~My First CFL low budget grow~

I recently acquired some marijuana seeds and decided to do a home closet grow with them. I don't have a lot of money, so I decided to use CFL's which are a much cheaper, affective lighting method.

SUPPLIES
----------
-Two 27w CFL bulbs
-Miracle Grow Soil
-Tin Foil
-Dresser droor with three droors removed.
-Peat Moss Pots
-Four larger pots

Method
---------

I planted six seeds in a pot without germinating and am watering it daily with the lights on it.

For germinating I put about fifteen seeds in a wet sponge and kept it moist.

By the third day of germinating ten of the seeds had sprouted and a few were about three cm out of the seed. I'm planting the seeds that have sprouted most in the soil tonight. I'll fill everybody in on how things go, and hopefully get a few pictures to show you guys how I set things up.

good luck..i use cfls too and have had some ok luck..hope to see some pics when they get goin

I think I messed things up.
I realized the seeds were germinating in a DIRTY sponge.
They seemed to be germinating fine, so the bacteria didn't stunt the growth process, but would the bacteria from the sponge cause problems with the harvested marijuana or when the plant gets older?

What should I do?!

just grow em.. they should be fine.. if they die, germ some more.. dont freak out and make multiple posts about a dirty sponge.. next time use disposable paper towels.. u wont have this problem..

Making multiple posts about a dirty sponge?
I was simply asking whether the plant would still grow or not...

What would the best lamp for CFL bulbs be?

you can grow them with 2 but get atleast 4 or more for better growth i worked a month with 2 26 watts and they did good but there real shot now i would look into more lighting

also cheap as hell 100 watt cfl's here

Light bulbs, Rope Lights, Halogen and Fluorescent bulb - 1000-Bulbs - The Light Bulb Superstore or


www.buylighting,com look for something over 5000k spectrukm for vegg

but 2 of this or even 1 and some 26 wastts will get you going

I need a lamp or light fixture for the bulbs though.
Where can I buy a few for cheap?
