    I just set up my new shop 4 days ago so far I have 2 nice 2 1/2 in plants. My closet is not very big it is only 36x36in. . Inside for the light I have a syvanyla 75 watt. light bulb . I keep the timer on a 20/4 light cycle. I do not know any thing about growing this is my first time and everything that i am doing i got off the internet. If someone could help me (ex). give me info or if someone could tell me if the equipment that i have is good enough to grow a mindfuck plant.
    Thanks again for all of your help
    will have pics of my plant soon as soon as i get all the right equipment

    You need a HPS lamp first off!
    150 - 250 watt light.

    Vetilation for heat!

    Tell no one!

    Go to Borders or whatever bookstore is nearby and purchase a good indoor grow guide!

    HPS = High Pressure Sodium, the kind of lamp you need for indoor cultivation. You can get them at a grow shop, either in person or mail order. They also sell them on e-bay and a few hardware emporiums.

    You can't grow with "regular" lights.
    You can use fluorescents, but you'll get 2--3 x more bud with HPS.

    You gave 2 deminsions--36" x 36"--what's the 3rd measurement (l x w x height)? You don't want to attempt to grow in a space less than 4' tall.

    Read read read read.

    18/6 plants need time to heal, they do that during dark time...

    24/0 is used for clones until they've rooted.

    Many people have reported excellent veg growth on a 20/4 schedule. The "norm" is 18/6.

    honestly, there are minor differences between the 24/0 cycle and the 18/6, but not really enough for there to be a huge difference. All 18/6 means is that the plant is using stored energy during the dark period, 24/0 means that it's constantly using the raw energy of the light. If I were to guess, Id say the plants grow a little faster under 24/0.
