Clf cabinet grow (12/12) from seed

HEY ALL I AM NEW TO GROWING BUT I HAVE HAD A LIL EXPERIANCE B4 WITH AN OUTDOOR GROW THAT TURNED OUT FINE (SOZ I DONT HAVE PICS).

I HAVE READ THROUGH 100'S OF GROW JOURNALS AND GROW GUIDES ALSO LIGHTING ECT AND HAVE DECIDED TO VEG FOR 2 WEEKS UNDER MY 30W CLF 18/6 AND THEN PUT THEM INTO A 12/12 FLOWERING CYCLE FOR ABOUT 9-10 WEEKS.

I HAVE 2 SEEDS GERMINATING (I BELIEVE THEY ARE SATIVA STRAIN) AT THE MOMENT AND A 3 DAY OLD (SATIVA) PLANT,THE TEMPRETURE GOES BETWEEN 20-30 DEPENDING ON TIME OF THE DAY AND I AM PLEASED SO FAR WITH ITS GROWTH.

I HAVE GOT AROUND 300-400 WATS OF CLF (2700K) TO VEG AND FLOWER MY PLANTS.
I DNT THINK I WILL NEED DAYLIGHT BULBS AS THERE ONLY VEGGING FOR 2 WEEKS AND IF ITS A SUNNY DAY I PUT THEM OUTSIDE IN MY HOME MADE GROW BOX SO THEY WILL RECIEVE A FAIR AMMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT COMBINED WITH 2700K WHICH IS GOOD I HAVE HEARD.

I HAVE ENOUGH GROW SPACE FOR 2-3 PLANTS WITHOUT USING A LST METHOD (LOW STRESS TRAINING) WHICH I AM SCARED TO DO LOL.

I AM USING NORMAL TAP WATER BUT WAITING FOR IT TO RAIN BECAUSE APPARETLY RAIN WATER HAS A GD PH FOR UR PLANTS.
I HAVE SOME MIRACLE GROW THAT I WILL USE WHEN I START TO FLOWER AND THEY WILL BE PLANTED IN SOIL/GROWNDED WOOD CHIPPINGS.

I NEED TO PURCHASE A FAN FOR STEM THICKNESS AND KEEPING TEMPATURES DOWN.
I ALSO HAVE TEMPRETURE GUAGE.

I WILL UPLOAD PICTURES OF MY PLANTS/GROW ROOM SOON.

ALL COMMENTS/ADVICE WELCOME ESPECIALLY FROM CLF GROWERS/OR SHORT VEGATATION TIME GROWERS.

THANKS.

SOME OF YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY SUCH A SHORT VEGATATION TIME OF 2 WEEKS,THIS IS BECAUSE I FOUND OUT THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SOMETHINK CALLED 12/12 FROM SEED OR SHORT VEGETETATION TIME.

I HAVE FOUND SUM PICTURES TO SHOW U WHAT RESULTS CAN BE LIKE 12/12 FROM SEED ( MOSTLY SATIVA STRAINS).

http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=51760&page=36 MONSTER SATIVAS 12/12 FROM SEED MR NICE SUPER SILVER HAZE

IF YOU READ FROM PAGES 1-40 IT GIVES A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT ARE THE BEST STRAINS TO USE AND ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS.

PEOPLE CAN ACHIEVE UPTO (1G+ PER WATT) USING SATIVA STRAINS AND SOME INDICA HYBRIDS.

PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THERE JOURNALS OF 12/12 METHODS TO FIND OUT THE BEST WAY TO GROW USING 12/12 FROM SEED OR FROM A VERY SHORT VEGETATION TIME.

THEY ALSO INCLUDE THE BEST STRAINS TO GROW AND HYBRIDS.

IM SORRY IF PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY ME SEMI ADVERTISING THERE WEBSITE/FORUMS BUT THERE IS REVELENT INFORMATION THAT I HAVE AND WILL USE IN THERE.

ALL COMMENTS/ADVICE WELCOME PLZ.

the correct way to fully vegetate and flower a llant is around 5-8 weeks of vegatation and 7-8 weeks for flowering but sativa strains are different,they dont really need flowering becasue where they origanolly grow they recieve 14 hours of daylight max and this dosent effect the qaulity or quantity of the bud it produces.

also should i put my plants in my outdoor grow box when it is funny because surly that will be more better light than 2 low wattage clf's.

Wrong.

Rather or not you end up with a female plant.. is some what... luck. Unless you have all femanized seeds.. then of course.. you should have all female plants once sprouted.

But yeah, the light cycle during flowering.. will not and does not determine the sex of your plant. It has a lot to do with genetics.. and where the seed came from in the first place bro.

Hope that helped you out some... because you were waaayyy off. :)

peace.:peace:

I know a lot of growers that veg for 2 weeks or until 24", whichever comes first, usually 2 weeks.....isn't earth shattering stuff here...

sup all so ive just completed my 2 weeks veg under a 40w 2700k and a 14w 2700k.

here are a few crappy pics

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8460/2weeksflower1.jpg 2 weeks veg

i have noticed the first 2 leaves that look like single bladed leaves seams to be going brown but its slowly going so im ok.

i will be putting my 150w 2700k under this after the first week of flowering.
i
m watering with rain water (apparently good ph) once every 2-3 days,then rewater when the top of the soil is slowly going dampish.

also do u think its time to repot ? there in pots a little bit bigger than plastic cups.

also when me and my m8 woke at 7 done a wake and bake and walked 3 miles of countryside to a garrage for sum munch i tripped out and saw this on the way.
