Any recommendations on grow lights?

Pic is just for effect. Wondering what the crew here uses in terms of watts? Brands? LED? Hanging distance from plants?

Seed storage: Refrigerate?

A kind community member shared their seeds with me earlier this season. I have them in a cabinet in my basement, here in New England. We've been going through a heat wave, and I have a dehumidifier in running down there.

Is this going to be a problem?

Should I store them in the refrigerator (as I've seen noted online a couple of places)?

I'm looking to sow them this late fall, early winter.

Are these the ones I'm looking for?

I grew these from seeds and they just seem tiny comparably to much of what I see.... I don't want to make a beverage that will make me sick if they're not? Assistance appreciated!

Any ideas? Help!!

They were gorgeous until I moved em into the buckets, I transplanted from peat cups so I know I didn’t disturb roots, I have a spiderfarmer sf1000 light on em, only thing different is there isn’t the greenhouse effect like when they were here- other pic-
Can someone please help me save em?

Don’t stop watering them

Already harvested half of my crop. Now the bottoms are filling in with new flowers. I’ve been continuously watering it once soil gets bone dry 1-2 Inches underground. I see people here saying not to water them but if you look at big commercial crops they have full irrigation. If you want to get full potential of plant size and bud sites it needs water. My biggest plant this year harvested 17 pods and I have 6 more coming in now!

I found these growing semi wild, and firstly, I've personally never seen so many Chicks, but also, where's the main pod?
