how far to keep light, when to give bloom nutes, and etc +rep

ok so im growing a strain i created i call it jackal its crystal x hijack. im running a 430w super agro hps and how far do i keep it from the top of my buddy`s? i have it at about 10-12 from the top. the area is 18''x22'' is that enough light or what?

next when do i give my plants bloom nutes. its a late flowerer it just started showing sex after 24days of 12/12 so its about 4 days since sex.

last: anybody ever do 12/12 from seed? and how long does that usually take i have w.widow and hash plant haze both fem from attitude. whats the average yield? never done it b4 and im trying to avoid stretching so and advice you will get rep. anyways the jackal strain i made its about 7'' tall and 2 feet wide and its throwing nodes like crazy its just a masive bush.


anyways +rep to responses.

how far to keep the lights hope it helps

If you're running a cooltube, you can keep the light almost as close as CFL's (within an inch). If not, 12-18 inches away is usually normal. Place your hand right above your plants and lower the light until the back of your hand starts to get hot. That's the distance you should keep your light from your plants. Give your plants nutes now! Start out slow but since she's already flowering, you could reach full strength quickly. Some plants like a lot of nutes, others just like a little.
12/12 from seed is mainly practiced by those with height restricted grow rooms. Seems a little pointless to me though when you can easily LST your plant in veg and get a much better harvest when thrown into flower. You can expect a 12/12 to finish in 9-12 weeks after germ.

well thanks to both of you enjoy the easy rep lol . im just trying to get feed back because i can never get an oz off my buddys at all i always end up with like an 8th and it sucks.
