That light won't grow you much at all. Maybe a joint or 2. Don't give your plants nutes until theyare 3-4 weeks old, you don't automatically give nutes...you wait until they need nutes. Give them plain water. You need a metal halide or compact fluoros for veg and a high pressure sodium for flower, these are the most important thing about the grow, along with air circulation(a fan) and a good temp(75-80 is optimal). Good luck.

There is no way you are going to get a few ounces from 75w of any type of light. Compact fluoros might get you a small amount of bud but a regular 75w incandescent won't get you much, if any, bud at all. I'm growing small plants and I have 600w of lighting.

To answer your previous questions...NO that is not a good setup.

Please do some reading here before you jump in to germinating next time and be prepared for your grow. As i see it you have about 2 weeks before your plant/s will die from lack of proper lighting and growth practices. It may stay green and look happy, but you'll get crap off it after a lot of hard wasted work.

Read some, invest a lille time, and money in proper lights, nutes, pots, venting, watering techques, on and on.

Or be better prepared with the lives you take in your hands....MJ is a Lady.

MONEY im not too sure those lights work good, i started with 2 of those the 15" ones and they sucked!!! my plants got so stretched... he is better off buying a 4 pack of CFL (23 watts each - 6400 Lumens) for $9 at home depot or lowes
