What exactly do you need help with?

 

[mopar1974]

Well need to know what else i need to do honestly from here when do i know when the bud is ready how big of a light should i have and how many watts and do i need more soil do i need to add anything else to help it.I mean i grew it with a heat lamp (crome dome)with like a 140 watt light and its healthy green but now the edge of the leave are begining to fade so i started the 12/12 didnt know when to start but after lurking on here for like 10 minutes i realized i was so so so stupid haha.

Most of your questions you can find searching the forum. You need a jewelers loupe for determining when to harvest. For 4 plants 250 watt hps should be fine i think. Im not familiar with soil so hopefully someone else will ring in. I know you need ferts with more phosphorus tho.

The Phosphorus is .7 in the soil and thanks for the help ill make sure to keep reading here and there when i can i work to much so its hard to lol
