Dont make fun of me frist time ever

so the lights are on for 18 hours on 6 off is that right?
3 are from seeds and 5 are clones ,the clones have got a lot off hairs looks like they want to bud there were like that when i frist brought them tho

not sure how old they are , ive had them 4 3weeks ruffly seeds i grew myself 3 weeks ago and got the clones at the same time but they had heaps of roots an were about 10cm tall

the light is 600wat , i just took the fan out as i didnt have much room an it is not very hot in the eny way,

what hours should the light be on i want them to be ready asap , i no its a very little room for 8 plants i think????

what kind of nutrients are you using? I would switch over to 12/12 now.....need to know your nutrients and then I can give you a baseline schedule to go by and you should be good to go.....plants look good and healthy from what I could tell in the picture with the HPS light off..... what kind of strain do you got? sativa or indica?

what type of soil you got going on? that would help a lot.....and do you have a TDS and PH pen? If not, I would definitely get me a set. And watering/feeding goes about like you have been told - just let the plant tell you really.....it will pretty much tell you when it needs to eat. But you will need to get you a schedule going - I would keep my ppm at the start around 750ppm for the first week - then WK2 up it to 950ish then WK3 - bout 1300ish - WK4 - bout 1600, WK5 - taper back to bout 1400 - then WK6 - 1200 - WK7 - just water - as it will be your flush week. I hope this helps - I do DWC/Bubbleponics so I am not the most savvy when it comes to soil - but if you keep a good eye on things this should keep you right in line where you want to be - a oscillating fan is a must in your room though! 24/7 - keep your temps around 70-80 if you can with RH at about 40-60%. Get yourself a cheap temp/hydrometer at lowes or home depot.

PPM = parts per million / - TDS = Total Dissolved Solids which you can equate to PPM - IE: 300 on a TDS meter would be 300 parts per million. PH meter will help dial your water in: PH 7 is neutral - 4 is acidic and 10 is alkaline. In soil......I would use Fox Farms Ocean Forest - but go with what you got - make your PH about a 6.3. I would use CocoCoir - most forgiving when it comes to watering, etc. : you want to maintain PH at 5.8-6.0.

You got so many different strains - and not a lick of growing experience - IMO - next time stick with one strain and learn the art...... before you overwhelm yourself. - But in reference to your schedule - you want to stick with about 7 to 8 weeks. Trichrome production will tell you - need a 30x pocket microscope - cloudy/milky to almost amber - harvest.

Best of luck!
