i just started growin' a few weeks ago.

now my seeds are hatchin' and i'm ready to get this shit rollin'. i went to home depot to get 400watts but they dont carry'em. so i got a 300 and a 100, and i put'em on 2 different lamps right infront of the plant. now will this work just as good as a 400 watt alone?

also, how long does it usually take for it to grow enough for you to smoke? ( 4 months i think, right? )

thanks for any help.

300 + 100 = 400. Should work.

What type of light bulb is it??? Hopefully they are High Pressure Sodium or Metal Halide, Home Depot carries both, though I have never ever heard of them being in a 300 watt format. Both are normally 250, 400, 1000 watt, metal Halide i believe also exsists in 100, maybe 150 watt. Hopefully you stayed away from the coated type too. Your best bet when buying grow lamps is to go to a Hydroponic store if you can, they have everything under the sun.
