    this is my first time growing. ok so a friend of mine gave me his plant. he said its only like 2 weeks old. its about 2 feet tall right now. I have it in my closet and its under a 300 watt bulb. and a 40 watt next to it. I put tin foil up around it. the closet is in my room and its in the basement which is kinda cold so I put a heater in there to warm it up. it looks fine for the most part. its nice and warm in there. Ill try and post pics as soon as I can. is the 300 watt bulb with the 40 watt next to it too much? and should I not have a heater in there? he also said to have the light off for 14 hours and then have it on for 12. I dont think thats right? how long do you think I should have the light on it for?
