From seed to harvest

how long should it take? I've heard 6months and I've heard 2months

6months is discouraging...

Depends on how big you want the plant. First the plant will veg. Usually light will be on for 18/6. When ever you want it to flower, change light to 12/12. Have ?'s?

it really depends on the type of strain , how big (tall/bushy) you want you plant

i started 8 seedlings 2 days ago.

1 has broke the surface

so could i veg on 18/6 for like 4 weeks and then flower for like 8 weeks?

Bio, Yea vegging for a month then flowering would be your best bet. Your plants should grow to atleast be a foot tall maybe bigger. Idk it all depends on what you want to do.

well i veg in 24/0 gives my plants all the light they need to grow.

i will be vegging till they get 3-6 feet tall then flowering


:d gl with you grow.

do they grow faster under 24/0?

I want to use a 400w hps

but i have no money,

which cfl's do people use to grow? Just the claimed 100w nvision type you can find at hdepot?

people use 23w 42w 85w 105w, just depends on what you got in your area.

im useiing some 23w at the moment

im going to get 8 42w for side lighting(2 lights each side of plant)

and 2 85w or 3 42w for top lighting.

just depends if all my plants sprout or not.

cfls are good for veg but not so good for flowering.

cfls confuse me because I had one that says it was 100watts but i'm not sure if that just means its a 23 watt cfl thats a bright as a 100w?

i don't know if the ones at normal stores are the ones people use for horticulture

U have stages ov growth, Firstly germination from the seed sprouting to it being a seedling about a week,veg stage iz 2nd ,thats up to the individual persons requirments, U could even go straight into the 3rd stage,Flowering12/12 hours light/dark. U could veg em for 2-6 weeks,obviously they'll b bigger plants,Also the type ov plant, wich there r many,indica's will flower faster than sativa's,depends on the sort ov buzz u want off your plant.U can even go 12/12 from seed and have ya plants done in 7-10 weeks, also auto-flowering varieties flower irraspective ov dark period,18-20 lights on recommended for auto's, So basicly some ov it iz in your hands,but some ov it iz nature and can't b chaged( shame but good things r worth waiting 4 !!!! especialy growin ya own herb then dryin it an curin it then tasting that end product,now thats a buzz ov its own . good luck
