lighting? Jul 21, 2010 10:25:25 GMT -5

Hey there everybody. Im a "newb" to VFT growing, so dont jump all over me here, but what are people using for indoor lighting. I live in Kitchener, and outdoor lighting (sun) has been inconsistent to say the least. Also, my plant fell from a high up spot, in the wind and took damage, and now it also looks like there is something (have to assume it's microscopic insect larvae) eating away a developing leaf on my plant. All of this has caused me to decide to grow indoors. Is a 3400k fluorescent bulb going to work, or is 6500k the only way to go? Neem oil for the bugs, correct? Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

LOVE to grow stuff, but can't grow what I love to grow (damn Tories!!). I have moved to CP's because they are beautiful, INCREDIBLY fascinating, and most importantly...I won't be sent to jail for having them grow in my house!!
