Hi all, im veary noob at all of this and could use your advice. Ok, i have a small little indoor grow op, 3 plants, and its been about a month since the first sprouts came up. The base of this little op has been just a bit of advise my friend gave me (who is posably more noob then me). anyway, the plants are starting to give off a faint smell, and there about 2 feet, 2.5 at most. according to my friend i need to switch my lights to a 12hr schedual or theyll never bud. is this true. i could realy use all the advise anyone can offer, ill try to put pics up tomorrow.:confused:

yes that is true switch them over to 12/12 if there 2ft because they will double in size once they flower..

You shouldn't grow with incandescents and you definitely won't be able to flower. You at least need CFLs (which can screw in to fluorescent fixtures). Since they're already around 2.5ft tall and probably have a huge huge distance between nodes you're not likely to have many bud sites and your plant will be at least 5 ft tall if not 7 when done and produce very little bud.

Read the GROWFAQ . You'll have to invest at least some money if you want anything worthwhile. Otherwise just plant them outside and wait for mother nature to do it for you.

k, lol, incandecents dont work... lol, well serves me right for trying to do things the cheap way. what are CFLs. and out doors was my intention at first, but i planted them way, way too early, im in norther ontario, canada, and althou, contrary to popular beleif, we dont have snow all year round, the snow just melted, and its only going up to +20 durring the day and drops to +7 at night

this whole post has to be bullshit. there's no way you can grow a 24-30 inch plant in one month under a household incandescent light bulb. Also, there's no way you can switch to 12/12 and have your plants show sex within 24 hours. Also Pistils don't pop out from the stem and the word "VERY" does not have an "A". Until you put up some pics to prove me wrong this is all bs man. You can still get advice if you don't have plants yet, no reason to make shit up.
