my first indoors grow im realy stressed i need some answers

im growing in a 2X3 closet with a 6 gallon pot fileld wit some composted soil from my yard the seeds (4) are on day 1 of pre germination.

question number 1. the only bulb i can find is a 40 watt im only growing 2 palnts will that be enough wpsf (watts per sq ft)?

question number 2. im 17 hense forth i live with my mom and im still in school what are some creative ways to hide the glare from the bulb and the potent smell from the marijuana (she lets me smoke but im not to shure how she will take to me growing)?

question number 3. during the stages of growth how what are the ratios for hight/water hight/amount of light alloted

question number 4. about how tall can i let the plants get (assuming theyre both fems) before i start cutting the light to 12/12

question number 5. if the 40 watt isnt going to be enough will you please tell me now what watt bulb i will need to grow 2 marijuana plants from seed to flowering im very very tight on money so i would prefer a bublb that can fit in the socket im using for my 40 watt

Please, anybody feel free to correct me if I am wrong but.........

1. I don't think 40 watts is enough to do anything. It takes about 50 watts per square foot minimum.


2. The space you descibe is too small, you will need ventilation and some sort of odor controll. something like a powered vent to the outdoors.

do not do this. wait till you get your own place. odor control and lighting and ventilation is not going to be concealable.

1. No that's not nearly enough light to grow anything worthy of growing.
2. Cardboard box lined with emergency blanket (walmart sporting goods bout 3 bucks)
3.You didn't mention perlite so I'm assuming you didn't use it. Your soil will not drain well enough to get you very far. Repot smaller with perlite mixed in...then we'll have a course on watering....
4. Grow start to finish 12/12...don't worry about height.
5. As many cfls as you have fixtures for for which you can control the heat.
Good luck...
