    Plants of any sort need three things to grow well:

    Food, Light and Water.

    Light you have with lamps... basically. Maybe - depending on the lamp you have, what spectrum it illuminates in and how powerful it is.

    There are specially designed grow lights which are meant to start plants or grow plants inside a "dim" house. The spectrum of the light is toward the blue and ultraviolet which plants tend to like.

    Food is in the form of fertilizers - usually a decent 10/10/10 will work. If you do not know what that means then I strongly suggest you get some books and learn about what those numbers mean.

    Water - different plants have different needs - in many cases less water leads to "stronger" growth - smaller yes, but in the case of herbs there is a concentration of the active ingredients. As example, my dill does better with less water, the dill is more dill-ish for canning.

    Aside from it being illegal to grow marijane - it is also ill advised to grow it indoors. Marijane is a type of plant that needs 8 hours (at least) per day of direct sunlight.

    I fear there is not enough man made light fixtures you can place in your house to meet those needs reasonably.

    Those who do meet those needs have a huge electric bill which now in many states and regions is enough to cause an investigation (legal one at that) and is how many/most pot growers are "caught".

    a grow box helps, you can make one by just covering the inside of a cardboard box with foil, and then putting the light at the top, that reflects all the light back to the plant. also 18 hours on and 6 off is the optimum light for plants up to the flowering stage. fertilizer and keeping them watered is important....and most of all patience

    Tip the plant when it has about 5 sets of leaves, right when it first starts growing. It should grow as two solid branches, like a big Y. Then tip both branches when it gets it first sets of white hairs. Then tip all the branches that are growing off these 2 branches JUST before it starts budding. You should end up with two MASSIVE heads, if you time it right. Just experiment with the way you allow your plants to develop.

    Hi mate take it from someone who had done this over and over, Veg ur plant under cfl/fluro lights, or a metal halide, but i just grow under my HPS, you can leave them under the lamp 24/7 f you want but i keep it at 18 hours on and 6 hours off. When the plant is at least 18ins you want to put them under the light for 12 on and 12 hours total darkness (i meant dark, no light at all) when ur just growing the weed (vegitating) you want a fertalizer with high nitrogen and when flowering (12/12) you want a nutrient that has highter Phosphorus. good luck mate hope i helped ;)
