welcome to the farm covert. do you think you can grab yourself a t5 fixture or even a 250w ? you have to start somewhere and its cool your giving it a go but i think youd be alot happier at the end with more light. you might want to build yourself a cabinet or buy a small tent to put them in. even a closet would work. good luck with your grow.
Reminds me of my very first grow when I was like 16 in my parents house. (Needless to say my Dad busted me) These guys are right though, the more light the better. You can pick up a 2x2 grow tent on Ebay for like 100 bucks, then spend another 100 and pick yourself up a used 400W MH or HPS light. For the 200 dollar investment you will be able to pump out some quality nugs for yourself. You will need plenty of air-circulation to keep your temps cool, so you will also need a very good exhaust fan and a timer. But with those little things it will make a BIG difference! Oh, welcome to the farm, LOL
PS. Ditch the miracle grow! Get your self a cheap 2-part fertilizer, Earth Juice grow/bloom would be a good start for your soil garden.
Covert, some decent nuggage can be put out from some cfls if you have in enclosed space. My first grow was with cfl's and a made a box out of two big rubbemaid totes stacked on top of each other and the middle cut out and all glued together added a small pc fan and life was sweet not much yield just over an oz but it was fun and a great learning experience.
Tent is a good way to go as long as you can deal with the heat issues that will come up. I wish you the best and I hope you realize how freakin addictive this shit gets!
Weed isn't addictive but growing it sure as hell is!:sun2:
Ok so ive been doing some research and it looks like THIS would be the best deal for the money in terms of lighting. im going to be building my own box out of wood so i dont have to worry about buying that. Just gunna get a 120mm computer fan like i previously stated for air flow. What do you guys think of that? Remember im new and open to any suggestions.
