    Hey all,

    I've been smoking pot for about six years now, and I recently purcahsed some bud. I ground it up, and in the bottom of my grinder was 3 seeds. Now, I plan no growing these plants indoors, and use it for myself, not to sell.

    Anyway, I can keep them at my window where they will get 9 hours of sun, until it starts to look like Marijuana. Then I'll have to move it to avoid nosie neighbors.

    Will this light be good enough?

    Sorry, it asks for a sign in. Use the postal code N5V 1A7. The seeds are a greyish green.

    Thanks.

    flourescent lighting is ok... that one strip probably isnt strong enough for a pot plant though... lights like that are designed for smaller flowers, pot grows at a really fast rate which means it needs lots and lots of sunlight, that light would prob work in the veg state for a while but i doubt you would get any really yield from a light like that, your plant would prob just die. If your serious about growing i would look on ebay for some used HPS systems.... heres a 400 watt used system that would be more what
    you should aim for

    a basic guide for lights is that you need to produce at least 2500 lumens for one plant but thats just to keep it alive, for a real good quality plant you want to be making around 40,000 or more lumens

    I hate to tell ya but the window grow is good for screwing around and getting arrested.

    But you are in Canada where....... well you know ;) so you can always use those for practice.
