I know these pics are not great at all, but am dying to hear from you all, I have a T5 HO gro light, and I am thrilled with the plants reaction to it in just a few days. It is so amazing. I will get better pics tomorrow.

The only thing I do know about growing under lights is that now that It is here, I don't have a clue what I am doing. I Have an idea on light and plant distance, I was shocked at how quickly the soil is dry. Do I pretend it's summer all year long, Do I make sure to provide a rest for every plant? I would after blooming of course, is there an illegal steroid I can get my hands on and have big beautiful lil shop of horror blooms, I don't mean that, but I do really really want to see my plants keep growing the way they are right now. It is so much fun.!!

Please share your experience and tips and tricks you have learned along the way. What is the worst thing that can happen, (Because that is probably going to happen) Big Grin Is there a book I could order, that helped some of you?

Thanks for the help all as it was you guys who helped me pick the right light, I am so excited to have flowers in Novermber,
Laurie B
