A couple of nubbie questions :)

Hey, first time grower!
i was just wondering do i have to use nutes to grow my plants and if i dont how will this affect my plant!
and also (i know there is a lot of posts about this but i could not find anything specific) can i switch to 12/12 anytime? because i dont want to grow my plant for 6 weeks then switch to 12/12 and find out that i was meant to leave it for 9 weeks before switching to 12/12!

all your knowlage would be greatly apreaciated!

You can 12/12 from seed but you'll get little plants, I like to wait a few weeks just so I can top my plant. Many soils already contain nutes so be careful of that, they won't need anything to boost them unless you veg for a long time. Fish emulsion and seaweed blends are good feeders though if you want to add nutes during feedings.

Thanks man! so if i started 12/12 2 weeks in how long would it take to bud? and after it budding how long would it take to be ready to harvest?

Most plants require 6-9 weeks at 12/12 to be ready for harvest, I'd push for the high end if you choose to 12/12 before a month of veg.

sweet man thanks a lot

U wudnt starve urself righ ..so don't starve ur plants bro they need nutes to grow and be healthy ...u can start 12/12 at n e time even from seed but some veg time is needed for *good root development (3 weeks onward) more roots bigger buds....like fuzzotany sed it takes 6 to 9 weeks to harvest mabe a lil more .....
