the Mh.

Should I have the lights on them 24 hrs. Or do say a 18/6 schedule ?

Reading the forum I’m assuming 24 hours now until I transfer to larger pots and go under the hps light then 18/6 until flower. Then to 12/12 …

I’m the same way, I just want to have a successful grow, I spend more time on here reading all the journals then I do putting in work at my job. Lol. You’ll (we’ll) do good, lots of good growers here to help out.
Everyone loves pictures so don’t be stingy with the bud porn.
