Bag seed and Hindu Kush just couple of questions.

This here is my bag seed in 18th day of flowering, at least that's what i think. I might missed actual flowering start, because I'm really new to growing. Anyway I am on 12/12 for about month, and I read somewhere that after flowers are developed, I should switch to lets say 8h light / 16h darkness. According to this website it is a fastest way to get to the point of harvesting stage. Is that true? Would someone recommend it? Or is there better way? Should I stay on 12/12?

Thank you for all the help.

That is false. Plants have a certain time needed to developed. You can prolong that period of time by stressing the plant, but you cannot shorten the time

correct oh and change your bulbs, those bulbs are for veg
Those are just on side where light from two 105W (2700K) don't give that much light... those are two 45W (5500K) which i heard are good for both and apparently a more spectrum light is a good think. Am I right? Or is that also a false info?

Guys have anyone any idea what strain this is? I guess it's quite hard to tell only from look, but maybe someone have some opinion? This is a bag seed so I don't really know what is it.

Also, what do you think, how many weeks do I have left?
Thank you for any opinions.

There is no way to determine strain by just looking. I would say that you have about a month til harvest. The easiest way for me to tell it is ready is when the hairs have receded into the calyx. You can get a scope and look at the trichomes at that point.

I have question about watering. If I have my plants in 4 gallon pots (3.91 to be exact, took me quite while to put cm to inches, than that to dm3 than that to gallons, but I've done it... ) and my plants are about 60cm / 24 inches tall both in flowering phase, one for about 3 weeks second one for 2 weeks. How much water should I feed them? I'm giving them every second day half a liter. But is that enough? I have quite strong fan in my grow box, and I think it is drying my soil (compost) quite quick, but I might be wrong, so my question is am I giving them to much, to less or exact? If not how much should I?

My compost is an organic, orchid mix from Westland. (pH 5.5 - 6).

whats your water/feed/flush schedule?
Well to be honest, this is my first grow and I was mostly improvising with feeding, watering, nuts and so on. But if someone have some good schedule, nuts , feeding , watering , ... I would really appreciate some tutorial, some help. I'm starting my second grow, Afghan Kush Ryder, and I would love to get as much and as best as I can, I will be using between 300 - 500 W cfl, 6 gal pot and soil (mixture). Any opinions appreciated. Thank you all...

u shouldnt treat it unless ur sure thats what it is,
wanted to ask just thought, i noticed on many photos, that leaves are starting to get yellow week or two before harvest, is it possible that these spots are beginning of finishing flowering? Because I am about 2 weeks maybe 3 before harvest...?

Regarding watering U wanna water till u see water coming out of the bottom of the pot I've read u wanna c 1/10 the amount of water u poured in the pot come out as run off, but u don't wanna over water it so u only do this like twice a week or when dirt is dry, easiest to judge this by the weight of the pot just after watering and the weight before watering to determine when ur plants need to be watered. So if its light give water. If u just water u plants a lil bit each time like half liter or w/e how r the roots down at the bottom of the pot getting any water?

Hey I started using water, just clean water but these spots and yellowing continues. Here is a picture one more time, maybe this will help to find proper cause. Thank you for any help.
